a “new” room for Eli (and a post from me!)

Eli is almost 3.  A big boy.  Practically a giant!

We decided he was ready for a “big boy bed”.  Which meant it was also time to paint his room which was previously painted the way the prior owners wanted it. 

It was cute, but not the vision I had for Eli’s space.  Here are some before pictures (and yes, it was pretty much messy like this all the time).

And the after:

And of course, one of them, ahem, “sleeping”.

I didn’t take enough pictures of the “after”! If you look close enough you can see that he has robot sheets.  We also hung up 3 robot pictures that look perfect in his room.  And I love the color! 

We took the closet doors off and his dresser is now in part of that space.  I want to paint the inside of the closet blue too – someday. 

Hannah has slept on the top bunk since the bed arrived (last Thursday).  So far we have had NO problems with Eli going to sleep or staying in bed.  He loves it! 

I was only a little sad about putting the crib away.  It has been the crib for Macy, Hannah, and Eli.  We are saving it for now, but only because I don’t know what else to do with it at this point NOT because we will need it again.  No way!  :)

I've been so slow and random about blogging.  Most of the time I just don't feel like posting anything.  I have been taking plenty of pictures though so hopefully soon I will get them uploaded and create some posts.

Hope you are all having a great January!

90 minutes at Mount baker

We spent more time driving than we did sledding.

But it was a beautiful day.

About 9 degrees though.

Hence the 90 minutes.
