Changes

I hate spring time...it seems like we always have so many projects going on that we never get any time to rest.  So busy...so busy.

One of our major projects this spring has been getting ready for kiddo numero dos (which is due in 3 weeks).  Meaning we had to get Zac out of the nursery and the crib in to his own room and a new bed.  Of course we couldn't just put him in a new room with nothing in it, we had to purchase beds, paint, etc etc yada yada.  Since Zac's new room was the only room in the house not furnished, I wanted to paint it before we filled it up with furniture (so now we have a total of ONE room in our house that is painted something other than the flat/matte boring ivory that the builder put on the walls, look at us go!).  Then we had to find the bed...what type to get?  Well we just skipped about 13 steps and just bought a full over full bunk bed.  The reasoning being that at some point we will need 2 beds....at some point we will need beds bigger than toddler or twin beds...at some point we may need an extra guest bed...soooo why not right?!  So I had to research for weeks to find the right bed for the right deal.  And then we had to find mattresses, bedding, curtains, decorations....MAN! kids are expensive!

We were so worried the whole time about getting this done quickly so Zac had time to adjust to a new room before the baby came and so he wouldn't feel like she kicked him out of his room.  He is such a bed snob that we were worried he wouldn't take to his new bed or room and we would constantly be battling with him in his new room.   Well, either he is just a lot more easy going than we expected OR we made his room just THAT cool!  No problems adjusting AT ALL.  We got him sheets with balls on it, a lamp with a soccer ball, decals for the walls with all kinds of balls!  BALLS!!! He loves his new room and sleeps in it just fine at bed time and nap time.  Sure he can get out if he wants, but usually just waits for me to come and get him.

Here he is the first night in his room.  He looks like an ant on a mountain in that big bed.  It is crazy to think that 13 years from now he will be so big that he will most likely be sleeping diagonally so his feet can hang off the bed.  I suppose I should take some pictures of the entire room so you can see the decor and whatnot. 

We are not quite finished with his room.  We have an older dresser that I need to paint, but for now we are using one of the dressers from the nursery...little lady won't mind...she won't need it for a while.

Well now that pretty much all of Zac's stuff has changed rooms, we now have another room that has hardly anything in it...the nursery...so lucky for Jer we get to paint that room too!  Yay for kids!

Here are some other pictures of Zac that we have taken recently

Spaghetti - You'd think with the mess he liked it, but he didn't even eat a bite...he hates pasta.

One of his favorite things to do is play in dad's car

Fell flat on his face and REALLY bit his lip

Loves to put on dad's shoes...it used to be my shoes, so we're glad he made the switch

Playing in his tunnel

This is my sweaty kid!  He plays so hard he gets sopping wet!
