Nodding My Head Like Ya, Moving My Hips Like Ya

Wahoo, throw a party! We are finally done with all the projects!

Sorry for the delay in the big reveal. I really didn't think it would take this

long to complete them. Life just caught up to us once again. Casey was

my miracle carpenter, painter, shelf hanger upper... So between that and work, he has been one busy man lately! Seriously, what would I do without him! I guess I could have taken some burdens off of him but let's face it, working a miter or skil saw is NOT my forte:)

Lane has made the transition from crib to big boy bed very well! I was expecting it to be really hard for him, but he proved me wrong! The very first night he hopped right in, gave us kisses and snoozed the night away! We haven't had any problems. So without further ado, here is Lanes BIG BOY ROOM!

Yes I know, you are thinking, we waited a week in a half for that?! Sorry if you were disappointed. I would LOVE to do more things with the room but it's just a little thing called a budget that is getting in my way! Hopefully soon I can add some more details that would make it perfect.

Oh, I guess we have run into one problem with the new bed. You see, Lane is a roller like me while he sleeps. Unlike his dad who lays down and wakes up in the same position in the morning. I was worried about him rolling off in the middle of the night and breaking his arm or something. I know there are side rails you can buy and attach onto the bed. However, being the cheap person that I am, I decided that you might as well learn young where the edge of your bed is:) I think he has it figured out now but for about 3 nights when I went to check on him, I found him all nice and comfy on the floor.

Poor thing. So recently every night when I tuck him in I say " hey, if you roll off your bed while you are sleeping, don't stay on the floor! Get up and get back in your bed!" The first time I told him this I think it clicked because his face read "oh ok, that makes sense". So for the past few morning when he yells at me to get him up (yes, he WAITS for me to come get him out! BLESSED CHILD!) he first informs me that he is not on the floor. Such a little cutie!

Part 2 of our revamping was a new home for the computer!
When you live in a 1500 sq ft. home and all the rooms are taken up, you
have to get a little creative to accommodate everything. Once again, thanks to Casey
and his mad skills, he build a little computer nook at the end of our hallway. If you have been in our house before, it's in the corner between the laundry room door and the entertainment center. I have been trying to describe it to a few people but they couldn't quite grasp how and where that would work so hopefully that helps you picture it a little bit better.

If you are wondering if that color is pink, you are most definitely correct!

I have been itching for something pink and girly in my house for awhile. Knowing I
wasn't going to be able to decorate the nursery pink, I took the plunge (with Casey's permission first) and actually did it! I was kind of nervous since this is a main part of the house and didn't know if it would all flow together with my other decor but I really like how it all turned out. The chandelier is my personal favorite:) Well it's a tie between my $5 Goodwill chair the we repainted and re-upholstered.

It feels good to be done and living normally again! Well, it is a different feel. Now I can see Casey sleeping on the couch while I do my nightly routine on the computer in my blissful pink nook, Lane is sound asleep (hopefully on his bed) on the other side of the house and the crib is waiting to have a new occupant in a few short 9 weeks!
