Making the Room

We had a great weekend! I'll have to get out the camera and upload some pictures, but for now, here's a quick rundown.

~ Friday - Mother/Son Movie Night at William's school
~ Saturday morning: went to William's basketball game and then out to breakfast with my mom & step-dad. Then our friends that are missionaries in Ukraine came and spent the day with us. They're home on furlough for several months. We had such a great time with them, and look forward to seeing them more during their time here.
~ Sunday: church, furniture shopping, super bowl party

For several months, we've been talking about and kind of looking at furniture for Solnyshko's bedroom. Yesterday, we went out with intention and found exactly what we needed & wanted! It will be delivered in a few weeks, giving us time to get all the work done in the room beforehand (minor wall repairs & painting, and possibly some closet organizers). The comforter should arrive today, so we can settle on a paint color and get started soon. Of course, with the beds we ended up ordering, we'll now need to purchase one more comforter set, and another mattress.

We've also decided to redecorate the kids' bathroom. It's a very grown-up theme (William says it's boring) and we thought it would be fun to make it more fun for them. It's also a great way to include William so he doesn't feel like all the changes & work are just for the new sibling. We're still working on details for that project, but we're thinking we might go with a surf/Hawaiian theme.
