Home makeover and Friday Funny!


2 Friday funnies:
Kamryn has been climbing lots more lately and can now get on every chair in the house. (luckily our bed is still too high!) :)  The other day I was in my room doing something and heard her kinda "huffing and puffing" and working very hard at something.  I went into the office and found her like this:

Uh-oh! I'm caught! :)  (We've never seen her climb up to USE the computer!  But she was anxiously typing and then using the mouse and pointing to the screen, then back to typing!) :0)  Wonder where she learned all that?! :)


#2: Kamryn hates to have her fingernails cut and her toenails are even worse.  But Ryan was in the bathroom the other day, cutting his toenails, and Kamryn went in, watched him for a minute, and then sat down and stuck her foot in his face!  Kinda cute!  Wanting to be just like Daddy!
So...we had a nail cutting party on the bathroom floor!


Ok...and now...the makeover of our house! (This all happened today! I'm so excited about it!)

Last week we ordered a new crib, got a crib mattress and then ordered baby bedding for our little boy.  We decided to get a convertible crib for Kamryn (turns into a toddler bed) and then pass the other crib down to baby brother.  
Well, yesterday the crib came!  I was so excited...but Ryan had to work all day and wasn't around to put it together. (Let's be real...with my tummy, I'm not going to be able to do it!)  so...I had to wait with that huge box in my living room ALL day yesterday! :)  Lucky for me, however, Ryan's day off every week is Fridays!  So we had time this morning!

PROJECT ONE: move old crib from Kamryn's room into other bedroom.
1. This crib is already Duct Taped in some places because of past moves, so it isn't real easy to take apart.  So, we were hoping it would just fit through Kamryn's door.  Unfortunately--Nope.  BUT it did fit through without the door. So Ryan took off the door and we got it to the hallway. Success!
2. Moving the crib from the hallway into the other bedroom: uh-oh!  Even with the door off, the crib isn't fitting into the room...  We got out a tape measure and sure enough, our door frame to the 2nd room is 2 inches smaller than Kamryn's door!!  What is that?!!!  I cannot get over who designed this apartment... but they obviously weren't really into being consistent!! :)  So...unfortunately...we had to take apart part of the crib anyway!  When that's what we were trying so hard to avoid!! Dang!
3. After much struggle and frustration...and probably 40 minutes...we got the crib from one room to the other!

CHECK!

PROJECT TWO: Build new crib in Kamryn's room
1. Ryan set out to build the crib and really, it only took 30 minutes to put together!  Pretty simple and he didn't even need my help much!  Although, Kamryn wanted to "help" a lot! :)   So my job was to distract her! 2. Crib is all set up...let Kamryn test it out!  She got in .... and started JUMPING!!  A new trampoline! ;)  As she was jumping, we realized that the mattress was too high for how tall she is.  She was gonna jump right out of that thing!  So...Ryan lowered the bottom springs to the lowest setting, and now it is perfect!
CHECK!

PROJECT THREE: Put doors back on both bedrooms
CHECK!

PROJECT FOUR: Organize Kamryn's room and other room now that both are looking more crowded with more furniture.
1. This didn't take too long...it was actually fun for me. 
2. While I was organizing, I asked Ryan to check on the status of our baby bedding being shipped.  I was just curious when I could expect it to be here because now I had an empty crib sitting in the bedroom.  He looked it up and it was out for delivery TODAY! :)  I was so excited!  I found myself checking and re-checking for it on the front porch!  Finally, the doorbell rang! (Picture: waiting for the bedding to come!)
CHECK!


PROJECT FIVE: Decorate with new baby bedding!



I think it turned out pretty well, don't you?!
CHECK


PROJECT SIX: Survive 80 more days before baby boy is here! (maybe decide on a name needs to be included in that time?!!) :)

Whew, what a busy day. The bedding is SO DANG DARLING! Almost makes me want to have another baby just for all the cute stuff :-)

Oh I LOVE the bedding! It is SO adorable! I can't wait for that little man to come! (Bet you can't either...ha ha) Oh, I just love it! Sorry the project was so involved though! Can't wait to see it all in person. Love you!

I think you're nesting early...amazing how much you got done! The bedding is really cute...and so is your little princess!

Love you all!!

Katrina said...

you're right...I am nesting early! I'm just so anxious...this was just a "project"! :) Now I'm going to be working on things that don't involve me or my life! Focus on other people! :)

Thanks for all the comments! I love it!

I like the new boy bedding! Cute and much easier to buy than make. Kamryn's quilt looks cute with white! I love her new crib!

Way to go, Momma! I love the baby decor. You've got an eye!
