Big Boy Room

I finally got around to taking pictures of the boys' room. Let me just say that it's not very easy to do this with 2 very active little boys that want to jump from bed to bed and make the beds look messy. 

Good Finds

Now that I have the kids in the same room, I've been trying to organize it. I have a huge problem though. As I mentioned, my MIL bought the furniture for the room. It's just fine for furniture except the fact that in 3 pieces, I have TWO drawers and those drawers...well, they are small. Conner's old furniture (it's nice JCP expensive stuff) had 3 drawers but they are adult size drawers. Parker has the same kind of furniture but he has 5. Ok, so now I get to work with 2...SMH. I told Josh that I was NOT going to be able to work with that. I need a dresser and it needs to have more than 2 drawers. In an effort to not get rid of what she bought, we went to the Goodwill on Monday. We didn't find a dresser but we did find a new 4-wheeler power wheels. We didn't know if it worked, it looked like it just lived outside and that someone didn't really take care of it and it was $15. Josh just had to buy it. We got it home and within about 10 min he had it running.

Yes, Parker is crying. He did not want to ride w/Conner, he wanted to drive. He quickly got over it and moved on to other activities.  They even played together a little bit.

Conner even decided to ride the scooter down the hill. He fell but saved himself.

These boys sure do love to be outside :) I don't mind either because the inside of my house stays clean :)

Big Boy Bed

As I have mentioned in the past, we decided that the best option for us was to put the boys in a room together. Obviously I wanted to do this sooner than later so that if there is a transition period, we could get over those bumps long before a new baby comes in and rocks our world makes our hearts grow. Last week, my MIL came over and brought everything that she had purchased for a room. I won't get into it but she planned the whole room and I didn't really know much about it. I did get to pick out the headboards and I love them!

I bought pool noodles for their beds...instead of safety rails. 1. it's way cheaper...well, that's the real reason. I decided that the noodles were 'installed' so last night was the night. They were sleeping in their new beds. HUGE success! It took Josh and I each laying on a twin bed but they went to sleep and we didn't hear a peep until this morning. I had to wake Conner up! 

I took some pics of the room but Parker's quilt isn't here yet so I am going wait until I get that to post them (and then I'll take new pics). I did take some pics of them in their beds though :)

Here's what the noodles look like. I just put them under the fitted sheets.
