Just going with the flow

Last week I got completely fed up with asking Chip when he was going to move the guest bedroom furniture out so we could paint and have Karlee's new furniture delivered. I've only been asking him for 2 1/2 months! So, I took the bull by the horns and took care of it myself. Thanks to wonderful guys from Lambert Transfer, the old furniture was moved out last Wednesday.

My aunt Cyndi came over this weekend and painted Karlee's new room. Chip refused to paint the nursery before Karlee was born so I just had to make the green walls work. I was bound and determined that one of my girls was going to have a girlie pink room. Well, now Karlee will!

Karlee was infatuated with watching aunt Cyndi paint. She kept saying "look my pink room mommy!" It is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Karlee has really understood lately that she was moving to a new big girl room and Madelyn was going to live in her old room.

While I was cooking breakfast this morning, Karlee told me she was going to the play room. I didn't think anything about it since she does this all the time. When I went upstairs to tell her breakfast was ready, this is what I found.



She had pulled her blanket and little pillow into her new room along with several books. I just had to grab the camera! She told me to sit down and read with her in her new room. We read a few books and she kept telling me to let Madelyn see the pictures. So, she turned the book around so my belly could see!



I just couldn't drag her downstairs for breakfast since she was being so sweet. So, breakfast came to her. We had a little picnic in her new room. I figured it wasn't hurting anything since the room was completely empty and I have to vacuum anyway before the new furniture is delivered.



New big girl furniture is being delivered on Wednesday. I hope Karlee keeps up the excitement for her new room when its time to actually sleep in there for good. Now, the next step will be converting the bed Karlee has been in back to the crib. I just hope it doesn't take another 2 1/2 months of asking before Chip does it. Don't put it past me to hire someone to come do that too!!!!!

Stay tuned later this week for the finished big girl room pictures.
