Room Changes

After many months we have decided to switch the girls rooms around. We are going to have Lexi and Ashlee share a room and they will both be in Lexi's room. Carly will move upstairs to Ashlee's room and Baylee will join her when I'm ready to send her up there. Ashlee is sad to say goodbye to her polka dot room- she LOVES it. She wasn't very happy to find out she was going to not only lose her room, but have to give up her stripes and dots as well, but after looking at new bedding she is all for giving it up. Carly is starting a new preschool and will have to get up early with the older girls.
This project is a lot bigger then I was thinking. Lexi and Ashlee decided to surprise me and move all Ashlee's clothes into Lexi's closet. Since they took the first step I figured I better keep it going. I spent 3 hours in ASHLEE'S closet! She is a pack rat! Still after all that her room is not clean- in fact it's still quite a mess!

I did get all the books off the bookshelf and into Lexi's closet, and got all the games into what will be Carly's closet- that's the only thing that looks organized after all my hours of sorting and cleaning!

I thought it was so great that they both had walk in closets, now I am cursing that fact. Do you know how much crap gets hidden in there?! Lexi's closet door won't open all the way because she has 3 old backpacks full of junk behind the door. (Ashlee had 4 in her closet!!)

School was canceled today for snow, so everyone was here when I was throwing things away, many tears were shed by Ashlee. It's hard for her to part with paper that she wants to save and reuse, shoe boxes she's hidden to make crafts with, and wrapping paper rolls to draw on. I'm all for recycling, but I do have to draw the line! School is also canceled tomorrow so I'm hoping to get both upstairs rooms done and have Carly's stuff moved up by tomorrow. Then will come the fun of selling our huge bunk bed set, buying 2 new twin beds, and buying a new set of small bunk beds. I have been looking on craigslist and am hoping to find some good deals on beds and hoping someone will buy our set.

I went out in the snow with the kids today, yes you read that right- I WENT OUT IN THE SNOW! Baylee needed to see it, but wasn't very impressed with it as you can tell by her expression of joy in the picture!

Here's a picture Lexi took so Darrell will believe me when I say I was actually outside, not just standing in the doorway.
