Big Boy Bed

Yep. We took the plunge yesterday. I came back from a Saturday morning activity and The Man had turned the crib into a bed.

So far, so good. The Boy doesn't have any issues with it..............yet.

Arkansas

Well you all should have bet against me. I did not finish the room before the Man got back or before I had to leave for Arkansas.

I took the Boy down for a few days to see the fam. We stayed with Aunt Jo Jo and Guncle. Of course I didn't take a camera, but we had a great time. The Boy was absolutely perfect the entire way down and back.

We miss our family and we can hardly wait to see them again.

(Room project still in progress, but getting close thanks to all the work The Man did while we were out of town. I'll post pictures when it's all finished.)

Room Update

Alright...let me quell any rumors for ya. I am not pregnant. Do I talk about it enough to make people to wander? Probably. Will the room be a small, second nursery? Hopefully. Will it be used for that within 9 months? Definitely not. I just want to be prepared when number two finally comes along.

Now, on to what I've learned trying to finish this room by myself.

1. Circular saws are a little scary.
2. Make sure you watch the blade until it has come to a complete stop.
3. Watch the cord attached to the saw so that it does not get in the way of said spinning blade.
4. Elecrtical tape works on power tool cords.
5. Jig saws, unlike circular saws, are fun.
6. Shop vacs should have a filter in them when using the "dry" setting.
7. My quilt is machine washable.
8. Wear a mask when sanding off spackle.
9. Dry spackle turns wet inside your nose after inhaling it.
10. The overhead lights we installed are really hot to the touch.
11. The male workers at home improvement stores are very willing to help you.
12. They assume you know nothing.
13. This is more work than I thought, but I still managed to dry wall the most difficult portion of the room.

I can't wait for this to be finished.
