Okay, so these pics are very much out of order. This is the main reason I don't blog as much because I always have a hard time when I try to post the pictures with what I write and in the right order. It doesn't let me drag the pic where I want it or it will delete it all together, or it won't let me write under certain pics??? Ugh. Anyway, hopefully you can kinda get the idea :)
My little Helpers :)

The painting after!Decorating this baby's' room has been so much fun! We decided to wait until after Christmas to get started since Christmas is such a busy time. Plus, we still needed to get Oklan and Jake in the same room together with bunk beds and I wanted to re-decorate that room and get it all situated for the boys. It has been great because it made it so I de-cluttered the rooms as well and that felt sooo good! So here are a few pictures of the boys' decor and rooms after we combined them and "re did it" :)
Then, once everything had settled from Christmas I got started on the painting of the baby's' room! I Loved how it turned out! I had been looking on a few websites and things for ideas because Boys' nurseries are soooo hard I think! So I kept going back to the color gray. But I didn't want it too dark and I didn't want it to look blue-ish because I have seen some that end up that way... When I went to the paint store (Sherwin Williams of course!) The guy there was so helpful it took me a good 45 mins to decide but I'm glad I took my time because it turned out perfect! Then, we got the crib up and put the bedding in that my AMAZING mom MADE! I couldn't find any bedding that I liked or that matched the theme of the room so my mom said she could just make one and was so happy to do it! I got the fabric and padding for the bumper pads and away she went! Have I mentioned how amazing she is?? I DO NOT know what I would do without her! I am so grateful. Then, we still need to get the rocker in that my awesome mother in law is re-doing for me! Yeah how about that? she is re covering a rocker she had and painting it for me! Same thing, I got the fabric and away she went! I know I am soooo lucky!! I know I know :) Then, we need to paint the dresser and put the changing table on it and decorate! So It's coming along :)
Oh I am so excited!

Oh my word... Can I come live at your house? Or maybe can we rent a beautifully decorated room from you for one of our children? Preferrably, one of the lesser well behaved GIRLS? You could use one of those anyway.
I think those little boys are so lucky to get to sleep and play in those rooms.
And you are amazing to do that while you are pregnant. I could barely make the beds in my kids rooms.
Uumm! I LOVE IT....LOVE IT....LOVE IT! You are all amazing. You have quite the nack for decorating Chel! I was not blessed with that talent at all, BUT YOU DEFINItELY were. It is amazing. and yes you are blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law and mom of course, need we say more. I love it, and I miss you tons...tons...tons. I love you guys so much!
