Saturday I took the kids BY MYSELF to Ikea and Target to get new furniture and fun things for the room, and then set it all up so they now have a fully functional bedroom. Do I hear the angels singing, Hallelujah? Some things were just fun stuff, like a drawing easel, and some were necessary, like a piece of furniture for toy storage. Overall, I’m pleased with the arrangement. I think the kids are too.
SUNDAY I again took the kids out by myself (football, baby) and we went shopping for clothes for them. Last week we had a mild cold snap which reminded me that they have very little long sleeved shirts and Spencer has no fitting pants to speak of (long and skinny is surprisingly hard to dress). It was a successful trip, with many pairs of pjs, shirts and jeans.
And a mini pie maker for me.
Today I’m going to try to start reading Game of Thrones. I don’t know how I feel about this. I have never seen the show, and I don’t know if I’ll be interested in the book at all, but people talk and therefore I listen, and now I have Game of Thrones on my desk awaiting lunchtime. And if I don’t like it, Savages is waiting for me at the library.

Lady, if you don't like either GoT or Savages, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. I would have started with Kings of Cool, but you get what you get. I think you'll like Savages more, because as far as I know you're not as into fantasy as I am, but persevere! GoT is an excellent series, and I believe I have them all in paperback. I can send 'emin to you.
I love the room! The drawers (is that toy storage or clothes storage?) are so cute.
Let us know about GoT. I read it 8 or 9 years ago, and I plan to re-read the series again sometime soon, probably before the next season.
P.S. Love that there's a bookshelf in there too. I'm so envious of your kids!
Your boys are so cute! I hope the bunk beds continue to go well! I really like the easel. We may have to get one.
Oooo, I didn't know GoT was a BOOK too! I tried watching the first season on DVD but there were just too many boobs and graphic "maritals" scenes so I had to reluctantly give it up. (Prude alert) But I loooooved the story line! Let me know if the book is any better!
I had to return GoT to the library - the nerve of some people, someone else had it reserved so I couldn't renew. I got 24 pages in, and I didn't hate it but it was a a lot of characters and no cohesion yet. So we'll see when I borrow it again if I like it.
The kids have always had a bookshelf in the room, but it was in the corner and not really usable. Out in the open (in the "reading nook") the books are more accessible. The fabric bins in the closet are clothes, and the shelves/bins next to the bed are toys.
Thanks everyone!
Ive heard great things about GoT, I've been trying to get my hands on a copy too! Thanks Stacie for the heads up about the show. (From one prude to another :).
Loving the pics. I guess I should probably think about moving T out of the crib, too, huh? I guess I've already started thinking about it, but he just does SOOOO well in his crib and I'm SO afraid to mess with that.
I was scared of moving Henry but he's doing so well in the bed too. I would have put it off if they has more room though.
