Well, give German Lopez a three day weekend and look what he can do! Of course he drags me along too, sometimes willingly, like this past weekend, sometimes under protest, like when I watched him demo our kitchen two years ago as I wrote report cards! We began by moving the pool table to the basement, which was surprisingly easier than I thought! I was living in dread of the day we attempted this one, but G and I did it, with little trouble! It fits down there quite nicely and prompted a clean out of the rest of the basement. (We started that last weekend!) German's workshop currently looks great! Take a look at the picture, there will probably never be another posting of our basement!! All of our storage is better organized, the Christmas decorations are finally (officially) down and put away and the sun room is now set up with some of Sof's larger toys. The heater vents are open and; while it is cooler than the rest of the house, it isn't too cold, so please don't think we are regulating our child into frigid temperatures! The move has created a LOT more livable space in our home! The Sun room looks more like a room you want to spend time in and the living room looks more home-y and less playroom-y. It is very satisfying!
Another big step we happened to take, very spontaneously, was to move Sof into a big girl bed! We found a cute platform bed with shelf and drawer storage and cute bedding that she got to pick out. (She went with butterflies, while G & I wanted flowers!) This prompted more cleaning out and we have moved the changing table out to become a TV stand for further notice. (Until we are in need of a changing table again, which is not yet in the works!) Sof now has more livable space as well for playing in her room and for stretching out while she sleeps! She adjusted very well and thanked us 100 times for "..getting me a big girl bed. I love it so much!!" She is so sweet! She played in her room for hours this weekend and was thrilled to see the sunroom become her other new play area as well! Now she has more room for scootin' on her new Dora scooter and bouncing on her Little Mermaid bouncy ball. She has had a big weekend! German and I feel like we need another three days off to recover from all the moving and cleaning! The garbage we just dragged out to the street in 10 degree weather was a sign of our hard work! Let's hope for a snow day so we can enjoy the fruits of our labors!
