The Almost Finished Project

We worked on Evan's and Conner's rooms on Saturday before Mike packed up and went to Haiti. He is on a medical mission with the church and will hopefully be home on Saturday evening, on time. Here are some pictures of the almost finished products.

Evan gave his bed a try during nap time

This is Evan's old room, Conner's room. Lola added the border and it gives the room something extra. I have already stocked up on diapers and wipes and therefore, you see all that stuffed in the corner of the room.


A lovely shot of the border above the disassembled crib, filled with sheets and clothes. Pardon the messes in these pictures! I am still working on the piles of junk.


One more shot of Conner's room.


Here's Evan's room with his new bookcase, already full of books. At least the books aren't in a closet anymore. You will also find more boxes of my junk in here. I have so many scrapbooking, art supplies, and Jimmie Johnson collectables but no room to store them anymore.



A picture of more of my junk, purses and things, beside Evan's new chest of drawers from IKEA, curtains borrowed from Conner's room, and a new lamp shade for the wall lamp. We also had to go buy Evan a new DVD player as my old one, from nearly 8 years ago, finally gave out.


Evan's firetruck name decoration has been moved to his train room. I want to get Conner one of these but they are quite pricey.


And I leave you with a few pictures of my budding train conductor.



The room still has a few things left, besides moving my junk out. I have ordered Evan a new toddler bedding set and wall mural so he has some more Thomas and Friends decorations in his room. I kind of blew my $25 in spending out of the water since I bought the few extras but I am still under $100! Have a good week and keep Mike and the Saint Monica's Medical Mission team in your prayers while they take care of the people of the sister parish in Haiti.

Well, I guess you beat me at the baby's room race....but I'll be "not pregnant" before you! :) Drew would love Evan's train room!

The boys rooms are really coming along. I like that "Little Engine That Could" bedspread.
