A busy homebound weekend

We've got sick kids at our house...again! I swear, this has to end at some point, right? The two little girls both threw up on Thursday night. Peyton had a fever all day friday, and luckily, once Lexie threw up, she wasw pretty much done with it, thank goodness for that.

With the kiddos being sick, and some not too fabulous weather (which caused both of my sessions to be canceled on saturday), we found ourselves with some free time on saturday. So, we decided it was finally time to put together the nursery for our four month old baby boy.

We started bright and early saturday. Peyton's fever was gone by now, so the kids had free reign of the house while Kevin and I locked ourselved in the room to paint, without three girls who REALLY wanted to help.

We got to this point and I loved the darker paint on top. But I had something else in mind too, I just wasn't sure I wanted to go to all the work to get to the end point that I had in mind.

So I decided to do just one wall to see if I really loved the look, and if I did, then I would finish off the rest of the room.

 Yeah, I kinda REALLY loved the stripes. But I SO did not want to do the rest of the room. Measuring, and taping, and more painting.

What can you do but start? I got the tape up last night, and finished this morning.



and I LUUUVE IT!!!! Oh my goodness, I love how the stripes look in the room! We moved some of his furniture in, and the crib, now that Lexie is officially done with it. That's what happens with kiddos get sick. Halli wanted to be seperate so she didn't get it, so we put her in Lexies room, and Lexie with Peyton. She's been in the big girl bed since!



I also repainted the dresser that had been in the girls rooms when they were babies. I'm still trying to decide in the stripes on the front are too busy with the stripes in the room...hmmm.



All in all, I'm glad it's done, and I think this little guy LOVES it too!
