A little baby love

How did we spend a childless weekend? Well we sure as hell didn't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves, that's for sure! On Friday after work I suggested that we hop in the car and head down to LA to see our niece and nephews in their Christmas play instead of sitting at home doing nothing. After a lot of thought, we thought it would be best to stay home and "find something to do". Well after "asking" Mikey MANY times if we could start on the playroom, I was surprised when he said okay!

OMG!!!

Well we got started early Saturday by me running of to buy candles and Mike knocking out the circa 1970's lava rock fireplace..... Byebye fireplace! Byebye rock! Hello strange gray haired man in my house...oh that's my husband!


I came home carrying at least $600+ dollars in these candles and I payed less than $100. Score!
I even found this one to light on the day we get our referral!

But now it's time for me to work....So off we go to H*ome D#epot to get the supplies needed to make a perfect space for people large and small. Byebye yucky rusty-orange, hello primer!

Where there was once a fireplace there is now a new wall and a sneak peek at the wall color. The "new" wall also has a reason....but I have to leave that until later, just because I want to leave you hanging on for more.


Carpet comes next weekend and painting will be finished this week when we get home from work. Oh man tomorrow is going to be a long day waiting until Big J get home from school and see's what "his" space is turning into. hehehehe I'm all giddy! When it's done, I'll finish this post......
