Spring Cleaning Part 3

Well the re-arrange is over! Yay!!!! I have to send quick thank yous out to Jessica (who lovingly set up the T.V. and helped so much!) and to Trish (who helped way more than a preggers lady ought to). We started early this morning with a trip to Home Depot. The bolts that came with Sophy's slide didn't fit so I had to go find longer ones. It was a quick trip though and I was able to find what I needed without too much hassle or expense. After that there was a quick detour by Target and home to get to work. Jessica was already there waiting for me when I arrived, and Trish was only about fifteen minutes behind her.
Jessica got to work on the T.V. shelf and set up. The original location for the T.V. didn't work once the slide was installed, so I had to purchase a small shelf for it and re-locate it to the window area. This also meant moving the Bassinet (that the girls used for stuffed animals) and relocating the stuffed animals to newly purchased toy hammocks in the corner where the T.V. used to be. A quick reshelving of kid books in Sophy's closet and out of the living room was the last touch to Sophy's new room!
Annabelle, Sophy, and Lola spent the rest of the morning playing on the slide and with the toy kitchen while Trish helped me fix up Lola's room. It was cute watching them all run in circles to climb up the ladder, cross the bed, and slide down. It made all the work on the rooms worth while to watch them play!
Lola's room was a little harder than Sophy's. Mainly because I was moving a giant piece of furniture in her room and very little out of her room. We put together the Big bed frame first so we could easily see where everything should go. This turned out to be the hard part. Where should it all go. It was quickly apparent that the preferred arrangement simply wouldn't fit. Too much furniture and not enough room. I finally settled on two big changes, I decided to take apart the crib and put up the toddler bed which was smaller, and I decided to move the guest bed into the corner. I hate putting big beds in the corner because it is difficult to get in and difficult to make the bed, but it was the only way it would work.
Once everything was in place it just took a few minutes to get everything looking nice, making beds and such. Nap time hasn't been fun because I've spent more time telling Lola to go back to bed than she has actually spent in her bed, but I guess she will learn in time.
