Thoughtful Motherhood

Busy Days

We've been busy, busy, busy here. We're in the middle of ripping up carpet so that we can have our concrete floors stained. It should look really beautiful when its all done. Our carpet is disgusting, and neither my husband nor I are fond of carpet with little children. We are 'converting' our dining room to our schoolroom/ library. The gorgeous schoolroom that my husband worked so hard on for us last year ended up being too small for all of us, and with a new baby coming we just need extra space for the six of us to fit during 'school'.

I hope to post pics of the boys' bedroom soon. It turned out really well, my husband is an excellent painter of 'stripes'.

I also hope to post some pics of a few of Amy's things in anticipation of her arrival, a few dresses that my mother has bought and some material that my mother-in-law is using to make the bedding. By the way, the crib bedding that I posted a month or so ago was just a joke. That's not our nursery. This little girl will be sharing a room with one of her brothers for at least five years (or until we have another girl), so there will not be a super-girly nursery.

I'll update more later.

I found your blog through the random button - I love all your pictures! I will be interested in hearing how your concrete staining project turns out. I've been thinking about doing this in our family room. The carpet in there is hideous, and I agree with you about carpet and kids. They just don't mix.

Blessings,
Courtney
