Snow Day Work Day

Nathan and I were both off work today due to inches of snow and ice. I didn't leave the house so I have no idea how bad it is but Nathan attempted to go to work and couldn't get out of our neighborhood without spinning out so I took that to mean it was pretty bad. We took advantage of our day off by cleaning out the office and transforming it into a baby room...well, almost! =)

Here are a few pictures of things we did get done. It doesn't look like much but it was plenty!

Step One: This bookshelf matches the baby bed, but it was in our bedroom. So, I cleaned off the bookshelf that was there. Since this was an office, we had a bookshelf that held commentaries, office supplies, etc. I moved that bookshelf to a storage closet which created space for the bookshelf from our room that matched (which is of the utmost importance).

Step Two: This is the matching bookshelf to the one that is now in the baby room. It is still in our bedroom but we had to do some re-decorating/re-organizing. Since the baby room is where the office used to be, we needed somewhere to put the computer so we moved the computer to our room. This isn't ideal but it definitely works until Nathan graduates and we move into a house!

Step Three AND Four: Ok, this is the part that is supposed to be funny, but it isn't! We put the bed together although it doesn't look like it here. We assembled the bed in the living room before realizing it wouldn't fit through the bedroom door! Yeah........so, it is laying in the floor in the baby's room until we decide to try again. It's a rather frustrating task so it can wait until tomorrow...or later.

We had a very productive day! There is still lots more to be done but we are making progress. I am definitely someone who doesn't like to leave tasks unfinished BUT this must be done in stages and with PATIENCE (grrr)!! =) I have to remember that all this is for our precious baby and it's all worth it - it's not his fault that his bed is SO FRUSTRATING to put together! =)

It's all for you, little guy! =)
