Project: The Twins' Room

Our weekend was a flurry of activity getting ready for the twins to arrive on Monday. We decided Friday night to switch Little Guy to the "office" room, which was almost empty besides my desk and bookshelf. The closet in his "old" room is a smidge bigger than the one in his "new" room, and we figure two girls will need the extra closet space. Plus, Miss A can be close by them and feel like that area is the "girls' wing".

Here are some pictures of how we put the room together:

One side of the room with a bed and a project I'll write about another day...

Moving around the room...

Bed #2!


We got the bedding and wall decorations at... of course... Target. We had to get a second bed, which we got at Target as well, actually a crib that converts to a toddler bed and then later can be converted to a double-sized bed. I tried Craigslist all Friday night and Saturday morning, but was only hitting dead ends, so we decided to go with Target. Some friends from church gave us the dresser today. (Thanks, Mrs. and Mrs. S! You rock!) We'll have some fun painting it one of these weekends.

As far as everything else on the preparation check-list, we're sitting pretty good. I washed all of Miss A's clothes we saved from size 2T to 4T, just to have it on hand and ready to wear. I snagged just a couple of outfits (not sure what size the girls wear), two pairs of pajamas, two jackets, pullups and wipes, a couple extra sippy cups and booster seats for the table. We already had a spare car seat for Little Guy, so we only had to buy one instead of two. Again, Craigslist may have been cheaper, but the logistics of hunting these things down individually, then traveling to pick them up, was too much for one short weekend. I know I will have to run and get other things I forgot; I already remembered I didn't buy toothbrushes yet!

We're in high gear and loving it! Can't wait to meet our new sweeties tomorrow!
