before and after!

Yay! Picture time! Are you excited?! I know you are, it's okay to admit it, promise!:o)
I will be sharing with you tonight, or this morning, what ever it is(it's 12:06am right now for me), some before and after pictures of my kids room.....why? Well because Madison is now(well has been for like a week now) in a big girl bed, and Nolan is now(again for like a week) sleeping in a crib in their room(they share right now).

But first I dug up my cheerleader picures so you can all see what I was talking about.

Okay, room picture time!!

First, Madison greets us as we enter their bedroom:

Then she runs and lays on her bed pretending that her room messed itself up:

Nolan's bed, being used as a spot for when you don't feel like putting away the laundry:

And oh! What do you know?! Mommy's claning magic touch did the trick!:

That was alot of work pputting her bed together! It was really heavy too!
The bed was actually Madison's great grandmother's bed and is made of brass, so it has some nice history to it:o)

I am soo tired right now, and really we did nothing today.
Oh, guess what?! I'm going to be 25 on the 14th! Can you belive it? I just remember when I was younger I thought 25 was sooo stinkin old! Now......okay I still think I'm getting old, but it's not that old:o)






Ciao.

Love the big girl bed!! My Aunt has a brass bed that's been in our family for 74 years. It's currently in storage waiting for me to have another bedroom to put it in.

You are NOT the "big one". Pfft.

Ah that was a lot of work! I remember those days of straightening the kids room just to see it messy again in a few minutes. And assembling things - thankfully mine are old enough now I just hand them the tools and say Have at it.

So cute! It's like a princess bed! We haven't switched yet, but I've been thinking about it!

OH, and it's been a while since I've seen an OHS cheerleader. :) Hee hee.

We got my son Caleb a big boy bed I think it was last month. It is a fire engine bed(shaped like one and all) luckily it was put together for us already! The hard part was tearing down the crib. I love her bed though, it's so cute! I hope I have a girl next time so I can get pretty stuff like this for her!

you know honey, I just don't see that you were "so much bigger" than the other cheerleaders, I think you just look pretty and were smiling! You will look back on those pictures in another 10 years and wonder "why the heck" you were so hard on yourself. Take it easy on you...ya know? Love you mom.
p.s. I love their room and I will come back over and let madison show me her bed. Luv and hugs.

OMG look at the new big girl bed! EEEP! She looks so grown!

And how cute were you as a crazy pom pom princess?! (Though I feel ya. I was one for 5 minutes or so and I was "SO MUCH BIGGER" than the other girls too. *sigh* I think you looked GORGEOUS!!!)

I'm so far behind on blogs but you understand, right? Yes, you do because you're NICE and you'll have to see my blog to prove it. lol.
