The twin Snowflakes have officially moved into JrMrS's room (they've slept down there/played down there alost EVERY night since Mr. S built that room) and we've split the girls into their own rooms.
This weekend was our final chore - painting JrMsS's new room. Changing it from a nursery to a pre-teens room was not as easy as I thought. It was nice I was able to go shopping so soon after college dorm season - lots of clearance items.
We started out Friday night sanding the ugly stencils (I hate stencils - the only good decision Mr S's stupid-butt ex ever did was not making the stenciling all bumpy) so we didn't have to do too much sanding. Then the girls started taping the room while I went to work.
UG--LY!!!
The stencils disappeared after one coat :)
Saturday evening after work, my bestest sister came over and helped with the next coat. We ran out of paint though :( In the morning we decided it was "good enough" though (seriously - DO NOT stencil and expecially DO NOT use a "yellow" paint - it's ugly and it'll piss off the new wife when she goes to re-paint your mess). Sunday morning we started moving Jr.Ms.S in.
Her room looks so much more grown up :(
The funniest thing is that when I woke them up this morning they both mentioned how much better they slept last night - I totally thought it would be the opposite and they would have wanted to go sleep together again. I guess it was time, huh?LMS loves having her own space and she got a few non-little girl things in her room too.
I'm really happy the girls have their own space now and the boys (at least the twins) are where they want to be. I just feel like this is my slow walk towards losing my kids and then moving halfway (or all the way) across the country- it makes me sad.
What was a big milestone for you and your kids?
