Seriously?

Somehow October showed up in full force. I can't believe it's already here - it just seems to have flown in. What have we been up to, you might ask? Redecorating Bailey's room. She'll be moving into a "big girl bed" soon (we're planning in December - could be earlier) and decided that this would be a good time to update her room to a little girl room. Her bedding is chocolate and pink and we decided that we'd give her a room that compliments that. So far Adam has painted the entire room and added the wainscoting and trim around the room. I've stained half of the room and stained the curtain rod and door frame. "All" that we have left is:

• Finish staining
• Add the crown moulding
• Hang her name
• Hang the shelves (and stain them)
• Get one more painting for the wall above the rocking chair

Bailey did "help" us paint her room last week. We gave her a little cup of paint and a foam brush and had her stand on a sheet and paint the walls - that way both of us could be productive in her room. The work conversation went something like this:

Bailey: Hey dad, you painting the room?
Adam: I'm painting the room. Are you painting the room?
Bailey: Yup dad, sure did. Hey mom, you painting the room?
Me: I'm painting the room. Are you painting the room?
Bailey: Yup mom, sure did. Hey dad, you painting the room?

You don't need me to transcribe the rest in order to get the picture. Now, imagine that conversation going on for about 45 minutes. Talk about engaging conversation!! Tonight Bailey kept us engaged in discussion with the following,
"Hey mom - what you doing?" Once I answered it she asked Adam the same question. 45 MINUTES!!

Anyway - here are some pictures of the work so far. Every time that Bailey walks into her room she declares, "It's beautiful, mom!" I agree - Adam is very talented and obviously puts special care into creating a lovely place for Bailey to rest!!
