Now that Grandma Igsora is gone and birthday #1 is quickly approaching, we decided it was time to fully turn over the spare bedroom to Alexander. It began with the moving of our weight equipment into our room and is now coming to a close with painting and decorating. Thankfully my family has been so awesome and has come down to help us with moving stuff and all the painting. Last weekend Steve, Ricardo, and Shawn moved the weight machine and this weekend Sarah, Shawn, and Noah came down to help again. Friday night Sarah, Mel, and I started painting while Shawn and Ricardo took the boys out to eat ribs. Alexander and Noah just love spending time together. We can see there's going to be a bit of healthy competition between the two of them. During our painting, we ordered pizza and drank wine coolers and had a great time...we're pretty convinced a lot of it had to do with the horrible smell of the primer that was probably making us loopty-loop! Yes, that is a weight belt that Melanie has on. On Saturday Sarah and I did some shopping and picked up some things for his room and then later that day Ricardo, Alexander and I ran to Menards to get blinds and a laser level so I could paint the stripe down the middle. Ricardo taped everything off today and we finished the painting. And, I spent the rest of the day hanging things. Alexander loves the room. He just laughs and smiles everytime he goes in there. We'll be moving his bed in there this week before we leave for Florida but we still have some things to do aside from that. Gotta say, we are looking forward to some rest and relaxation away from home for a few days!
