Busy busy busy

Wow! I can't believe that it has been over two weeks since I last blogged. The reason - I have been busy, busy, busy. Ever since the new year I have been on a major organizing kick. I don't quite know why and no I am not pregnant. I guess it all started when we bought a new mattress for our bedroom.

Up until a few weeks ago Dan and I slept in a double sized bed. After talking to my sister, who recently got a new queen sized bed and has loved it, we decided to also move up. Dan's feet stuck off the side of our old bed, the mattress slid around and wouldn't hold on the sheets and the old bed frame squeaked and moved so much that you couldn't move around or get out of bed without waking the other person. So we purchased a new queen sized novafoam mattress from Costco. Well that also meant I needed to get a new bed frame, comforter and bed sheets. And that is what set it all off. Since I had furniture that matched the bed frame downstairs I decided to move the matching bookcases into our bedroom, which meant that I had to make room and move the furniture in our room somewhere else. For a while every day that Dan came home from work something was in a new place.

Pictures of our bedroom in complete chaos.

On top of moving around heavy pieces of furniture I decided to paint walls, change cabinet hardware, organize cabinets and drawers, hang curtains, pictures and lights, install hooks and put up shelves. Although the house was in complete chaos for a couple of days, it is looking quite nice now. I think I am happy with the current status although I may change my mind at any moment.

So I have been neglecting the boys, housework, crafting and blogging while I organize and decorate. But things have calmed down, so hopefully I will start blogging again. This weekend Tutu and Papa came down to celebrate Daniel's 4th birthday, which was quite an experience. Once I catch my breath I will definitely let you in on all the excitement of the Spiderman birthday party and Sammy's Costco cake moment.

Well, I think there is a drawer somewhere that needs reorganizing.
