Bedroom Finished.

Here are some pictures of the finished bedroom. I know this post is pretty boring, but some people wanted to see inside my house. And who knows how long I can keep it this clean for. So this is for all you people who have never been to my house.





Im just waiting to get my carpets cleaned, and then I will show pictures of the rest of the rooms.

Look at me go!

I dont really have any newish pictures of Brooklynn to share, as they are all posted on my facebook already. But you can rest assured, she is cuter than ever.

Updates:
-Rolls around like crazy without any problem. Front to back, back to front, and again..and again...and again
-Gets really frustrated that she cant crawl yet.
-Reaches for things like crazy
-Can take her soother out, put it back in, pull it out, put it in...etc etc etc
-Holds her own bottle all the time
-Been eating solids for about a month: apple sauce, pears, cereal, sweet potatoes, squash...tutti frutti, icecream, Rice Rusks, a little taste of this, a little taste of that. "That looks good, can I have some?"
-Size 6mon clothes, for the length, that absolutely drowned her because she is so petite (Her 3mon old cousin has passed her I think, and they were the same size at birth). Her jeggings arent even really jeggings because she is so scrawny. Just like mommy.
-Loves her toes
-Loves Maverick, even if the feeling is not mutual
-Not too sure about the jolly jumper. Likes the excersaucer.
-Loves frozen yogurt
-Loves mommy and daddy
-Hates Grandpas whisker kisses lol.

Ben has been going crazy in the yard trying to make it look nice. Planting trees, watering grass like crazy, trimming this, moving that. I love spring! I look out the window and everything is so green! It helps too that my in-laws have a beautiful yard, and our lot is surrounded by poplars. Its beautiful!

While Ben has been going crazy outside, I have been trying to keep up inside. Somehow, the house can get messy in just one day. I guess Ben is just trying to prepare me for the 8 kids he thinks we are having. Spick and span one minute, and then as soon as he gets home...Bang! messy again. Oh well, it gives me something to do while Brooklynn is napping. So I have the entire upstairs cleaned and organized. I work on the kitchen and living room everyday so that it doesnt get out of control. Unlike our bedroom, which was totally out of control, destruction zone. But I tackled that as well, and it looks fantastic. I love it!!! Except when ben drops his clothes on the floor as soon as he gets home....then I beat him with whatever he dropped lol :) Maybe then he will learn. Just waiting for him to drop something hard or heavy lol. JK! I even cleaned and organized our spare room upstairs, which I refer to as the catch-all room, because it is like that one drawer in the house that is the junk drawer, except our drawer is an entire room. So imagine all the junk that gets thrown in there.

I just have to decide if I am going to make the spare room into an office to do cow paperwork. I was going to, but then I remembered that when we have another baby, Brooklynn will be moved to that room, and the new baby will be in the nursery. Dont worry, Im not pregnant again yet, for all those who are like "whoa whoa whoa, what?" Im just thinking into the future. I dont want to have to haul the office desk upstairs, only to have to haul it back downstairs next year. So for now, I think it will just stay empty...and hopefully not catch any more junk.

I have also all of a sudden taken an interest in decorating! I think Pinterest may be to blame, cause there are always cool things on there. But I also just want to make my house look how I want, and until now, I havent really been interested in doing decorating. I bought new curtains for my bedroom, just to lighten the room up a bit because it is dark red, and used to have dark gold curtains. And I put a new douvet on that my parents got us for christmas. The only thing left to do is to put up the wall display above the head of the bed, since we dont have a headboard. I found this on Pinterest, and I made it today. Along with it will be various sized circular mirrors that came with the original mirror. Once that is done, my room will look exactly how I want it to. Then I can move on to the next room, the livingroom. I also want to get new curtains for that too, because it is the exact opposite of my bedroom, gold walls with red curtains. Im thinking cream curtains, just to brighten it up.


I also found this really cute spring wreath on Pinterest. Dont mind the spelling mistake on the sign, it was a face palm moment, and it has been fixed, I just didnt take a new picture. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?


Thats all for now. Im going to post pictures of my house once I have it all how I want it. Seeing as not very many people have actually seen inside my house. Grand Tour to come :)
