Bird's Room -- week two

Avabird's room is now shaping up. You can see how it went from a big den to a bedroom. Brant, ever the handy man, framed up and wired everything last week. Fishing wires is so tricky and time consuming. The kids were having a hard time understanding all the work Dad was putting in and yet no real change was being made. Change was occuring, but wiring doesn't really "show". As soon as the drywall went up, the whole thing started to come together for them.


A cool aspect of Ava's new room, is that it created a hall space that wasn't there previously. This new space will be home to some built in shelves. Shelves are always most welcome in my mind. All of the books, board games, and scrapbooks will be so at home in this space. I am more excited about my shelves than Ava is about her room.

Claire has been home with strep for two days this week. Today doesn't really count as a sick day. It was the day where her antibiotics had made her feel great, but that she was still contagious. The one day of great weather, had to be spent inside. It really would be "bad mommy" to send your sick kid out while the others were at school. But once school was out we headed out to enjoy this one glimmering 55 degree day before winter smacks us back inside for a few more weeks (darn that groundhog!).

I can't wait to see Ava's room all finished. You always do the best job decorating without spending 400 billion dollars.
