I had been thinking about having the girls share a room for a while so that we could have a school or play room. Lincoln & Coralee had frequently been asking to sleep together at night so I wondered if he might feel left out if we had the girls together. After Christmas, Ken mentioned that if we had them all in the same room, I could have both a play room & a school room. Thankfully the transition has been pretty good. If anything, it consolidates the locations of the troublemakers (the L's). We also dropped naps which seems to be helping the bed time battles we were having previously. Our house has been in a little bit of chaos since moving the kids' stuff around but we're slowly getting things back together & in order. It doesn't help that our Saturdays have been dominated by soccer & basketball games (woohoo for only 2 more weeks of that). Yesterday we finally got the curtains up and I found sheets at Target. In my mind, we were going to do a gender neutral room with lime green & yellow accents. The only fabric for curtains that the kids would agree to was western. We've been there, done that & had a bunch of accessories so it was a fairly cheap thing to do. We still have some accessories to add and we need to tackle their closet but it felt good to have things on the wall & beds made. I plan on making a quilt for big girl who is now in little man's bunk bed. He's sleeping in her bed (think he's heard too much about having a seizure & falling off the top of the bunk) & poor baby girl is on a crib mattress on the floor. One day we'll make a platform for her mattress.
