Home changes..

So, I'm not a last minute person, but I'm not an over-achiever and have things done months before the arrival date.  I guess I do get a little energized by a deadline, unfortunately.

We are making Chris' study into the girls room.  I know it is sad for Chris to lose his study but we are making our bedroom, which is large, into a bedroom/study and we're decorating with bookshelves.  I love book; I just don't like dusting!  But, it will be good, we just have to be creative and get the right furniture.

IKEA has the answer to our problems, I think.  I'm going to first get our room converted to a study, move everything over.  We're also getting off-site storage, then we plan on having a big garage sale and sell the furniture that isn't working for us, and needed to have a sale for years now.  I have so much stuff to do!

Need to paint the girls room (was thinking of a buttercream yellow).  And for Anton's room, maybe take some of the baby stuff out.  He still has Beatrix Potter pictures, but he doesn't complain.  If I ask him how he wants to decorate it changes everyday (spiders, and Paris are the themes he likes, but for sure he wants to paint the walls blue...and I was thinking a dusty blue with a little hint of lavender in it)

I'm also trying a new homeschool curriculum called K12. It seems like it will work great for us, in that it will help me administer and do the lesson plans.  Why not have help?  I should be starting that this week.  I'll blog about that on another post.
