Switcheroo




If you've never seen the inside of my house, then the above pictures won't mean much. If you have been here, you'll (hopefully) see that we've made some major changes recently. In preparation for splitting up the twins into two cribs, we came to the realization that S's room might accommodate three boys better than the current boys' room would. So, over the holidays, my brother-in-law and my husband switched beds and furniture for both rooms. My bro-in-law also assembled both cribs (our crib and a borrowed one from wonderful neighbors). And then I followed with decor, closet stuff, and misc. items. (Almost all of the quilts on the walls were made by my very talented mother.)

It was a lot of work but we're hoping it will be the best scenario in the long run. The older kids were really excited to make the change. S said it was the best day of her life, and H said sleeping in his new bed felt really good. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was the same bed as before...

so the babies are officially with siblings now? Wow! How exciting to get your room back. You'll have to let me know how that goes for you. I must admit that when I first looked at the pix, I just thought you'd taken them at a very weird angle, not that you'd changed rooms. But then, I am somewhat spatially challenged . . .

Very cool. Exciting to have your room back! Of course, hopefully the boys (mostly T cause he's a little insane) won't see how A2 likes to hang upside down or some other bizarre brother activity. That's what I'd worry about. :)

So....how is it actually going?? Are the babies sleeping ...are the older kids sleeping through any babies crying? If all is going well then you all have pulled off a miracle!!! Nice job!! It all looks great!

I am impressed that you have the babies in with older siblings. Luke slept in the hall and then the kitchen when we lived in a 2 bedroom.
