Switch up!

Last weekend, Josh came home early on Friday and said, "Let's go buy bunk beds and switch and re-paint the kids rooms this weekend!"  I was a little shocked, and not nearly ready enough for this large of a project, but it is working out just fine.  Here are some of the before pictures.  It was a weekend of chaos.  I had also started carpet cleaning too, so each room was methodically emptied, taped, painted, then carpet cleaned.  :)

Boy's room ready for paint!
 Our poor loft completely stuffed with furniture.  

 Boys' old room one coat painted.
 My room also stuffed with everyone else's junk!
 The playroom - where the boys slept the Friday night since their room was still wet paint and wet carpet.
 The Girls' room emptied and ready for paint!
 Saturday night - all the kids in the emptied play room.  
Stay tuned for the finished products!  

Also - In my insanity this week, I decided that switching rooms, beds and paint wasn't enough for the twins, so we also took away their binkies!  WAHOO!!!  It was just one of those things that had to happen before they turned 3!  So it's done!  It was rougher on Sophie than on Jace, which surprised me.  We are still working on naps, which have become a fight with Sophie, so we'll see how long that lasts.  :(  End of naps is always a sad time for me.

That sounds like quite an undertaking. Why did you want to switch the kiddos rooms? I hope to see after pictures once you're all finished.
