bedroom - whew, then the furniture from her old room moved to the bonus area.....arrrggghhhh......House
is looking quite attractive - NOT. Then we moved Drew into a bigger room - we moved from his Curious George decor to a pottery barn sports theme - I still have to get his name hung above his crib but he has much more room now for his play area. The border is a bit higher with colors of red, navy, nautical blue and green. You can see the quilt for his soon to be toddler bed on the chair in the corner. He is connected to a bathroom so needless to say my tub is no longer toy central but I have noticed the water spreads much faster and further in this smaller tub :(. Drew took to his room great after the first night where he preferred to be in the room with mommy and daddy but he finally gets that it is his room - I think when Curious George disappeared he moved on...Now for room #2 (or #3 if you count Laura's move)......Baby Elizabeth Anne Rardin's room - yes, we have finally picked the name and are very excited - we will not have a nickname for Elizabeth 
except maybe "E" and any cutsie items we come up with but really want to call her by her full 
name Elizabeth. Elizabeth is my middle name, Beth is my mom's middle name and Anne is John's mom's middle name so we have opted to stay more traditional with her name as well. We have decorated in chocolate and pink with some bright pink/blue/green accents as a border. We are still waiting on her furniture - an off white crib that grows with her to a full/double as she gets older and a full dresser similar to Drew's but more girly :). As you can see by her closet picture - she needs nothing - between Laura and I's shopping spree when we found out it was a girl (hey, Carter's wa
s having a sale), the neutral stuff of Drew's she can wear and the hand me downs - we are all set - we have everything washed and ready to go. We are waiting on a few more letters to come in at Hobby Lobby so we can get her name painted chocolate and next to the flower on the wall above where her crib will go. Glad to have this all ready and next month Laura is moving to her own apartment - she is excited to 'get away' occasionally and have her own oasis so we will get her settled soon and then get the last guest room back to guest status.
