The new improved BOYS ROOM!!!!


Hello friends,

We just finished "remodeling" the boys room! Sarah is really excited to have finally been able to do this. We want to thank all of you that gave either cash or Walmart giftcards at Sarah´s babyshower while in Greenville (and even some friends from New Zealand that gave) because we changed the Walmart giftcards into cash and then brought all the money down to south Mexico with us and were able to do a whole lot to the room. The only major thing that we need to do now is get a bunk bed made...but that will be later next year!

We also want to thank several others that gave generous gifts to us a few months ago as we put a good bit of the money towards this project as well.

Check out the pics below...


Before pics of the room...









Here we are putting down interlocking colorful foam flooring...this makes the room much more comfortable for daddy when playing horsey or wrestling around...also makes it much warmer in the colder months; like right now!












Took down the sheets and put up actual curtains...





Got rid of the large plastic tubs and got some neat looking trays for the toys!



These two pics show how Joshua used to get ready to go to bed in his "old room" about a year ago (Caleb was still sleeping in the crib)...it gets really cold during November thru February so we were using an ironing board and some chairs to hold the blankets up...it was his own special tent!




 

So we decided to keep the tent idea but just make it much nicer and more roomy since both the older boys will be sharing the bed...here we are installing a wooden box frame around Joshua and Caleb´s mattress...

I´ve got such great helpers....

 










One of my helpers isn´t quite as excited as the other two...now who would that be!?!?!?!












And just imagine a nice looking bunk bed sitting right here....the boys can´t wait...




So this is how the room looks now going from the doorway around the room to the left....much improved don´t you think? We just picked up the three dressers (or drawers) last week and finally got them put up where we wanted them a few days ago...no more digging through the closet to find what each boy needs...Daddy thinks this is the best improvement of all!








The boys saying hello and THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!






Again, we want to thank all of you who made this possible.

We love our Crosspoint family as well; you have been soooooo good to us!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, 

Lance, Sarah, Joshua, Caleb and Andrew
