Jackson & Davis’ Room

I know I said a long time ago I would post pictures of the boy’s room but we just finished up a few things. After Christmas Abby helped me pull her stuff out of the closet and move it to her new room. She also helped with cleaning the baseboards and was actually a big help.

I’ve come to realize in the past few years that interior decorating is not my gift and it frustrates me to no end when I try to do it – so thank you to the few of you who helped and gave ideas of what to do. It’s also difficult when you are trying to fit 2 cribs in a small space along with a changing table, rocking chair and dresser…but we managed to fit it all. I now know who my decorating resources are if/when we ever buy a larger house. Dustin did all the painting with no help from me. This was a good thing being that I have a bad track record with spilling, splattering, smearing and spraying paint in my own face…again I know this is my weakness and have left this job up to him. I think he did a great job and I’m really liking that I get to pick out the colors and he does all the work haha. Well actually he helped choose the color and has taken more of an active role in the decorating decision-making since it’s the boys room. It must be a man thing since he let me do whatever I wanted when it came to Abby’s room and never cared before.

When I found out I was pregnant with Abby we bought her a piggy bank and started her a savings account with our loose change. Let’s just say the kid is a saver because she has accumulated a good chunk in the last year and a half (thanks mostly to Auntie Chris who sends her $1 every time she sends a letter or package in the mail). So we decided to get banks for the boys to teach all 3 kids how important saving is. Our good friend Andrea painted the boy’s names on the dog banks and did an amazing job – all I did was print out the font I wanted and she replicated them exactly. They turned out so cute!!!
