To make room for the much anticipated arrival of Flopsy, we redecorated one of the downstairs bedrooms for Mae and Adi. (Our house has two bedrooms upstairs, two downstairs, which will work great when Adi & Mae are teenagers but isn't optimal now). As I write this, Dave is reading their bedtime stories in the new room and my fingers are (figuratively-- I am typing afterall) crossed hoping neither will feel scared or lonely enough to wake us up in the middle of the night.
In order to generate enthusiasm for the move, as well as to have more time to work on the remodel, we've involved the girls in just about every step of the project.
Tearing out the carpet (and underlying linoleum):
They picked colors for the walls: Adi was the expected blue but Mae surprised us by picking yellow instead of purple:
We snapped in the cork flooring, Dave finished the trim and reinstalled the doors and finally! A finished project except the blinds... first thing in the morning :)
Time to turn out the lights... with the real reason for the girls' enthusiasm:

"That's Tinkerbell!!" said Ella right away.
Tima wants to sketch all the pictures. I've told him that after he finishes homework and homeschool, he can sketch them.
"Fancy light switch!" says Danya. "How much work did it take to do all that remodeling? And I bet it took you a lot longer to make that light switch than the whole rest of the room!"
Ella liked the 'piggies' and was also curious what the fuzzy ball-like things on the floor by Adi's bed.
Who is drink a beer ? Is it Mae or Adi ?
