Woytowich Family: August 2009

Kids Room Makeover!

Well the kiddies and I decided that we should redo their room from dull to Awesome!! We had to come up with a theme that all the kids love and colors that were gender friendly. This was also gonna be a surprise for Autumn since she was in PA with my family for the summer! Well the kiddies decided on a jungle theme..... they all love monkeys and animals!! Owen has the awesome Fisher Price Rain forest set and we decided on colors for the room from his blanket! So we headed over to Home Depot and got them to match one of the colors for us! At first when i seen it, I thought, oh wow this is really cool!! But when I started on the wall with the pain i was a little worried. It was really bright!

The next day when the room was painted and dry, I started Painting Vines and Monkeys on the wall! They turned out nice! Owen loves them, every time he walks by the room he points and makes a monkey noise! Then it was time for the curtains. The kids originally had race car curtains up that I had made for the boys room in our old house in PA. So there was no way that i was putting them up with the monkey theme! So I came up with a tree like looking curtain! I made brown panels, to give the illusion of a tree trunk. Then I got some green felt and made leaves for the top valence! Once they were all sewed together I was very happy!! I have to ammit I was very Impressed, They turned out soooo great!

The monkeys on vines! I did i good job!

The curtains with the leaves! That I made by hand!

Once that was all said and done. It was time to work on the bunk beds. We have been searching and searching for a bunk bed that would fit in a room that was not an average sized room. All the bunk beds we had looked at have been 3 inches or more to long to fit the way we needed it too! So Drew and I decided to make our own! What a task! We measured out the space where we wanted it and then back to Home Depot!! We got all the wood we need and started that night on it! We ran into a few little snags but it all turned out great!! The kids love it and we are all so happy!! The room in total took us 4 days from beginning to end! But it was well worth it!

We are all pleased how it turned out and cant wait to start on the rest of the house!!

Ethan's Summer Kindergarten Visit!

Ethan had a wonderful chance to experience a little bit of kindergarten this summer for a few day! When I told him he would be going, he was a little scared and did not want to go! So the day before his big day, Mommy took him shopping for his very first school bag! He was starting to get a little bit excited by that point, because he could wait to use his new school bag!! Ethan and I got up early and headed off to the school! Once in the school and the class room he seemed to be ok....knowing there where lots of toys to play with...lol!! I waited around in the room for about an hour and watched him to make sure he would do ok. Then I slipped out!

When it came to 12 noon I picked him up and he was soooo happy and could not wait for the next day of school! The summer experience has made him realize that school was not bad at all! He did great and cannot wait till his first official day of Kindergarten!

Our New Sofa!!

Ahhhhh.....our new comfy sofa finally arrived and what a relief when it did!! We ordered the sofa and recliner and waiting 2 months for them to arrive! The sofa its self has 2 recliners on each end and then we have the recliner all by its self! Drew is soooo happy to finally not have to sit on a broken recliner anymore! I can say I am truly happy!!
