Nesting

We have three boys and are expecting our first girl. We have also been in our house for over 8 years and have painted only one room. Apparently the nesting instinct is much stronger with female babies. In the prior two months we have painted 3 rooms in our house. Daniel's (2) room was like this




was transformed to this


The colors for this room and the new babies were choosen with the assistance of my wife's sister. The colors should last a long time. We have just added "Cars" decals that Daniel recieved for his second birthday. The new babies room (name a secret at this time) went from


to this

I wasn't sure how this would turn out but the two shades of pink work well togeter. While I was painting I kept saying to myself that if the doctor determined the gender incorrectly, she would have to help repaint the room blue. I don't think the doctor will agree to this!

I have also painted the children's bathroom. I am replacing the towel rod with a set of pegs that will allow all the children to hang their towels.
