Redecorating-Part 1

So, as sad as I am to change up Matthew's room, we are redecorating it so it will be good for both Matthew and the baby. Matthew is excited to have his room redone and wanted to help out however he could.

Here are some 'before' pictures. Matthew had fun running around his room saying "before" while I was taking the pictures.



While Nana painted (which we appreciate so much-she is doing all of the work and it is turning out beautifully!) Matthew spent the afternoon playing. Of course he had to play trains with Papa-he loved having someone different to build tracks with him.


He desperately wanted to help Nana paint, but settled with peeking in on her every now and then. Here he is pointing to the colors of the room.

Our room is a complete disaster with all of his stuff in it, which he and I had fun playing with throughout the day. He informed me that he wants to keep all of his toys in our room from now on-yeah right!

Nana painted the afternoon away. It's hard to tell in this picture, but the ceiling is a really pretty light blue.

Matthew and I read a ton of books on our bed-which he gets to sleep in tonight due to the fact that his room is torn up-needless to say, he is super psyched about that :)
He always loves to color with me, even though I have absolutely no talent whatsoever :)
As Nana was finishing up for the day, he played cars with Papa and Daddy. He is so overtired right now from his busy day of running all around the house keeping tabs on what everyone was doing. I'll be posting 'after' pictures as soon as the room is done :)

Sounds like a fun house painting party. I hope you saved some of the chicken dip for the Valencias.

Oh, we all ate it, but Matt and I definitely ate the majority of it :)
