The New Room is Complete!

At the beginning of the year we started the process of room rearranging to get ready for Hugo t come home. He will not be home for a while but since many things are not in our control, we decided to work on something that was. We painted the exercise room and moved Rob's office down to the main floor. We then began turning the old office into Adriana's new room. We let her be a big part of the process. Picking out paint, helping paint, picking out furniture and decor. Truly it was a lot of fun.

She moved into her new room in the middle of January but we finally got the last picture we ordered on backorder tonight. So I feel that now it is complete. I am not sure if it is Adriana's dream room, but it definitely is mine. ;)

We are taking a break but soon will start turning Adriana's old room into Hugo's. Rob is sick of painting so I am giving him a little break.

So a couple weeks ago we got our first big snow that canceled school. It is really the first big snow of this year and the first time this season we could actually get Adriana out to enjoy it. I am pretty sure she gets a little of my distaste for being cold and I am not a lover of cold, wet, snow type activities. I am working on it so she will too, but she is a lot like me in too many ways.

We got her bundled up and headed out. She was really excited to make a snow tunnel. Her and Rob worked on that and we also talked her into trying to sled in our front yard. It doesn't make a big hill, but since the sled incident of 2011, we just wanted to get her to try. (we took her sledding last year and she freaked and refused to even sit on sled. We came home about 10 min after we left. No sledding occurred but a lot of crying and screaming did, it was traumatic for all of us). She actually got on the sled and really enjoyed the ride. So there is hope!

Later that day Rob and Adriana worked on a snowman. He was short, had a strawberry nose that fell off and was replaced with a carrot and edamame mouth. His name was Steve. He was awesome.
