sometimes i just want to scream!!

so this past week frank and i have been busting our butts to get the twins new room painted because we had carpet put in yesterday...the room looks amazing (we still need baseboards and we would prefer white dressers...but anyway) we have yet to move the cribs in there because obviously no one can be sleeping in it when we move it and we have a hard time getting things completed when the babies are awake...its a vicious cycle i know...

we were fortunate enough to obtain a crib from franks brothers friend...they were beyond generous in giving it to us shortly after we found out we were having not one baby, but two... i spent this last week putting a fresh coat of white paint on it, which wasnt the easiest painting task of my life...but it looked brand new when i was done!! and wouldnt u know, while i was attempting to put it together tonight, it broke...a plastic piece broke right off and some of the wood is cracked too...im pretty sure its as good as garbage now, ill have my dad take a look at it, but i dont have a good feeling about it! i am more than grateful that it happened during the "putting together" process and not the "shh..baby is sleeping" process...but still! so now i am once again on the hunt for a second crib, know anyone looking to get rid of one?? i would prefer it to already be white, but at this point i would never say no to anything...as long as it is safe for my baby!!
fortunately it is garage sale season and i pray that i come across a good deal fairly early...we are getting desperate...the pack and play isnt really cutting it for all nighters anymore. i will also check out the local consignment shops that i deal with, so say a little prayer that i find something, quick!! and let me know if u get any leads on a good deal...

we also plan on getting white dressers and we will eventually hang a few things on the walls but first things first, the kids need to sleep in there!! the two big emtpy spots in the 2nd pic and the last pic are where the cribs will most likely go...and we need to get new closet doors and hang the bedroom door back up...but there were many requests for some pics so i thought i would just send what i could!! hope u like it as much as we are!!
