The Gardner's

Last week I posted that we were painting Caleb's new room. Well, of course he couldn't miss out on the action. He is a good little painter however when he took his clothes off that night he had painted quite a bit of himself too.

In addition to painting his room we also had to do his homework. He was very proud of it so of course I had to take a photo. Since he made his gingerbread house out of candy he now wants to decorate the walls of his room with candy. We are still as of last night in discussions about that.


This weekend was full of family and we had a great time. Preston spent to night with us on Friday night and he did great. Kristie, the boys and I all went shopping the next day but before they left to go back home, they played in the leaves. Aren't they a cute family.

Later that day we had celebrated Turkey day with the Barfield family. The food was awesome as usual! Caleb and Emma turned Noni/Grandma and PaPa's room into a movie theater, or at least that is what it looked like at the end of the night based on the amount of popcorn i vacuumed up off the floor. If you didn't already know this Caleb could live on popcorn and movies so they asked for refills of their bowl quite often while watching Charlotte's Web. By the end of the night Caleb and Ben were running/crawling laps. It was a lot of fun! Sunday I was able to get Caleb's closet in his current room cleared out. His stuff was moved to his new room and my stuff was moved downstairs. I also moved his bookshelf and books so all that is left to go into this new room would be his dresser and toy box. We tried to put together his new bed last night however we couldn't quite figure it out. Since it is a hamby down bed we have to get a hold of the previous owners for some assistance. Caleb on the other hand did not care that it was not together. He slept on the mattress on the floor that was wedged between the frame. It didn't look too bad since I essentially had to make the bed, but it made him happy. We hope to have it put together by the end of the week and all of the stuff from his old room moved into the new one. We picked the color for the babies room so we will plan to have that painted before the weekend is over as well. In the meantime we are very much so looking forward to the Kopsky Turkey day in Columbia MO on Thursday. Here is a photo of Caleb painting the babies room tonight. He is painting with tinted primer.
