It started with the Laundry room. My laundry room is small and the little shelf that keeps all the soaps and such was just piled with stuff and part of the shelf was coming apart (after repeated attempts to hammer it back together) So I decided I couldn't take the laundry room clutter anymore and I had Jeremiah drill some screws in the shelf so that it would stop coming apart. After that was done I made it all tidy and put things in there spot....but that was not all...no that was not all...
After I finished in the laundry room I realized there were tons of pictures that just needed to be put up in the worst way. I mean we've lived here for a month shouldn't we have some pictures up yet?! So I went "happy hammering" around the house...I put up the family picture, and decorated the fireplace with pictures, and hung the wedding picture, and hung pictures in the playroom and in the girls room...but that was not all...no that was not all...
I decided that the pictures in the play room were lacking a certain...something...I purchased these rub-on transfers from a catalog a couple months ago and hadn't used it. I had painted the red board during a relief soceity project gone wrong but realized it could actually be salvaged. So I decided to start a crafty project at 11:30 last night....but that was not all...no that was not all...
After I hung the new little sign (which reads..Live Well, Laugh Often, Love much)I realized there was still space to hang more stuff!! By this time the family had obviously given up on me and everyone was asleep. I proceeded to hang some cute little word frames up as well (sans pictures...but I'll fill those in later)So by then its way past midnight but I still couldn't sleep...so obviously that was not all...no that was not all...
Well...I couldn't have such a cute little playroom with such a huge mess...so I took all the books off the bookshelf and put them back neatly....I put all the toys away (every last barbie shoe and dinosaur) I placed everything in its place and thought...that looks great I'm done...but that was not all...no that was not all...
The computer in the playroom has been sitting on the desk, cables everywhere and not hooked up so I decided to become a "Techie" and hook it all up. Yay! We now have a working computer in for the kids...but you guessed it...that was not all...no that was not all....
I creeped into the girls room and put away all the loose play kitchen food (and believe me Elise has MILLIONS of play food pieces) Then I creeped in Brinton's room and picked up all his rescue heroes. I thought I would go into my room and straighten the bathroom but I caught a glimpse of the clock and it said 2:26am!!!! So I tried to lay down but I was tossing and turning so much. I went back in the play room and watched some special about celebrities in rehab on E! and finally started to feel tired at around 3am. The last I looked at the clock as I crept into bed before I drifted off to sleep it was 3:06am!
I woke up at 7:30 this morning...a little tired but so proud of all of the wonderful little projects I did last night!! :)

YAY! I love it! But we are way worse off than you are. I have some pictures hung on my walls (really need to buy more and print more up)but not a lot. And we have lived here nearly two years. We are slowly painting the walls so I have been waiting on that too. Congrats on all you got done! That is so awesome. oh yeah and I LOVE that fireplace set up. cute!

Oh my gosh, you're crazy!! But I'm so impressed. I (and my house) need a sleepless night like that! Good work, though. Everything looks so cute! And I love the new blog layout :)
That's sp funny, I did that the other day, and thought to myself, I must be the only woman crazy to be up this late! I am glad to see I am not the onyl one.
Good luck on the baby making, we've been at it a year now and it is not happening either!!! I am getting to old for this!!!
