Basement overhaul

This week we decided to put up the shuffleboard table on Craig's list. We knew we had underpriced it when, in the first few hours, we received no less than 10 responses and not one wanted to negotiate price. I really loved it - or at least the idea of it. We haven't played it at all since Emily was born so it was time to get it out and free up some space in the basement.

If you've been to our house you know Emily is not short in the toy dept. and I wanted to get some of those toys out of (immediate) sight. So on Saturday morning we took a family trip to IKEA to shop for our would-be playroom! We had ideas already but as it goes, we ended up with more than planned and after a lunch of Swedish meatballs we finally ended up leaving about an hour and a half later with a FULL car!  While Emily was in her IKEA coma (aka nap) Patrick got to work! After a couple of hours, we had a new room all ready for playing!

We still have some more work to do but the bones are in and I am happy to start moving toys downstairs!
