There Gonna Be Some Changes In Here: Part I

"There gonna be some some changes in here!" is a popular phrase lately for some reason.

Notice anything different?

– There gonna be some changes in here everyone!

Yep. There gonna be some BIG changes in here.

We're in the midst of redoing the boys' room from stem to stern for a myriad of reasons – the bulk of which were unexpectedly urgent ones. The room needs to remain a livable space at all times so the plan consists of 3 phases.

The first phase involved getting rid of everything superfluous:

– So... it look like there gonna be some changes in here everyone.
– Big ones even.
– I pretend I cannot hear you ask why.
– I knows why, but I rather not say.
– Also I does my best to look endearing right now so you not judge too harshly.
– I still not talking.

– Of course 'dis whole plan probably blow up in Mommy's face 6 months from
now like the last time she carefully plan out a very safe room for us.
– Well... at least if 'dis look has anything to say about it.

Unfortunately my boys are probably right – they have a knack for finding the weakness in any plan. But really, this time we are locking it down tighter than Fort Knox.

*The grime on the walls behind the cribs was not one of the reasons, but if I'd had a clear understanding of the advanced stages of said grime, it might have been. Gross!

  1. Hullo to the two stinkly-winks from Gamma Rita. So nice to hear you two having such lengthy conversations, particularly about such important matters as chicken nuggets vs. cheeseburgers. Hope you enjoy whatever Friday dishes up for you (and MacDonalds, of course)! Lots of love, Gamma Rita
