Hey, Rob - I rearranged while you were at work, so you have time to fix the toilet and sink when you get home!

I think there must be some kind of group for people who constantly rearrange their houses...if there were, I'd be in it. "Rearrangers Annonymous"

We're backtracking on the toddler beds - they do great getting into them at night (not so much for naptime), but they don't understand that they do not HAVE to get up at 6 am! So, until they learn that, we'll use a crib and a playpen - we got rid of that other crib - not enough room for that much stuff!

The original with cribs:
(Toddler beds replaced the cribs, with the one by the door way perpendicular to how the crib is now.)
How I changed it to squish in a bed, a crib, a playpen, and one toddler bed (for transitioning one twin at a time)! Seth and Carolyn transitioned at this age, and were super easy! (but then again, everything for them was super easy compared to twins...)
(The playpen's only temporary and the remaining crib will be replaced by a bed later...)

On to the den next (yes, in the same day - when I'm on a roll, I can't stop!)

I told the missionaries we rearrange about every three months. (They had been here about that long, and corrected me.) "You've changed it three times since I've been here!"  So, on August 14th I took this...
den 1
Another angle....
den 1.1
Then on September 26th I took this: (OBVIOUSLY, you can see why this did not work out - we constantly had to move the couch so we could see the tv, then put it back...)
den 2
And this is today's arrangement (October 6th). 

den 3
Two notes:
1. I say "Today's" arrangement, b/c who knows if I'll change it tomorrow! and 
2. Did you notice that I DID change once a month, and the dates are getting closer!? 
(maybe I do need therapy...haha...actually, this is therapeutic for me! It has saved me the trouble of packing up and moving to a new house every time this house feels cramped. I just rearrange and it's like I've got a whole new living room...nice, huh?) You should try it. Actually, invite me over - Can I help?? :)

It really is theraputic. I love to rearrange. It does help ease the "I need a bigger house plea", at least for a little while.

What! Why are you stealing Rob's blog?! The title gave it away, because he wouldn't address himself using third person. It would be "Hey, Me". Thief!!

It has been scientifically proven that rearranging furniture can chase away the "blues". So that's why y'all are so happy!!!!
