We had a super fun weekend but it might take me 2 or 3 days to recover from this one! It has been 24 hours now but I am not ready for real life yet 🙂 BUT our play room is coming along!! I can’t wait for it to really be done! We need to do a little more prep – then paint and carpet and BRING IN THE TOYS!!

The Door (i decided that i did not want an actual door - just open like this).

Almost ready for paint - my built in toy box in the back!
