Happy St.Patrick's Day

I didn't do much this weekend but spend lots of money!! We bought our insulation for the basement on Saturday morning ~ 20 bags!! And we decided that we should buy our crib and change table, since it was on sale at Toys R Us. The in laws agreed that they were going to buy the crib/ mattress and hubbies Grandma gave us money for the change table, so really we spent other people's money on the weekend! ;) Here are some pics of the crib and change table/ dresser .....

There is also a hutch that you can buy for the change table but I decided that it was just extra money spent and not something we needed so we didn't get the hutch. I would rather spend that money on other things like clothes! :) I also decided on the bedding we are going to use and the paint scheme of the bedroom. I choose the cheaper bedding, it was on sale for a super price and I was able to get lots of accessories for the same price as the "Zanzibar" bedding alone! Here is a pic of the bedding .....

I also got the mobile (which hopefully hubby will be able to attach to the back of the crib), a bedside lamp, a valence for the window and a extra fleecy blanket. I would like to paint the bottom of the room in THIS color (a deep red/ maroon) and the top part of the room THIS color (kind of a beige/ brown) with a chair rail dividing the two colors. I also want to put up a few shelves for pics and stuffies but was unsure if we should match the chair rail and shelves to the crib (which is pretty dark wood ~ cherry) or go with white?! Hubby thinks we should match the shelves and chair rail to the color of the flooring we will be using (probably maple). I just don't want it to look too dark with the dark maroon paint and dark cherry crib/ dresser. O - and if you spent more then $75 at Toys R Us you could buy a wiper warmer for $10!! So we picked up one of those as well, for $10 you might as well! ?

I'm glad you didn't buy the Zanzibar otherwise you would have been copying me :-) The wipes warmer is really awesome, we have one and it works great! You have to change the little absorbant pad every 3 months, but I think it't worth it.
