A Sign of the Times

This used to be our office. Complete with a large desk where everything was neatly organized and in one place. I could sit and pay our bills and balance the check book without ever having to move.

Now it is Brianna's playroom. It is amazing how much room little kids toys take up. Since her bedroom is not very big we cannot store most of her toys in it. Plus since it is upstairs she is not in it very much except to sleep. We realized around her birthday that we were going to have to do something to accomodate all of her toys and this was the easiest/cheapest solution. We bought a bookcase and a laptop for our new "office" which is now located in our living room. It works out pretty well.
The picture below is Brianna's, oh, I mean Bobby's, beanbag chair. It used to have a manly brown upholestry cover on it. I made it for him last year for Christmas. Well, when it got moved into the playroom I decided it needed to be more colorful so I bought some more fabric and made a new cover for it. I think it turned out pretty good.

Don't worry Bobby, your cover is under the new one and I promise that one day you will get it back...although you will probably always have to share!
It's funny how having a child changes things!
