I have a bunch of pillows and stuffed animals in one corner of the room. They each grab their favorite blanket and curl up on each side of me. I let them each pick out one book and I pick out one. When I am done reading they crawl into bed. I want to get a lamp that is dimmer than the ceiling one so that it is darker when we are reading. I leave the books in their room so that they can "read" whenever they want to. | |

| Jun 8, 2011 at 14:06 | comment | added | Amy Patterson | @Konerak We have decided that the boys will probably share their bedroom, since it is only for sleeping anyway. At least while they are in grade school. | |
| Jun 8, 2011 at 13:53 | comment | added | Konerak | Hehe ok. We're thinking about what to put in which room, but will need a few more rooms if each kid gets a bed-only bedroom... I myself 'd rather have 1 big room (bed+desk) than 2 small rooms, but we're not there yet either! | |
| Jun 8, 2011 at 13:37 | comment | added | Amy Patterson | @Konerak So far the kids are only a year old (twins) so not yet. Our plan is that by that point we will have invested in an addition with an office/library. In it will will have desks/study space for each of us. I feel it is important that even though we have a small house each person needs their own personal space. For now though we are just working on not tripping over the mega blocks that litter our living room floor. :) | |
