Decorating A Temporary Residence



There are a lot of things that I do not like about our temporary living situation (especially during the winter, because the fun of having a pool is no longer an option). 
However, there are a few perks:
-Decorating is easy, just stick up anything you want, anywhere you want.
-It isn't our house, so it doesn't matter how messy it gets or if anything is damaged*
* Which means...We know it is temporary, so pretty much anything goes.



I don't know if it is normal or not, but the kids do not really play with toys very much.  They spend most of their time drawing, writing, and making crafts.  They could do something crafty all day long, if they had enough supplies.  This is great, but also messy.  (Again, a positive thing about apartment living, because - who cares if paint is on the carpet or tape is peeling off the paint on the wall?!)  This could drive me a little crazy in a new house though, so maybe I should start steering their creativity into lego building or something more clean?

Sharing

Just thought I'd post this one for documentation's sake.  They actually still kind of enjoy sharing a room right now...to the point where they want to share a bed sometimes. (Not all the time. They still have separate beds - we aren't that crazy.)  I'm also not sure how much longer they can stand being in the same room.  So far so good and hopefully only a couple months to go.
Anyway, since they still like each other for the most part, I figured I should post proof, because I seem to remember not getting along with Joel once we got a little older than the age they are now.  (This is Janet speaking...David can speak for himself, on his sibling relationships during the elementary years.)
