Operation New Room

The room remodel is in full swing! I painted on Saturday. Boring old white. The hubby and I took down the sliding closet doors and we are making a small "study area/ toy storage area" there. I bought 5 hockey sticks today. I am hoping to be crafty enough to figure out how to use them to make curtain rods and a lamp... If it doesn't go well, at least BB will have lots of hockey sticks to play with! His bed also came in today! He was super excited all day about sleeping on the top bunk. When bedtime rolled around, he was pretty scared to stay up there, but he laid down and wend to sleep really quickly! I think I love the new bed already! GB insisted on sleeping on the bottom bunk. She's "having a sleepover in BB's room!" She is also super excited about the bed. This is the bed. It's a picture from another website, so picture it without all the stuffed animals and crazy futon cover, and add a black futon cover. I'm actually kinda jealous... I would've loved this bed when I was young.I'll keep you updated as things get done! It all MUST be finished before BB's birthday in April because there will be a ton of people here.

BB's getting a new room!

BB thinks that he is too old for his race car bed and cars room. He'll be five next month. I thought we had at least another year or two before this happened! Anyway, we are getting rid of his race car bed and he is getting bunk beds. He will have a futon on the bottom that opens out into a full size bed. Of course he doesn't need anything that elaborate, but he's very spoiled that way! He chose to decorate his room with the local sports teams paraphernalia. That's good for me. We have tons of that! His room is totally wrecked right now! I took down the nascar border tonight. It came down very easily, so I was happy about that. But, while doing that, I had to move all of the furniture and toys. Lucky for me, he is staying at his Grandma and Pap's house tonight! Guess I'll be in there tomorrow trying to clean it up enough for him to sleep in there!

GB has taken to sleeping on her floor... She has a very nice and comfy daybed, but likes the floor better. Go figure. As long as she is sleeping, I don't care where she sleeps! Now, if I could just find a way to get BB to sleep...

Yes, I'm alive!

Wow! It's been forever since I posted! I'm not even sure why I haven't posted. My life has not been THAT crazy!

Anyway, last week we had parent/ teacher conference with bb's preschool teacher. I was kind of nervous going in because the boy has so much attitude with us and I wasn't sure how much of that he took to school with him. Turns out, he takes none!! I guess he saves it all for me... Anyway, they said he shares well, always contributes to conversations and lessons (and what he says is relevant!), is doing well learning his letter sounds, and is the only child in the class who writes first and last name. They are only going to start working on last names this month!

We took bb to Chuck E. Cheese for his friend's birthday party on Saturday. BB's girlfriend's mom asked how our conference went and the hubby told her it went well. He didn't say too much because he didn't want to seem like he was bragging. Good thing he didn't! C's mom said that her conference didn't go well... The teacher told her that C is bossy and mean to the other kids. Yeah, we already knew that... bb has been coming home pretty upset because C doesn't like him anymore or doesn't want to play with him. For a while, I was sad that they would go to different kindergartens next year. Now I'm ok with that. If we can just make it until the end of May, I'll be happy.

GB's dance teacher made the mistake of showing the girls the recital costume. It looks like a Cinderella dress except short because it's a tutu not a dress. They will be dancing to a Disney princess song. We got to watch them last week. If you've never seen a group of three year olds do ballet, I reccomend it! Totally cute! Everyday since she saw the costume, gb has asked me if the recital is today. OH MY GOODNESS! How will I make it until May 31st?!?! It will only get worse though. They get to wear the costume in March for pictures...
