Day Out with Thomas...

On Memorial Day, we took the kids up to Heber to ride Thomas the Train. They were so excited, especially Sam. He is our train loving boy. He can spend hours building tracks and driving his trains. There were several little activities that the kids could do, build with Legos, listen to a story, check out all the train stuff in the gift shop. There was also a family band and Max is our dancer. He can get down and boogey! We walked out of the gift shop, he heard the music and started to shimmey! I couldn't get the camera out fast enough to really catch him in the act, but here's what I did get.

Still in the Middle of May...

Once we had Max in the boy room, it was time to start working on the girl room. She was so excited to have a fancy girl room. When we were in California in February, she saw a canopy at Ikea that she had to have. She kept talking about it. So shopping we went. We picked up the canopy and looked around to see what else we could find. Dangerous place, that is. We found a few things, namely a chair. I wanted her to have a comfy chair that she could sit in and read. Everything is smaller scale there, so it was the perfect size for a bedroom. We found a slip cover that matched perfectly. I had found some flowy dark pink curtains at Wal-mart and some polka dots for the wall at Target. All in all I think it came together quite nicely. She loves it and that's want matters most.

Some Time in the Middle of May....

We decided that it was time for Max to make the big switch to a big boy bed. Not that he was too big for the crib, that could take years, or that he was climbing out (never had one of those). It was just time for a girl room and a boy room, so he got the boot. The crib came down- that was a little weird. It had been up for 6 years. It came down and he moved into Sam's bed. I moved the changing table into the boy room, at the end of what had been Evelyn's bed. Wanting to avoid another tube of something being emptied on their bedroom carpet, I moved Sam into her bed. It would have been too tempting for Max to have access to things on the changing table. I pulled the guardrail out of the closet that has been swallowed by all things baby and away we went. He's done great. Our kids have never had a hard time transitioning to a big bed. They also never get out of their beds at this age. (I know, convenient.) He can climb into it, but doesn't seem to realize that he can get out of it too.

They've all been that way...

Very Behind....

I realize that I am very behind in my posts... so I am going to try and do a little catch up. Bear with me...
