  • Did 2 loads of laundry
  • Visited with G&G Politis
  • Did lots of dishes
  • and we some how managed to play with the kids too!  They were happy all day!
Let me just say, it was an AWESOME day!  It feels so good to be so productive.  It feels so good to spend the whole day with my family.  It feels good to be me!

The kids were so great today.  The story of the bed is kind of a long story, so I'll save that for a separate post.  But the kids LOVE it!  I'm a little worried, because it is a loft bed, but it is only 3 1/2 feet off the ground and it has good walls so that helps.  Parker keeps saying "This bed is so cool!"  "This bed has a ladder AND a slide!"  "I love my new bed!"  Em on the other hand, when she was getting ready for bed kept asking for her bed.  Now I feel kind of bad.  :(  But we didn't have all the pieces to it and she is just getting to big for it since I can't get it to go lower.  She kept getting her legs stuck between the slats, and P kept getting in there and jumping like crazy, it was time.  I didn't think she would care, I thought she would be excited about her new bed too, but she was so sad when she asked for her bed tonight.  Hopefully when we get her a new mattress and some cool sheets {probably Dora} she will be more ready and excited.  I am not quite ready to play the jack-in-the-box game when she starts sleeping in her big girl bed.  Really not looking forward to that.  For now, she wants the pack-n-play and I am totally fine with that.  

Well, it is getting late and the Easter bunny still needs to stop by.  But really, awesome day!  I just wanted to write it down and remember, so sorry it was a little boring to read.  Hope you have a very wonderful Easter tomorrow!

When we transitioned Emi and Nate inot the same bedroom with bunk beds I talked about it for weeks before. Mostly because I was terrified it would be a battle. But it was a breeze! I think all the talking about it helped with the transition. It sure went a lot smoother than Nate's transition to a big boy bed a few years back.
Whenever Emi climbs into bed (a month after the initial transition) she'll says, "Make girl bed!" because for weeks I told her we'd make her a big girl bed.

And WOW you had a busy day! You are a rockstar! Are you sure that was one day? That is seriously impressive!

Reading your list made me exhausted! Good work.

We got macey and miles bunk beds, but have yet to transition Miles out of the crib. I figure I'll keep him in there as long as possible! I have a feeling he won't be as easy as Macey was.

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
