Sleeping Angels!

Yesterday was a busy day with a birthday party for a classmate at Ollie Koala's. Both kids ran around and played for 2 1/2 hours. We got home and she told us bye and went and laid down on our bed. I should have known then that she was not feeling well :(

Nana came by and we had a full turkey dinner. The kids were so excited to see her and she had gifts from her trip.

I heard her crying at 3:00 am. I went up and she was wandering around the upstairs, crying and coughing, nose running. :( I laid down with her and she said, "momma I sick". Then she asked what would happen if Gerri was scared. I told her that if Gerri was ever scared she would have mommy, daddy, danny and her to keep her from being scared. She then asked if they could sleep together if they were scared and I said absolutely! That seemed to make her calm down. She rolled over and promptly slept till 7 this am.

This morning she has been miserable :( She is sick again, fever and a cough.

She ate all her lunch and then I told her she needed a good nap to feel better.

I told her daddy would help her get better:

That is Lexie on the couch next to them.
Danny is in the bedroom watching sprout and taking pictures of the work crew outside the window working on the new driveway.

I spent the morning getting the dressers upstairs in the girls' room. I sorted through all the clothes, put all the clothes away. Victoria was fascinated by their dresses hanging in the closet side by side :)
Since we don't know Gerri's size I have size 5 and 6. By putting the clothes away I discovered that she has LOTS of clothes!! So I think she is all set!!
Once my camera gets back from Nikon in the next day or so I will take pictures of the complete bedroom.

Getting there!

Here are the girls dressers. I have primed and put 2 coats of pink petal white on them. The new knobs will go on as soon as the paint is dry.

I bought some really cool rub on transfers but I can't get them to work. :(

Here are the girls initials to hang over their beds.

Danny has had his since he was little :)

Here are their name badges for their bedroom doors:

As soon as everything is put together I will take some pics. My camera is due back from Nikon Tuesday. I can't wait to get it back!

Nana is back from the cold north and the kids can't wait to see her on Sunday!

Keeping Daddy company :)

Our neighbor is having his driveway redone and widened. The kids have been fascinated with the dump trucks, dozers and such. The neighbor is getting a much longer culvert so they are cleaning out the ditches. They found the old culvert filled in with dirt and silt, so Dan decided that we needed to clean ours out. The kids thought it was just too much fun to help daddy with the stinky dirty mud. Every once in a while they would all cheer because a little fishy would get shoveled up and they would yell till Dan put it back in the water.

Here is a closer view:

In case you can't tell, Victoria is using her magic stick :) :)

Man did they all stink when they came in!!
But they had a great time!!

PS the first picture shows my new old car!! I listed m 2004 honda odyssey on craigslist and sold it in 4 hours!!! The buyer took a train down from NC!!
I then found this 2006 Honda Odyssey on craigslist too!! I have had it for a couple of days and LOVE IT!! It is loaded with everything :)

Such a surprise!!

This is what I found last night when Victoria finally fell asleep:

No that is not her bed :)

I guess she decided it looked too comfy :)

Nesting!!

Last week while looking for a dresser for Gerri we found a used furniture place right nearby.

In the back of the store was a really pretty antique bed set and a race car bed. Danny fell in love with it and promptly asked for it. We told him that he would need to sell his bunk beds in order to do that and he said do it!!  I asked if he would be ok switching bedrooms so the 2 girls could have the bigger room and he said yes!!   So I listed it on Craigslist. Every day when Danny came home from school he would ask if anyone bought his bed yet? We had several people inquire and a couple came to see it. Unbeknownst to Danny we had bought both bedroom sets. :)

Friday afternoon Dan picked up Danny from school and headed back to the used furniture place because Dan needed the key to his antique rolltop desk. Danny quickly ran to the back of the store looking for the race car bed. While Dan was talking to the owner Danny came running up all upset saying Daddy the bed is gone!! Dan calmed him down and told him that as soon as his bunk beds sold we would find him antoher race car bed :(

Saturday morning a couple came to see the beds, paid cash, paid full price and took the beds!!

The kids had fun playing with their 2 yr old while all the adults took it apart and put it into their truck.

As soon as they left I told Danny that it was time to empty out both bedrooms, vacuum and steam clean the carpets. I told him to help daddy get the carpet cleaner out of the garage.

The next thing heard in our house was him screaming!!!!

He came running into the house yelling "mommy my bed is in the garage"!!!!

The look on his face was worth everything!!

So all day Saturday and Sunday was spent getting everything set up.

Here are the two playing in the play room, eating snacks.

Ta da - here is the new girls' room!

I just love this bed and can't wait to see Gerri in it!

This futon is used for company, but I think it will come in handy when Gerri has procedures and we need to be nearby.

Ms V loves her new room!

Danny's new boy room!

The infamous Bed! He is in heaven!

The amazing thing is that the money from the bunk beds paid for Danny and Gerri's new beds, new bedding and her new dresser!!!! God provides when needed :)

Gerri's new dresser is not in the room yet as we have to refinish it and put on new knobs.

Busy Busy weekend!!

I just don't think so!!

The weatherman said we have a chance of flurries Saturday and Sunday morning!!
