Samantha and Bridgette's bedroom

Even though the room still needs some work and will get an update when the girls head off to Kindergarten this Fall, they wanted their room shared as well.

Here is a view of their little seating area. Both girls love to sit in those chairs and read books. They are very excited to be going to Kindergarten in the Fall.

My plan is to have a bunk bed for the girls by this Fall sometime. Not having to pull Bridgette's bed out for her to sleep on every night will be a relief.

I am also hoping to get 2 dressers that will fit side by side in the space where Samantha's dresser is. (The dresser with the hutch) They will each need to be less than 36" wide and hopefully not more than about 40" tall. I will look at garage sales and the local thrift store for those.

 

That door behind Bridgette's dresser, is the new entry into our attic. Eventually it will be an extended area added for play to Samantha and Bridgette's bedroom. Hopefully it will temporarily serve as storage space until our next remodel project is finished. It does need its frame put on and a door knob that locks with a key. It is not a safe area for play yet!!

 

And here is a look in from the doorway.

 

Well hopefully this Fall I will post the new updated pictures, once it is redone.

 

Thanks for checking in on us.

First Day Of Preschool!!! Samantha

Samantha was super excited for her first day of school. She picked out her own outfit!!

 

She waited so patiently for Alexis and Olivia to get on thier bus, so I could take her to school.

Walkning in carrying her pink lunchbox.

In front of her cubbie!!

 

It was a great first day of school and she can not wait to go back!!!

First Day Of School X 5

Today was the first day of school for all 5 of my kids.

I packed 5 lunches.

5 kids got dressed and ready for school.

2 kids waited for that big yellow bus.

And 3 kids got a ride to preschool.

Today was a good day.

Prayers Please!!

Please send some prayers Samantha's way, she will be following in her 2 big sisters footsteps and will be getting her adenoids removed on Friday, thankfully her tonsils are tiny so they are staying in. Samantha will also be getting tubes in her ears, she has had quite a few ear infections this past year. My first kid to get tubes and the first one to get only adenoids out. From what I understand this recovery will be much easier than when the tonsils come out, but since she was a preemie the Dr. wants her to have an overnight stay, so Samantha and Mom are going to have an overnight at the hospital.





Please pray for a quick easy recovery. And no surprises during the surgery.

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Where did the time go?? Today I have three 2 year olds, they are not little babies anymore. And they are so much fun!!!

Samantha at 2, is sweet and loves her baby dolls, loves her blanket, which she calls "kiki", and loves to bite Bridgette. Yep Bridgette is Samantha's chew toy. She can warm your heart in a second with that irresistable smile.

Oh Bridgette, she is quite the character. What a hoot and she really gives me a run for my money. She talks talks talks, not sure where that comes from. She can recognize most letters of the alphabet, has a very large vocabulary, enjoys climbing out of her crib, seriously has monkey toes and grips her feet around things to climb, a new favorite thing is to climb into her sister and brothers crib. She is the boss of the trio, but if she gets too bossy watch out for Samantha because she will bite her. Bridgette has no fear and wants to do all the things her big sisters do.

Ahhh Teddy my little man. He is a thinker, he figures things out. Definately good at manipulating objects, stacking, building. Wants to get right in and help with all of the fixing around the house. He LOVES to have time with him and Daddy. He likes to observe and will stay out of Samantha and Bridgettes way so to avoid being hit or bit by the little girls. He has a large vocabulary but does not talk much unless he really wants something, of course with 4 sisters how can he get a word in. He is mamas boy and sweet and snuggly too.

Maddie, our little Angel, she is part of lives everyday we talk about her, think about her and miss her. I can not believe it has been almost 2 years since I held her last.

This years party was simple, Alexis made a sign look hard it says "Happy Birthday" Although bathday was more appropriate by the end of the day. :)

The table for my 5 to eat at.

The table for Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Auntie, Uncle and cousin. :)

The simple theme ran over to the wraping. Yep I only bought 2 presents for 3 kids, and they were wrapped in simple brown paper, that came in the packaging from the box they arrived in from the mail. Alexis and Olivia decorated the wrapping paper!! :)

Bridgette woke up early and helped color her own wrapping paper.

Alexis, Olivia and I made a simple cake completely from scratch, all purpose flour, butter, milk, homemade buttercream frosting. Not fancy but really tastey. :)

The kids enjoyed the cake. Samantha, Bridgette and Teddy.

Then it was time to wish Maddie a Happy Birthday!! Teddy and cousin Matthew!!

Those 5 balloons really stayed together. The 5 from her siblings to her!! :)

Daddy bought extra balloons, smart man. Present time.

Eco friendly wrap = eco friendly toys. They got a parking garage and a Eco Town by plan toys. Got them on sale last December and they sat in my basement for all that time. :)

They will be getting another party with my Dad and Donnies Mom next weekend, and Olivias birthday will be celebrated too. :) Lucky little kids getting lots of parties.

Thanks for peeking in on us!! :)
