Teddy's Bedroom

Well of course Teddy also would like his room shared as well. For a few months Alexis bunked up with him. And now that her bedroom is finished he wants to show off his.

Standing in the doorway, we can see his Jr. Loft bed, he will eventually get a higher loft bed, this one will do just fine for the next few years. He has a nice seating area for reading. And bright green walls, a color his dad and him chose last summer.

I like an open closet, all of my kids rooms have no closet doors.

 

Off to the left of his bed is his desk. He LOVES to draw and write, this desk fits perfect in his small space. He found it at the local thrift store, sat in it and said "please Mommy?". How can I say no to those adorable brown eyes?

 

We are going to add a trophy shelf to the wall and that green and yellow thing with the pegs. I also have a few other ideas for updating his room. My plan is to get updating done when Teddy and his sisters go to Kindergarten this Fall.

 

I remember all too well when it was full of toddler beds and when it was the nursery.

First Day Of Preschool!!!! Teddy

Unlike his sisters, Teddy was very nervous for his first day of preschool!!

 

 

 

He did not enjoy the long wait for Alexis and Olivia to get on thier bus...

 

Finally he slowly walks into school.

Big smile for Mom right near his cubbie.

 



 

Hanging on tightly to his sisters dress.

 

He had a good day, and was so happy to finally have some boys to play with.

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.

Toddler Beds

The trio has been climbing out of those mini cribs for a while. So it was time for Toddler beds.

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.

Samantha

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!! :)
