This was the question I got after showing Skylar her new room that she'll be sharing with her sister. Funny how they can fight and be at each others throats all day but in one small moment, they'll feel like they can't be separated from one another. It's very cute. So today was a very busy and productive day. We started out by making a long overdue trip to the grocery store to stock up our naked fridge. It really was completely bare since I went on a cleaning spree, throwing everything away. It was so nice having daddy there to help and since Skylar was still at her Nana and Papa's house, we just had the two kiddos. Daddy and Eva strolled around the store in their own cart, grabbing a couple of things off the list then returning to me. Bryce and I made our way aisle by aisle with him waving and yelling out "hi" to each person that passed us. We were in and out of there in an hour!! After getting home and unloading all of the groceries, my mom came over with Skylar and I put her to work while daddy and the kids watched a movie.
Thank God for her because if it were only me putting this puppy up it would be all kinds of crooked. It took us a bit longer then expected because there were so many parts and components but I must say, I am in looooove with the finished product:
Skylar really seemed to like it and was understanding once we explained why Bryce didn't have an owl in there too. I think she's pretty excited about her baby sis
finally spending the night! That's the plan for tonight at least so we'll see how it goes.
Earlier this evening, we finally got the kids back on their normal schedules and had baths and dinner done at 6:00pm. With Daylight Savings their new bedtime is 7:30pm so we had some time (and energy) to burn. It worked out great because Skylar had a project that I kept putting on the back burner all week so now that we had the time....tada...
Daddy is the artist in the family. I loved watching them do this together and I know she enjoyed it as well. She is such a stubborn little thing though and would often times grab the paint brush from him and say "DADDY! I can DO it MYSELF!" I would watch him take several deep breaths to calm his nerves..it was cute and they did such a good job. The project was to pick which of God's many creations was your favorite. We may have collectively decided as a group that her favorite was a rainbow. She didn't put up much of a fight because she realized it meant getting to paint!
Pretty, right? Can you tell how proud she is?!
After cleaning up the paint from their little project and the markers from Brycen's, it was time for bed. We brushed teeth, read books, and off they went. I brought sweet Eva in our room to feed her and put her pj's on. After cuddling with her a bit, I very carefully placed her in her new bed and walked away, tears and all. Daddy is enjoying making fun of me but this is tough. It's taking everything inside of me not to go in and grab her...here's to a restful night for all of us (hopefully).
