Not So Extreme Home Makeover Edition

Here are the photos of the kiddos new rooms. I know that you have been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting on these photos. I will start with the boys room. The boys are sharing a room now and so far it has gone well. We got them bunk beds which I think is every kids dream. We repainted the walls and got new bed spreads. I still have to hang pictures in their rooms. Also you may notice Alex in a couple of these.

Alex's room was quite different from the boys. She actually got a brighter color on the wall and I will say that when we finished I was completely stressed out about the color. I like it a lot better since we added some furniture and photos to kind of tone all the color down. She loves sleeping in her own room. Since we only have three bedrooms upstairs her crib had been in our room. I knew it was time to go when we would roll over in bed and she would wake up. Plus, we wanted to keep Luke in his crib as long as possible.

We have all adjusted well to the switch-a-roo going on over the last year. We have recently finished our basement and then moving the kids around has kept us very busy. I am already thinking about what my next project will be. Am I crazy or what???

Star in the Spotlight!

Last week I received a letter from Kade's teacher that stated he had been chosen for the month of February for "Star in the Spotlight". He was chosen because he showed the following criteria:

1. School spirit

2. Teamwork

3. Positive Attitude

4. Respect for self and others

It's time to get started!!!

The speaker called all classmates to the stage to receive their award.

Here is a close up of Kade making a silly face!

Kade receiving his award.

Here he is trying to hold it up so I can see the medal, but his hand is covering most of it.

Kade has done an excellent job in Kindergarden this year. He is already on a 1st grade 6 month level.

We are so proud of you Kade

Keep up the hard work.

Cute Pics

We have had a uneventful week so I decided to post a couple of random photos of the kids from the last few weeks.

I love these next two photos of the boys. They are actually being nice to each other.

Luke playing some soccer.

Luke decided that it was his job to help Alex around the yard. He was trying to hold her hand, but she kept pulling it way. She is trying to get away from him so she can play, but Luke is determined that he is in charge of the situation.

Atlast she is free!!!

Once Luke was tired of dragging Alex around he got in his Jeep and guess what happened.....Alex wanted to ride too so they pushed and screamed at each other and as you can see Luke won.

Pretty Princess!!

We later that night Kade ran to the couch and said that Alex was stuck under the train table. Somehow she manged to get in the bins under the table. She was just sitting there playing with all the stuff.

Here are the boys looking all innocent. Kade was showing Luke how to work his race track.

Here is a short preview for the next post. We have recently put the boys in a room together and moved Alex to her own room. We have been painting, cleaning, and moving furniture around for a while. We have a few finishing touchs and then I will add photos of the new rooms.

I leave you with Steve and Luke taking down the border in the boys old nursery. Luke was so cute standing on the back of the ladder.

Have a great week!
