It's done for now. Savannah was so excited to help paint. She did a great job too. It helps that she is detail oriented & good at staying within lines. So now here is the new bedroom look. And Tim even got the baby's changing table put together & in the room. Ella's first piece of furniture is up & in place. Last week Savannah & I went to a place called Bisque It! where you get to pick a piece of ceramic to paint & then they fire it for you. We went & picked it up today & she even put it up herself. I don't know if you can read it says Savannah on top & Ella on the bottom.

Okay here's one for Debbi. She wanted to see a belly picture. I'm 22 weeks along. Just over half way. :-) Then of course the photographers had to have their pictures taken.

Okay so Dawson will even tell you himself that he's not a baby. He's a big boy! But for now he's my baby, until little Ella shows herself anyway. I'm feeling like such an awful mom because I always post about the kids birthdays & here it is already 5 days past Dawson's 3rd birthday & I haven't said a word about it. So here it goes... He blew out all 3 of his candles in one blow. And was very happy with himself about it. We opened presents in the morning before Tim left for work, hence him still being in his pajamas. Tim & I got him this car race track with the shake n' go cars. Savannah bought him this big red ball. Which as you can tell, he just loves. Hunter picked this foam sword for him. The Saturday after his birthday we went out to Rustler's Rooste with Tim's family to celebrate Dawson's & Brynne's (Tim's sister) birthdays. So he got to open more gifts in the back of Uncle Justin's truck. All the kids enjoyed th...

It's only 9am & it's already been a crazy day & I'm already behind. But as I was correcting some of the kids schoolwork (which was supposed to be done over the weekend by Tim & I), I came across something I thought was neat. In the kids History & Geography book they were learning about communities & community helpers. The question was "If you could be a community helper, which would you rather be & why?" Hunter: Fireman, because I like to fight stuff. Savannah: Teacher, because I want to teach child's about God. I love that I'm the teacher that gets to see this stuff! :-)

Tim took apart Savannah's bunkbed & put it in the boys' room & then took apart their bunk bed & put it in Savannah's room A little switcheroo for when the baby comes. Here is the bed that Savannah had as of this morning. And here's her bed by the afternoon. See all that extra room underneath for her bookcase & dollhouse. Then there was the issue of her closet...one of the doors has been broken since we moved in & the other just sat there open taking up space in the room. So we got rid of the doors & took one of her old bedspreats & made her some closet curtains. She loves it & it makes more of her closet accessible to hang baby clothes in. :-) There will be more decorating in all the kids' rooms in the coming weeks. I want to get most all of the preparing for baby ready before the holidays hit, so I can still spend the time with the kids doing fun holiday things.
