Things are a changin'......

The girls "Last Supper"
Taa Daa, they have officially been moved to the big kid table, they are thrilled to finally be part of the family dining experience! We finally took the high chair and booster out of the kitchen and braved it through a dinner with the girls on the carpet! (The carpet is already so trashed, what difference will a few more spills make)?


Danielle is so proud! She smiled through the whole dinner!


YAY! (Brayden was at cousin Keegan's house, so it was a small gathering).



AND......... we got at least a four foot addition to our kitchen! How crazy is it not to have to move two chairs every time you want to open the fridge or a cupboard?? Things are getting easier?!?
Notice the garbage can is STILL on the counter. When will the girls not be so enamored with it, that they won't feel they have to touch it and lick it? Also, I was trying to change the bag last week and it fell off the counter, now the can is not only bent, but the lid is broken off! Why do garbage cans cost so much? We aren't buying one until the kids are 10, that's what I say about everything nowadays.




AND... Dad hung up a coat rack! I am more than thrilled! The girls' room is constantly trashed with coats, hats, and mittens thrown on the floor or chair (mostly by me). Now things will be a little more organized!



They are just as excited as me! Now, I just have to convince Kent to put two more holes in the wall so Brayden can have one in his room. Does anyone else experience this? It is almost a guarantee that Kent and I will get irritated/frustrated when we are hanging something in the house. Kent is one of the most patient people I have ever met, but if a project involves putting holes in the wall........not so happy. I can understand that, but it's not like I ask all the time. I just want the kids to be able to be organized and hang up their dang coats! Is that too much to ask? (Take note, the girls won't be able to hang up their coats until they're 10, because Kent didn't want to hang it too low and then have to move it later). At that point I just asked him to put it where ever he thought was best. :) And I thanked him for all of his help.
YAY for organization, thanks Megs, you inspired me with your playroom! We also went out and bought a stack able drawer storage thing for all of the play food, (96 pieces) and pots and pans for their kitchen. I am so happy!

Happy Anniversary!

On Saturday my Mom and the kids and I went out to my Grandparent's in Coeur d' Alene to celebrate their 61st anniversary!
Cousin Eliette came with us!

My Mom and Aunties got them a digital photo frame, now they can see all of our beautiful faces all day long!




Ellie and Danielle hanging out at home. Danielle got a hold of the key board and for some reason I can't upload the other pics. I wanted. Guess I'll try a new post. Gotta love busy hands!
