Spring Break:day 5

Today wasn't exactly special in the sense that we didn't leave the house to go anywhere or do anything fun. However, I did organize quite a bit and that is pretty special in and of itself! I pretty much got the girls' closets & drawers stocked with their Spring/Summer clothes and took their Fall/Winter things out to the shed. I left a few things in because I'm sure there will still be some cool days.

I rearranged Katie's room. Since she just got into her big girl bed, I'm not sure how I want the room to be arranged. So far, I think I like it better this way than the way I had it before. It's not a big room so I have to be a little creative. I'm planning to paint the room green soon~well, I plan to have Chris paint the room green soon! My mom did find a real big girl bed that she will paint~and she got a fantastic deal! I can't wait to get it! Right now, she's just on a roll away bed and it works just fine. It's fun to have a big girl room to decorate and I'm sure I'll change my mind a million times before it's really "done." (Will it ever really be done? LOL)

Gracie is the type of child who can sit quietly and read or color or draw for long periods of time, so she did fine with me working around the house. She was able to entertain herself most of the day.

I also cleaned up around the house and did a ton of laundry! Tonight was church. Chris taped "Amazing Race," so I think we'll watch that soon. We got home just in time to see Mandisa singing so we assume she got kicked off "American Idol." That's too bad; I liked her. Tomorrow we have a birthday party to go to and then Gracie's friend, L, is coming to spend the night. It will be a busy but fun day!

My friend Kristi had her baby today. Welcome to the world, baby Kaitlyn!

You're not gonna believe this...Sweetpea has that same Jenny Lynn (Lind?) bed!! It's been in our family since my dad was just a young child. He used, I used it and now she has it. I couldn't believe when I saw that picture...how funny!

YOU'RE not gonna believe THIS! Gracie's bed was used by MY dad, by ME and now by Gracie!

You are so freaking me out!!! Unbelievable! The similarities are seemingly endless...

We also must be on the computer at the same time, too.

Jacinda,
I love how blogging with people even across the US can be such a small world sometimes! Mark and my mom were brother and sister. Mark's daughter, Sara (my 1st cousin) has been my best friend for forever and even my maid of honor at my wedding. We still talk on the phone just about every day. She was talking about you just the other day (telling me that you had told Leeann about the Winklers shooting, before it all got all the news attention) and I said, "Oh Jacinda, I know her, yes,I read her blog!" and Sara thought that was so funny!

I've been thinking about painting (well, having Chad paint) Jenna's room green. She's already got bright pink butterfly stuff in her room and I think it would look so cute. I guess we didn't have to be Kojies to like pink and green!
