A little fun out the door

Blessings

Paxton & Avery had a spring music concert at school.  They have been singing all the songs to me for weeks, while I loved my own mini concerts, it was fun to watch half of all second graders perform together.  I started to cry. Yep, tears were filling in my eyes. Tears of such pride in how amazing my kids are, how proud I am of who they are and tears of how fast they are growing up.  I had to pull myself together or I would've started bawling right in the front row and embarrassed my kids.

My blessings.

cha-cha-cha-changes

This summer BIG changes are happening in the G-K home!  We are moving rooms. (well, my hubby & I are staying in the same spot, although, it would fit all 4 kids perfectly) 

Upstairs we have Paxton & Avery's room, Easton & Adler's room, a playroom and our room.  Since my 8 year olds still do not want their own room, we are switching to a boy and a girl room.  Wish us luck, we've been talking this up for about a year.  P&A are so bonded (they've only spent two nights separate, when P was 20 months & in the hospital) that I'm slightly nervous and secretly a little sad about separating them.

I'm in full planning mode for their rooms.


{Paxton & Avery's current room}

First up is the girls room, currently Paxton & Avery's room.  Avery wanted a zebra stripe painted wall, I DO NOT want to paint that!  I think we've settled on a chevron of sorts.  I drew up a quick sample to show the girls.  Adler was so so so happy!
My plan for their room besides painting is recovering A&P's current metal bed with fabric, a full length wall shelf, painting their oak trim white (big undertaking / still deciding if I want to tackle it) some custom art, etc.

I still need to draw up my thoughts for the boys so they can see it.  Paxton chose a wall that just might be the bane of my existence.  I thought zebra would be challenging...I'll share the boys plans later.

Mommy's Day recap

 My big kids made these super mom's at school.  Aren't they so cute! My favorite is what they wrote inside.


 
 

Avery wrote (me translating)

"My Mom is my hero because she protects me from a wasp tries to sting me. She is a nice mom every day!"   The weekend before, we had wasps and I killed them with my shoe.

Paxton wrote

"My mom is a hero!  Because she helps my family. By doing the dishes. Making us healthy and strong.  I love you so much"

We had the best day although a bit chilly! Sculpture Gardens & Wild Rumpus Room Books.
