Stupid me, and my cute kids.

So, I've been remodeling the kids' rooms. I know, I know, I must not have enough to do already... and I'm stupid. I decided that it was time to move Megan into the toddler bed, and move Lily into a twin bed (she was still in the toddler bed- she doesn't grow!!). Stupid, stupid, stupid. What was wrong with the crib?? NOTHING!

These were my thoughts the first night of Megan in her "Big Girl Bed" as she is crying and screaming forever, and keeps getting out of bed. Plus, since we got new bunk beds for Alec & Lily, and a new dresser for Megan, now I have to paint both rooms. My house is in complete disarray, and I'M TIRED!!!

Day Two of Stupid Toddler Bed.

Megan falls asleep in the car about noon (yes, I planned that. I'm getting a little smarter). Put her in toddler bed and shut door. She takes 4 hour nap (well, she didn't sleep much that night. duh.) Wakes up happy and talking about Big Girl Bed.

Bedtime. Lay her in bed and walk out while she's screaming!!! She cries for less that one minute, and sleeps soundly all night. Hallelujah!

Day Three of Okay Toddler Bed.

Naptime & Bedtime. Lay her down and walk out. She cries for less than 10 seconds. Touchdown!!!

Day Four of Wonderful "Big Girl Bed."

NO Crying!!! Love it!!

So now I can finish painting! (pictures to come soon... relatively soon, anyway...) As I'm painting, I decide I want to put up new pictures in their rooms, and realize that it's supposed to be raining and gray. I loved the picture I had of Lily, but wanted a better shot of Megan and Alec. Ah! Hurry and take the kids out to the garage and hang up my white sheet.









It's a good thing my kids are patient with my craziness! I sure love them!
