Welcome to the week of new things in our home! Obviously the biggest deal is that I finished the bunk beds this past week. The girls LOVE it! And that's even still an understatement. I'm currently sitting in their room with them while they play on Brooke's new bed. It's just where they always want to be now. Last night both girls slept in here for the first time, and they did great! I haven't finished the stairs yet, so Brooke was stuck up top, and Winry was on the bed on the floor. Brooke had the monitor up with her so she could talk to us if she needed anything, but they both slept until around 7 am when I came to check on them. When I peeked in they were both awake. Winry was still relaxing in her bed, and Brooke was waiting for Winry to get up before she asked us to come get her so she wouldn't wake her up! Brooke is AMAZING at being considerate with things like that. It was also Winry's first night sleeping in a bed rather than a crib, and she did awesome! She only came out a couple times right after we put her to bed, and then slept great in there the whole night!
I've got more pictures of the bed, so we'll talk about it more later, but let's get to the rest of the week. I made bagels last Sunday. I imagine that made it in the blog since I wrote it so late. Anyway, we had bagels for breakfast on Monday, and Winry helped feed Brooke. I'm pretty sure they were using different names too, but I don't remember who they were playing. The easy guess would be that Winry was KC from TOTS (she takes care of the babies) and Brooke was one of the babies.
Last Monday (the week before this past one) Brooke's room was littered with stuffed animals and blankets at bed time. We asked her to clean them up and offered to help, but she wouldn't. She was super tired and occasionally when she's really tired she gets in a super stinker mood. In the end we put all of her stuffed animals and blankets that were out into bags and in the garage for a week. She was super about not complaining the whole week and making the most of the few animals she had left. Anyway, Monday she got everything back, and when we came back to check on her after putting her to bed she had made a bed on the floor with all of her blankets and surrounded herself with all of our stuffed animals. She was VERY grateful to have them all back, and she's been great about cleaning them up since then too!
After dance class on Wednesday Winry got in her construction outfit. How do I know this was after dance? Well, that's her leotard she's wearing around her waist. She was like this for most of the rest of the day!
On Thursday my new office chair (aka my first real office chair) came! I'm now officially moving to full time working from home. In fact, I need to go in sometime this week to clear out my things from my old desk so that another member of the rad team can move into it. Anyway, my previous chair was not working out for me to sit in all day every day. Brooke helped me assemble my new chair and was excited to try it out.
Everyone was excited to try out my new chair!
And by that I mean EVERYONE! While I was looking at chairs online I decided I wanted to get one with a tall back so that it fit my height. This had the tallest back of all of the ones I looked at and was also pretty cheap. I'm glad I picked this one, it's been very comfortable so far!
I finished up the top coat on the bed Wednesday and Thursday evening, and Friday when I finished work we brought it up to Brooke's room. I didn't have the extra pieces ready, so it wasn't ready to be slept in, but the girls still enjoyed playing in it. You'll notice in the first picture that there is a rail on the front so Brooke won't fall out, and a divider underneath for Winry's mattress. I finished those Friday night, so we didn't attach them till Saturday morning, and hence, Saturday night was the girls first night in their new beds.
But back to Friday afternoon, the girls had a great time playing. They touched the ceiling, and we threw stuffed animals back and forth. All the normal things you do in new bunk beds.
Saturday night we had Friday night, meaning we had pizza for dinner and had family movie night. We just ran out of time Friday because we kept playing in the new bed. Anyway, Saturday was as good a day as any. The pizza was just amazing! So good it deserved a spot in the blog this week! Monica's getting really good at making dough for the crust!
Saturday night everyone was excited for bed!! It's a bit hard to see, but you can see the girls both in their beds. Winry got out a few times initially, but after I rocked her for a minute or two and got her some stuffed animals from her crib she stayed in, and they both slept like champions!
Today as soon as church was over Brooke ran upstairs to put on her new Ariel costume! That's who Brooke wants to be for Halloween! Since Brooke was a mermaid, naturally Winry wanted to put on her Ariel costume as well. I believe they both want to be Ariel for Halloween, so imagine some fake cob webs in the background, and a jack o' lantern and we can use this picture again in a month!
