BIG Bed


Owen and Edgar have moved into a bed together. Gone is the crib and mattress on the floor in our room. Now they sleep in Owen's room and are doing well. The first night Owen wouldn't go in there so we just waited until he fell asleep on the couch and moved him in. At 1:00am he woke up and would not go back in there. The second night the going to bed part was the same, but he stayed in when he woke up in the middle of the night. The third night he he climbed in all by himself and stayed through the night. OK, so a little bribing was going on to get those last results, but there is nothing wrong with offering stickers to get your kid in bed - right?


Edgar, on the other hand, had no problem with the switch. He went in the first night and was fine. He still doesn't sleep through the night and i had to go get him a couple of times, but he was fine with just going back to the big bed. Owen thinks it is so cool to sleep with Ed and i like that they are friends.

Friends = Trouble


Owen and Edgar have started playing together. It is so cute when Owie will call Ed and want him to come and play. However, Ed will start making a mess since he doesn't know any better and Owen will join in because it looks like fun.

Well, at least their friends, right?

Stripes!


We painted the living room and dining room this week. The walls were those paneled wallpaper ugliness, but now, after lots of work, look like normal walls.

Huge thanks to Grandma for coming and helping paint both the primer and the color. Also thanks to Julia for telling me how to paint over the wallpaper and to Carson who helped with the second coat in the dining room.


Here are the final results



And the stripes:




Things didn't turn out exactly like i had planned. the colors were just a little too pink for me (most people can't even tell what i'm talking about) but i do love the stripes!
