Spring Teaser!

We had the most WONDERFUL Spring Teaser! Sunday we were able to have a picnic (allbeit a quick one thanks to the sun going behind the clouds) in our backyard which was absolutely SPLENDID! Then Monday the boys got up and dressed bright and early (I'll clarify: 7:30am IS earlier than normal for our family ha ha), ate breakfast, and we all headed outside to swing and play until Logan had to leave for school a little after 9. We also played with the parachute and a ball, but it was so windy it wasn't quite what Logan was expecting. He had more fun pretending it was a cape. :-) After we dropped Logan off at school, Ty and I went over to a park with our friends Monica & Mikayla. The kiddies had a blast playing on the toys! We even got to walk around the trail. Once home, both boys slept beautifully for naps- that sunshine is exhausting!- and I got to sit in my comfy chair in our bedroom next to an open window and enjoy the soft breeze. I can't tell you how much that day meant to me. We woke up to rain Tuesday and more snow today, but I didn't really even mind since I'd had such a wonderful Monday. YAY SPRINGTIME...well, while it lasted, anyway!!

On another note I've been scouring the online shops looking for the perfect theme for my sweet baby girl's room. I was really debating a beach theme- flip flops and sunglasses, etc.- but I love springtime so much that daisies and butterflies keep drawing me back. I haven't made any decisions yet, but I'm so excited to actually have a room decorated so everything coordinates! I have plans for the walls and pictures to match the bedding and curtains, possibly a cute rug, pillows for the futon and rocking chair, etc.! It's so fun doing a girl's room! I loved doing the boys' rooms too- always had fun ideas, but we moved so much when they were babies that the only things we really 'decorated' with were bedding and curtains- and those didn't match each other! Luckily the boys didn't mind- I think they had more fun picking out posters of their favorite characters than they would have a formally decorated room. This little girlie will be in the same room for the next four years or so at least, so I can justify painting and doing more permanent things (don't worry, Honey, I know it all has to be a buyer-friendly neutral before we put the house up for sale...) :-). James has been really supportive of my whole room decorating fiasco- meaning he doesn't say "no, that's a waste of money for a baby who won't realize what the surroundings are until she's much older" he just says, "just make sure it fits in the budget and you have a plan before you start." :-) He knows me too well. I'm just so excited about this little baby!
