Tangled Movie night with Evie, Elana, and Allie



We have been very busy the past two weekends and they are most likely going to become more jammed packed since I have to get the house ready for a family of 7. Last weekend we went on an Easter egg hunt at my parents church. The girls always love doing stuff like this and just had a fun old time. But this time of year we always seem packed with parties and other events and on the same day the girls had the neighbors birthday party and a tangled movie party planned. We really enjoy when any princess movie comes out so we planned to have some of our friends over to watch tangled to have some mommy and girl time. The girls had a good time catching up with Allie, Evie, and Elana and of course it is always nice when mommy gets to have some adult conversation. But I have to say all good things must come to an end and by 8 o'clock that night from all the partying earlier the girls were done in. This past weekend we had more parties and of course Easter sunday so again it was just another busy weekend celebrating Jesus and all the other things in our lives we are so fortunate for.


We did however find out last night that the kids will be getting here a few days later than planned because the school system they are in have to make up some snow days at the end of the year. This is both a good and bad thing; good because it gives me more time to prepare but bad because I want to maximize the summer and spending time with the kids before we all go back to work and school.


As for prepping we got some paint for the boys room which means this weekend we will be working on painting. Luckily we never painted our guest bedroom beyond the contractor paint that was here so it will be an easy job. I am still driving myself crazy trying to find bedding for the boys that is versatile enough for a 9 and 12 year old. I think that is such an in between age because you don't want to make it too kiddie or too teen. AHHH! dilemmas. I am waiting to decorate Heather's room until she gets here since she has seemed indecisive on what colors she likes and stuff. I am also having problems getting the girls to agree on comforters since they are going to be sharing a room. If Delylah likes it Lennah doesn't and vice versa.


To top off all the happenings we have also been planning our trip to go visit Keith's grandmother and Dad in Florida for July so the kids will be bombarded with 2 trips in their first few months here. We are so excited to get to share these experiences with them for the first time since they have never been to the beach. Of course I am still super excited about our trip to Disney and have definitely gone overboard on booking character meals and such for the kids. We figure we might as well splurge on our Disney trip since it is a special occasion and we have been talking about doing a Disney cruise next year with friends that we know for sure if we spend that kind of money a Disney world trip will be off the table next year for sure. We both just cannot wait to see the kids' faces when they see that castle for the first time.
