Do I trust him?

My Hubby just informed me I need to go away for a weekend while he stays home to paint the bedroom! He's afraid if he paints in all in one afternoon and I am home the smell will be too much for me. Now do I trust him home alone with paint and brushes?? You think I am supposed to take the girls with me?

When the sun goes down

Abby's new saying is "When the sun goes down we go to bed". For me at this point in my pregnancy I do not care where I go to bed as long as there's a bed and its quiet.

I want to share a couple pictures of where I go when the sun goes down! Its still decorated with pink curtains and the wall sign saying SISTERS. I am sure after some time and rest someone will start painting. It won't be me though! I don't really mind the pink. I know I would like something better but I can live with pink! Its even two different shades. What can be better than that? I do miss the fairy border.
We did find some time to enjoy a visit from Grandma and Aunt M on Saturday and went to supper with them. I think they came to see the big mess we made switching rooms. Then on Sunday we took the girls to A&W for some rootbeer and stopped at a park on the way home.

Yesterday we went to Grandma's Cafe for lunch and visited with Grandma and Aunt M. We got ice cream! Grandma now has blue bunny ice cream. There are 8 flovors to pick from! We had to take Grandpa, Uncle M and Uncle J some late lunch in the field. We got to the field and of course the girls were excited to watch the tractor moving. The men came to the van to eat and wow were they dirty. One of the girls asked Uncle M if he wanted a wet wipe for his hands (I don't think that would have done too much though). He tried to tell us farmers can eat when they are dirty! At least they took time to stop and eat I guess. There was one night they didn't stop to sleep. Grandma didn't like that. I guess the sun didn't go down in their field!

Happy Tuesday Morning

Wow, I haven't posted since last Thursday! I haven't been on the computer since Friday afternoon! I opened my email today to find 60 emails that I automatically knew I could delete and one email that stated something like the following-

What is going on? I am going through blog withdrawals!

Well, I am here and will post today! Not sure where to even start though.

I would like to say I had a very relaxing weekend but it was very much the opposite of that. It was work work work.

We started changing the bedrooms around on Saturday and that was more work than I expected it to be. Hubby and I are sleeping in a pink room and I have no desire to worry about it getting painted. He's not excited though about the pink. I found toys nobody has played with since we moved so we set those aside for the garage sale. I went through all of Jade and Maddison's clothes. Then decided that Abby's could wait. Nobody can see in her dresser anyways!

Jade and Abby had more toys/trinkets that I thought. Not sure how they were so organized in what I thought were messy rooms. You haven't seen messy until you see their new room now. At some point though I will help them get it organized. They slept very good upstairs the first night but Jade had to sleep downstairs the second night. She was coughing non-stop. It was terrible. I couldn't sleep because it was so bad. We took her in yesterday morning to find out she had an ear infection and the draining from the ear was causing the cough. She is on an antibiotic but so far I see no change for the better after 3 doses. I guess we'll give it today yet and see what happens.

Maddison screamed terribly the first night in her new room. She was so overly tired though and I am sure that was the main reason she was so upset. After about 10 minutes though she was sound asleep and without her NUK! When I laid her down she was so mad she had thrown it at me. So I had just laid it next to her thinking she would take it if she wanted it. The next 2 nights she feel asleep with NO crying or screaming and slept wonderfully all by herself in her new room. Oh and without her NUK!

That's about all I have time for right now. I will post again later if I get to it. I need a day off after my day off yesterday! The house still needs some order but its clean enough for daycare today. Me I need something- I have no energy today. I am actually hoping it rains so we can call it a movie day! Kids will be out of wak I am sure since they missed an extra day. It will feel like a Monday.

only 10 minutes!

Wow did I get lucky with the Pink Fairy border! Lastnight as I got out of the tub Hubby was yelling for me to go into the bedroom. I get in there and he was all concerned about where we'll put the bed and how its all going to work out. I think he was hoping I would change my mind and call the whole thing off. So we decided where things would go. Then I sweetly said "Maybe to make things easier we'll just keep the room pink and keep the fairy border". He looked at me like I was crazy and said "No way".

Now have you ever had to take wallpaper off the wall before? Even removing a small border scares me. Well today when I had a free minute I went in there and thought I would just try one corner to see how easy it was to peel off. Well, wow did I get lucky. It pulled right off the wall with no problems. I rolled it all up and you can't even tell the border was up there. Well, except for one small small spot. I think there is just the one spot that I will need to scrape because we had a hard time getting it to stick to the wall in that area. We had to use wallpaper paste to get it to stick. I spent 5 minutes and the wallpaper border is down. Will take about 5 more minutes to get the last bit off. Only a 10 minute project. So not bad.

Good bye Fairy Border. It is alittle sad though. When Abby cleans up her toys (not often) it was one of my favorite rooms.

What we do for our children

As time is getting closer to August (well I feel it is) and I continue to grow and wait for my baby boy, Hubby and I have talked about our bedroom situation.

Here are the options:

1: Move Jade downstairs (this nickname stuff has to stop for today, its too much to type). After we give it some major needed TLC!

2: Move Jade and Abby downstairs after major needed TLC!

3: Give our wonderful 3 girls the master suite upstairs with walk-in closet (where I hide my great shopping/clearance deals and my sister's baby gifts- which I can't wait to give to her).

4: Do absolutely nothing and wait until its time for Baby Boy Wynn to move to his own room.

Now as you may have read about 6 months ago I just got my master bedroom and bathroom finished to my liking. The bedrooms on the main level were just painted last June when we moved in. Money wise its cheaper at this point to leave the basement alone.

At first I wanted to honestly turn the basement into my daycare. I could go down there in the morning and come upstairs after all the kids left. It would be like going to work and coming home. But I can not see myself being happy down there ALL DAY/ EVERY DAY when you can't really see out. There is one egress window and we have talked about adding 2 more but you still can't see out as well. So then yes, I thought it would be a great idea to move Jade down there. However its going to take alot of money to get it looking like a nice cozy basement. A place someone would want to go to to sleep. So now I am voting for option 3. I am not excited about giving up my HUGE room. This master suite is the size of our little house! Plus I just got it looking the way I wanted it. Hubby is still voting for option 1.

Well, yesterday morning before I sent Jade to school I talked with her about it. I gave her the options and of course she was a smart girl and voted for option 3. Maddison is too little to vote and she already sleeps up there at night anyways. So she is voting option 3. Abby has always wanted to be sleep upstairs and goes up there during the day at naptime when there is no preschool. She watches cartoons for 20 minutes and then bugs me the rest of nap time! So she is voting option 3!

When Hubby came home from work yesterday I told him I talked with Jade and she would rather be upstairs. I said though I didn't want to re-paint the walls. We could find something girly to go with the brown walls and get them new girly curtains. His response was "Well, I am glad you 4 ladies decided this without me".

So we took a trip to Menards lastnight to look around and try to get some ideas we found some very cute wall stickers. Love the idea of wall stickers! So good bye to the red and hello pink! It actually looks like we picked the shade of brown we have on the walls to match these stickers. I am not excited to give up my suite but I am excited how cool these stickers look. And they are Pink!! Who doesn't love pink? Well, I am sure alot of people but I love it!

I told hubby that I can't help him move beds and dressers but I would find someone to help him. He didn't like that either. He told me he could do it on his own. We might be having a boy but I hate to say this but he's still out numbered!! The girls will always win!!

Now as for Baby Boy Wynn who still has no name, he will be getting Jade's room. I am really hoping this is all done before he arrives. I never got to do a special baby room for Maddison because our other house was so little. She had to sleep in our room and it was crowded in there. So I am excited to do a baby room this time. The walls are currently light green and for now we will leave them green and probably decorate the room in cars and trucks. I got a bedding set on clearance (oh I love clearance) which I have been hiding in the closet since before I even knew it was a boy! I got it very cheap and figured it would always sell on E-Bay if I had a girl. Oh there was butterfly and flower decals on the wall but those got painted over today at naptime!

Hubby and I will be moving to the Pink Fairy room (currently Abby and Maddison's room)! Oh how exciting. Pink Fairies. It is a really cute girls room and I owe my children to my sister for all her help in the painting and hanging the border but sadly it may have to go. I can not imagine telling Hubby at this point we need to keep the Pink Fairy room. I think he would move to the basement himself!

Now no need to worry about space for the 3 girls in the same room. The master suite is huge. It will be perfect for them. They even get a bathroom! The room is large enough too that we don't have use their bunk beds either. Making bunk beds is one job I have never liked.

I will show pictures once everything done. I am hoping to do this over the weekend. Hubby would probably prefer to wait until I say "Hun, its time. I am in labor"! I like to be prepared. I got a huge to do list before the baby arrives. Its only getting started.


Oh and PS I think I was brainwashed by my mother. She had many reasons why "HER" girls shouldn't move downstairs.

The new toys

Here are a few pictures of what Sweet Baby Girl and I bought at the sales on Saturday. We have neighborhood sales on June 4,5 and 6. So I am doing a sale on that Saturday, June 6! I need to make up what I have spent! Anyone who wishes is welcome to come sell too! The neighborhood will be posting signs in the yards of those participating a few days in advance for advertisement! I am excited to participate this year. Last year we moved in a month too late.

The new doll cradle!

The new Pony!

The new trucks and bus! I must not be very observant! The big bus plays music if you turn it upside down and turn it on! It plays the wheels on the bus. I didn't even know this until yesterday afternoon.

Happy Birthday!

Wow two posts in the same morning. I am the only one up and its just about 8am. I've even taken my shower already! The girls are getting their pictures taken today as long as they all feel well. Sweet Baby Girl had a bit of a fever lastnight when we got home. It was about 100 degrees.

Are you wondering who's Birthday it is? Well its my blogs half birthday. Yes, 6 months ago I made my first post! Now about 134 posts later here we are. Can you believe for 6 months I have been typing away and sharing pictures with you. I hope you all stay with us because every day is exciting in the Wynn House. I am very blessed to be the mom of the house! Even if I have to always do the dishes. So stay for awhile longer and I will continue to keep you as updated as I can.

Sweet Baby Girl is also celebrating today! She is 14 months old today! Wow time goes by so fast.
