The girls sleepover!!

The girls have been working so hard on school work we decided to surprise them with a friend coming to sleep over last Friday night. Their friend Kelsey from church. She is such a sweet little girl and is exactly the kind of friend I want my girls to have. She is 9 years old so she is a little more mature than mine, but they had a lot of fun.



Then when Jeremy and I decided to do this I went into redecorating mode!!



I didn't like how the girls rooms were before. I wanted their bedroom to be the purple and pink and their playroom to be the green and yellow. We had already painted when we realized the bunk bed didn't fit in the pink and purple room. I was very bummed. Jeremy mentioned putting the bunk bed away and bringing up the queen bed from the basement. They are all still small enough they would fit fine. They slept on the full bunk bed together so the queen would give them more room. At the time I said no. Last week I started to reconsider since I wanted it nice for their friend and I've wanted it nice for my girls too.



So let the cleaning and organizing begin. I was up going through bins and toy boxes and getting rid of anything they didn't play with or didn't have sentimental value. I got very little sleep Thursday night. Their toys had taken over and I had gotten behind. I started Wednesday night and finished Thursday night. Jeremy asked a friend from work to come over Friday morning and help him move the beds around. They brought the Queen up and would you believe it... COVERED IN MOLD!!!! We even had it wrapped in packing wrap to keep that from happening, but water got in anyway so plan B. Put the full mattress on the queen box spring and the girls have a little step for their new bed. They loved it!!! So Did I. I was so happy how it turned out. I am mostly happy because when I asked my oldest, Hallie,"Is this the nice bedroom you wanted?" She said to me "It's even better than I imagined!" MELT MY MOMMY HEART!!!!



I am so thankful my dear husband was so willing to lose some sleep and deal with my changing my mind 100 times. It never would have gotten done if it weren't for him. Now our girls feel like princess's!!!



We are not completely done yet. There are a few more decorating things I want to do. My friend, Brigitte is going to come paint butterflies and flowers in the playroom and we want to get lace material and make the girls a canopy over their bed. I'm so excited.

The play room

We are also going to get butterfly hooks to hold the sheers to the sides if the doorway into their room. Their playroom and bedroom are open to each other. My mom bought the sheers. We also have the matching valance that will go above the doorway.

Bedroom

On the wall is a really cute princess crown clock. I forgot a closeup. That will be another post. My mom bought that too. Thanks mom!!

Hope napping on the new bed

My mom also bought us new curtains. These add a lot of color.

Hallie is waiting for the surprise to show up.

Kelsey bought the girls those horse T-shirts they are wearing for Christmas.

So I had them wear them that day.

After Kesley left on Saturday we went to the store. The girls played in there playground.

They love Menard's!! That's the name of the store.

Hope hitching a ride from Daddy.

Boomer dug up the ground under the fence and we had to get dirt to fill it in for the new neighbors. The dirt was frozen, but it didn't take long for it to thaw in 60 degree's and the sun shining.
