The Girls Room

Since we moved in, the girls have still been in their little toddler beds. They filled them right up from top to bottom. We want to get them bunk beds, but bunk beds are not at the top of the list right now. We had an extra double bed in the basement, which Steve's parents gave us. The plan was to use it for an extra guest bed as we already have another down there too. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to move it up to the girls bedroom since they are outgrowing their toddler beds and they have been insisting on sleeping together in those tiny, little beds.

I'm so glad for the help from my boys. We hauled the double bed...frame, mattress and box springs up two flights of stairs. It was a lot heavier than I thought it would be. My sister recently gave me some extra Duvet covers she had and one of them was pink and it matched their room perfectly.

I am so proud that I gave the girls room a total makeover in a couple of hours and I didn't spend any money. I am planning on making them some new curtains this fall or winter. I just need to find the perfect fabric.
The girls just love their new room and they especially love sleeping snuggled up together.

Our Easter Tree

This is the tree in our front yard. Every year it is blooming for Easter. It is almost in full bloom now. We'll see if it is still in bloom next week for Easter. It is so beautiful and a gentle reminder that spring is here. For now on, we will call it our Easter tree.

The weather is simply gorgeous today. The kids have been out most of the day and are running around with no coats. I even opened a few windows. The mud in the yard is also drying up, thankfully.
