Curtains ~ but still no bed...

Lauren decided she 'needed' these foam animals for her wardrobe!!



Curtains ~ at last!!

Storage units for Dan and Lauren ~ they have filled them already!!



The childrens bedroom is now taking shape ~ the only item still missing is Laurens bed ~ which seems to be taking forever!! She is more than happy where she is and judging by the loud snoring every night when I go to check on her ~ she is snug and comfy!!

The curtains and lampshade are now up and Lauren has chosen some foam animals that she just had to have for her wardrobe doors!! I also bought them some storage boxes for under their beds (they are both under Daniels bed at the moment).....and they have filled them up already. Each storage box came with 4 free clear boxes ~ which Daniel has put his cars and bits in and lauren has stashed away her hair bands and other treasures!!

We had a quiet weekend ~ no painting or rushing around. Daniel had a friend over for a sleepover on Saturday night and they had pizza and popcorn and all kinds of other treats and then stayed up and watched a movie ~ Dan had such alot of fun and has made a list of who he wants to stay next!! Lauren actually behaved herself ~ she did her best to annoy the boys at every available opportunity ~ but gave up in the end and went to bed (she slept in with me ~ to give the boys some peace!!).

Monday morning again ~ and back to work!! I don't start until 10am today ~ so I have got half an hour to have a coffee ~ grab a quick bite to eat and then prepare for the madness ahead of me (ha ha!!).

i'm up sooooooooooooo late, tabitha, but i'm starting to get sleepy finally at 4am (about time, huh???). i think it's because i've finally been able to come off of one of my meds. hopefully, i won't sleep all day then have trouble tonight again:/
anyway, daniel's and lauren's room IS shaping up and looks darling!!! i bet they are totally loving it:D i can't wait for your precious little ballerina to get her bed (for her and so i can see the completely finished room;)!!!
as i look at the clock i see that your crazy day is just beginning. i hope it's a fun one!!!
love,
dani

Hi dani ~ I did wonder what you were doing up at this time ~ hope you get some sleep!!
Glad to hear that you are coming off some of the meds.
I so hope that Laurens bed comes soon and then the room can get finished off ~ My day has started now ~ luckily it is nice and sunny ~ so we are off for a nature walk.
I am thinking of putting a clock on my blog ~ so you know what time it is here!! Will go and try and find one!!
Love and hugs ~ tabitha XXX

Sometimes a girl just "has to have" something, doesn't she?! I think the animals look very cute.

I see you now have a clock as well (Well, it's hard to look past it :).
It's always good to know what time it is, for me it means my lunchtime is almost up!

Love,
Tania

Hi Tabitha

Wow, Daniel and Lauren's room are looking fantastic. You've done such a great job of putting them together.

I can't believe how long Lauren's bed is taking. Have they given you any idea when you can expect it? She is being so patient while she is waiting.

I am so glad you had a weekend that was a liitle slower paced than your past few weekends.

Love and hugs
Elise

The room is looking great, but i can't wait for Lauren to have her own bed to sleep in.
Glad the sleepover went well, i've not been brave enough to allow any of my boys to have one yet:-/
Hope your day doesn't get too crazy! I don't go back to work until Wednesday! yee-haaa!
Hugs,
Amanda xx

Tabitha, if you click on my clock on my blog it will allow you to get one of your own, and you can even pick the colour!

Hi Tania ~ In Laurens case ~ she 'needs' to have everything!!
I thought that the clock was a good idea as I often get confused when I am visiting other peoples blogs ~ as to the time difference etc.

The kids room is looking fantastic Tabitha!!! hope Lauren's bed arrives soon... it sure is taking a long time!! So happy to hear Daniel had a great time with his friend.. isn't it so typical for the other sibling to try & stir up some trouble lol.

Hope Monday was a good one!!

love & hugs,
Tanya xx
