Livee is fast asleep in her big girl bed for the first night. We recycled an older bed and made it work. I will take a picture in the morning when it is light. She was pretty excited. For bed, she falls asleep in mom's room on mine or Brad's lap. I know, bad habit, but it works with pretty little hassle. She was climbing out of her crib in the morning anyways. I figured her chances of getting hurt are less with her own big girl bed that is only 12" off the ground.
We survived our soccer game today. There was actually no rain. They played an incredible game, but unfortunately they were 1 point short of playing in the championship game. I ended up leaving the kids home asleep in bed. They had barely woken up when we were getting home. We spent a good day together-Don't judge, we are not the typical LDS family.- First we got a great nap in. Then we hung out in the back yard. We worked on Livee's bed. Jase and Aleena ran the sanders for a bit. Hallie made some cupcakes, Savanna and Jase played a soccer game, Brad got the lawn mowed. The sun finally came out, and it felt good to all just be there. We don't have many days like that lately.
We then headed over to my brothers house to sing Happy Birthday to K. She turned 2 today. I can't believe how big she is getting.
We then met up with the soccer team at Idaho Pizza for a last Hooraw. It was loaded with people. It took us about an hour to get our pizza and it wasn't even really that great -sorry Idaho Pizza, we are Chicago Connection fans.
We got home and finished putting Livee's bed together and got the kids in bed. Oh-we did have one melt down with Hallie. She has been begging to trade rooms. "I have had that stupid room my whole life." Let me remind you she has re-arranging disorder and would change bedrooms every day. Now she wants Livee to be in her room and Aleena in with Savanna. I told her no. Livee needs a bed that isn't so tall so she doesn't get hurt if she falls off. After her begging and asking a million times and me saying "NO" a million times she says this:" You always say no, I never get anything I want." These are words that would make any mothers blood boil. She had to give me her phone and to get it back she has to write 20 times before when she got her way. OK maybe 20 is a lot but I was upset and I tend to over react. Anyways, I feel bad getting mad at her. She is such a great helper and really is good, but my kids have a really hard time with the word No. Saying it and hearing it. We are working on that.
