Busy Weekend

We had a whirlwind weekend!!! It started Thursday evening when we started emptying the parental bedroom in preperation for Friday and Saturday. The big task for the weekend was the switching of the bedrooms. First we had to freshen up all the walls and finally finish the window frame in the bedroom. We also had to make sure all the modem cables were safely hidden. By Saturday afternoon we were assembling Evie's new loft bed and getting all the kids' toys and furniture into their new BIG Bedroom. That leaves us in a much, much smaller bedroom where our bed takes up about 90% of the room, but that's okay. What more do we need but to sleep in our room? The kids, on the other hand, now have a great place to play ane hang out. Evie referred to it yesterday as, "the other living room, where my bed is." Perfect!
Evie's new BIG big girl bed with her little big girl bed underneath - it looks so small now!

Here's a glimpse of Felix's side of the room. We'll work on getting some more decorations up over the next few weeks... months... years.

We had to make sure that the house all got put back together Saturday because Sunday was Liz's birthday and celebration. She made two cakes - carrot and german chocolate. Mmm, yum!

Nearly evertbody went for seconds.

The kids came back Sunday from Oma and Opa's, and Felix had a special birthday present for Mama - he has the chicken pox! It turns out to be a very mild case, which is often what happens when babies get it before their first birthday. He has had no fever and fewer than twenty pox. There is a chance that he'll get it again in a few years, but only time will tell.
Our little polka boy. It got slightly worse after this, but not much!
