Repainted Kitchen!

I have been hard at work repainting our kitchen.  We wanted an update from the 80's!  It has been taking a while to get everything done because of all the painting and priming.
After!  So beautiful!  It makes me so happy! 

Blah, before painting.



We have cabinet knobs now too!

Dr. Seuss and Spring Break

Jeffrey's school participated in 'Read Across America Week', by planning some Dr. Seuss activities.  The kids wore red, white and blue, then a color from the book 'My Many Colored Days'.  Jeffrey wore blue which represented kindness and peace.  The most exciting day was crazy hair day.  Here's Jeffrey's orange spiky hair, he really liked it!

Of course we don't need any motivation to read over here, every day is a reading day at our house!  Jeffrey has enjoyed checking out books at his school library too.  It is interesting to see what he chooses to bring home.  He brought a book about the Hindenburg home two times, and has been bringing home A-Z mysteries lately.

We had a low key spring break.  The kids had a fun time playing together, and a great time hiking with Daddy on the one warm sunny day.  We watched some movies together like Wall-E and the Hubble Telescope movie, with cheddar popcorn for a snack.  I am working on repainting our kitchen and assembling some new furniture I got from IKEA.

Over spring break we put the toddler bed in Meredith's room, and I got her a new star night light.  She loves her 'new' room and doesn't miss her crib at all, and she stopped waking up at night.  She's such a big girl now!
'I love my new bed!'
