Dress-Up

Why do I think it is funny to dress my daughter up as a pirate?

Easter 2010

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Ours was pretty wonderful! There is something so delightful about eggs at Hannah's age that made the whole holiday exciting.

Japanese Gardens

So I know you are probably expecting an Easter post but I am way behind on posting so instead of Easter we are doing Spring Break.
We went to the Japanese Gardens one day on Spring Break with My mom, Brother Eric and Sister-in-law Carleen and had a blast! We tried to go to the Zoo but evidently everyone in America thought that Thursday, March 18th was the only day the Zoo is open (it is open 365 days a year). So we ended up at the Botanical gardens which Hannah enjoyed just as much.

Most of these photos (maybe all) are curtosy of my talented Sister-in-law Carleen.

Big Girl Bed?

So I have Hannah's big girl room about 90% done. She has slept in there for 4 nights and is doing great! Well, about the same as she did in the crib anyway. Here is sneek preview of the wall color. It is a beautiful turquoise blue, similar to Tiffany's.

The main problem with her new room is that she can't get in to the bed by herself.
So this is what I found around naptime today.

Who needs a big girl bed when you have a tent!

Hannah and Ethan

Hannah and Ethan are BFFs. Ethan lives next door to us and we love to play with him. The other day he hopped on this scooter behind her and I had to take a picture!

Big Girl Room Phase 1

So we are starting on Hannah's "big girl" room. She is moving to the larger bedroom and my sewing room/office is moving into the nursery. Here are some before pictures minus the sewing desk. It has been temporarily relocated to the dining room.
Hopefully soon I can post some decorating progress!

Did I mention that this is on a as cheep as possible budget? I will let you know what great finds I get and the fun projects that are in store.
