Lia continues to make us smile with cute things she says and the funny way she says them. There are a lot of 'w's in her words and "Look at my legs" can't sound any cuter than "Wook at my wegs". There are "woodles" too, which we like hearing, and sometimes more than one thing has the same sounding name- like "candles" could be referring to sandals, or handles (on the stroller) or just candles. "Pountains" could be fountains or mountains. Tonight, though kind of gross, but had us in stitches, was her questioning our main dish- the beef, in the gravy, for beef and spaetzle. She asked if it was chocolate, which was cute, and we told her no, it wasn't. So then, she says, "Is dat popos?" We laughed so hard. I'm sure beef and spaezle will never be the same at our dinner table.
These are shots of my snugglies after naps...they usually watch a show when they get up. Lia prefers to lounge on mommy and daddy's bed. We had fun today, celebrating daddy's birthday. They helped me make the cake this morning, and yesterday, we had wrapped up his presents. Ellie was so eager, she had to show him the present right away. They were really cute in the store picking out a card (a musical one, of course) and wrapping paper. We were in the party section, and Ellie was very adament that we had to have special plates for the cake (I had an idea to make Bill's favorite, a coconut cream pie, but was outnumbered), and she picked out "Cars" plates. We would have had the party hats too if they'd have had them. (Bill breathed a sigh of relief :) It was fun to celebrate together. When I talked with them to ask what we should get daddy for his birthday, last week, Lia said "an airplane". I thought that was really perceptive. We did incorporate her idea in a neat watch we found that had a plane on the band, and looked like the instrument panel on the face.
I had been working to finish the girls' room, but then changed gears to finishing the baby's. So now, I'm back in here, and finishing it up. Other than touch up paint in some places on the wall, I only have the tent fabric to redo, and it will be complete. It really has turned into a great space for them to play, and I'm really pleased with it.
This was the final touch in the baby's room- getting some hanging space in the baby's closet. Since there is so little storage space in our house, we really had to keep some in this closet for our things, so I incorporated a wall of shelves that went into the deep space on the left. To access that, and the storage space for us up top of the whole organizer (you can see the top in the next pic), plus the fact that the wall of the closet backs the laundry room and the dryer vent, etc, I had to get creative with including hanging space. Ta da! I had imagined up this design, and it worked! I was so pleased. It sits on one bracket, and hangs down to include a second hanging bar, and can be removed completely when you need to get at the shelves. I was so proud :) I told Bill that I could rent myself out next year... "Chick with a drill", and he says I'd need a byline- "She brings spackle." (Yeah, that is pretty handy stuff ;)
