Moooonday!
OMG, another entry! So unlike me to be writing like this, but good too. Since I have to write daily elsewhere, I find myself venturing over here also to write. I have been told by a few that this diary is there only way of knowing what’s going on with myself, the kids, our lives, so I am glad I’m finding the time to write more. Well, making the time.
As I type this, Katherine is laying in my nap nearly asleep. She’s been quite the cuddle bug lately. Alyssa is in her bedroom watching a movie, almost ready for bed. She has had a cold for these last few days, there seems to be quite a heavy summer bug floating around. Thankfully she’s the only one that has gotten it so far, and hopefully will be the only one.
I am so grateful I bought this van. I absolutely LOVE the roll out seats, although I can do without having to remove those suckers again. Tonight, yet again, I hauled them out in preporation to haul the bunkbeds over to the new owners house. They fit perfectly, with LOTS of room to spare. Tomorrow morning I drive to Renton to pick up a beautiful pine bookcase. It has six adjustable shelves, Jonah will be thrilled!
Jonah tends to be completely engrosed into medical books, although I wouldn’t be surprised now that he’s reading even stronger that he’ll start diving into history books too. These books he ends up with though are thick and normal textbook height. They don’t fit in normal shelves. We’ve had an issue with his excyclopedia books not fitting, although he’s made sure they’re well hidden so his sisters can’t find them. He’s asked about a book case, and has been extremely patient as his books are transferred from the top of the shelf, to a box, to under his bed….. now, he will have a bookcase. And in addition, I will have a place to put my own books also.
The girls love their room and their new sleeping arangements. They also now have a TV for their kid movies or Jonah’s video games when he gets back. As all parents do, they continue to search for the key to keep things in order. My hope this way, is now that the girls room is organized and simple, it’ll be easy for them to keep it clean. In addition, toys stay in their room and not allowed to come out. We’ll see how it goes.
I’m excited to finish getting Jonah’s new room put together, and certainly before he arrives home Saturday. He is still sharing the room with me, persay – my items will still be in there, although it will be his own room. Me? I get the livingroom. I absolutely LOVE the loveseat hide-a-bed I have now. It is soooo comfortable! I’m pleased. He will have his computer in his own room, finally, with a BUNCH of new educational games downloaded onto it. They are completely fascinating and very in debth. He will not have internet though.
That’s it! For this lovely Monday night 😛
Off to lay this near 2yo child down, in hopes we don’t have a repeat of last night. She got a crazy wind of energy at 3am – ugh! LOL
