Touchdown!

We moved the girls into their new room on Saturday and settled them in for their nap.

And the giggling started almost as soon as I closed the door.

Eventually, we moved Emily into the playroom (where we set up her old bed for this exact reason) and both girls went immediately to sleep.

Saturday night at bedtime was the same thing. Lots of giggling, lots of getting out of bed, not much sleeping.

I moved Emily back into the playroom and put her back in her room when I was on my way to bed.

Sunday for nap we had still more of the same.

BUT, Sunday evening Emily fell asleep in her room with Lucy. And both girls slept until almost 9 am this morning!

Emily voluntarily moved to the playroom this afternoon for nap. I think Lucy is too awake and too chatty for Em to fall asleep during the day.

But again, they both fell asleep at bed time without too much trouble. Mike and I had to go in there a couple times and remind them that they should settle down, but we're clearly making progress.

I went with Mike's mom yesterday to Target and bought the bedding I wanted. I put the quilts on tonight and they look super cute. Mike and I worked on organizing the playroom a little more tonight. I need to figure out what to do with the girls' hampers. There isn't much room in their room for both hampers and I don't want to mix their laundry together (the sock sorting would be the death of me) nor do I want to put it in with our laundry (It's silly, but I do a load of whites, a load of colors, a load of darks, a load of towels, and a load for each kid each week. It works for me.) Right now the solution is a pile of dirty clothes on the floor and that's just not going to cut it. Lucy WILL start wandering around with Emily's dirty underwear and that's just ... no good. I'll probably just wedge them into the room somewhere and live with it.

I also need to work on combining the two closets into one. Both closets tend to be a catch-all for the things I don't want to deal with and that just isn't going to work in this case. I'll figure it out eventually.

Mike had a productive Saturday, working on the bathroom. He completed the demolition, with the exception of removing the linoleum from the floor. My dad will arrive from Michigan this week and hopefully construction will begin in earnest. It's so exciting!

I'll post pictures of the new rooms when I get every thing just so. Hopefully later this week.
