Catching up...


Well, given that I haven't had time to blog in an eternity...I'll spend this post trying to catch up! Grace and her kindergarten classmates celebrated the 100th day of school last Friday. They each dressed up like they were 100 years old. She looked ADORABLE!! She was so excited about her "old lady" clothes and accessories!
We have also recently had our own version of "Trading Spaces" in the Milder house. Thomas and Mandy switched bedrooms. This way she and Grace can share the Jack and Jill bathroom and Thomas has his own. Thomas and Grace both got new bedroom furniture and new bedding. Thomas now has a complete Rock and Roll bedroom. Not surprising given his affection for Elvis! The bed he chose is a loft bed with a futon couch on the bottom. His own couch and bathroom...I think if he had a refrigerator in there he'd never come out!

Grace has new girly furniture and horse bedding. Gretta came and spent the night the first night!


And...it's official....we have taken down the baby bed!! Woo HOOOOOO!! It was such a memorable moment I felt the need to take a picture!


That's right...all three Milder munchkins are in big beds! I was concerned about how Mandy would transition given that she has always been such a great sleeper in her crib. Why mess with a good thing...ya know. But she has done GREAT. She goes to bed in her "Big girl bed" just like she did in the crib. She doesn't even get out in the morning when she wakes up. She still hollers for Thomas to come get her!

In addition to a new room and a big girl bed, Mandy had her first haircut! I took her to Nana's house because I wasn't sure she'd sit still for someone she didn't know.



It had gotten so long in front that she was having trouble seeing. We didn't realize until after we had it cut that we couldn't see her face!She was so proud of it after it was all done. I ended up having to hold her for the actual cutting part.

The kids and I drove to Austin and met Scott this afternoon. We visited with mom at their apartment for awhile and then drove on down to San Antonio for the weekend. Scott has some sort of meeting here in the a.m.

Well, that catches us up for now! I'll try to post some pics of us in San Antonio tomorrow.

Blessings,

Leslie
