A bed fit for our princess

Ok, So we got Rebecca a new bed. I know, it's like her 3rd bed frame.... but that was mostly due to Rory constantly harming himself on his frames. She just kept getting the ones he had that didn't work out. So we found this one for her. Best part, we paid $40.00. Yep, you heard right.... Forty bucks! It has a few spots that need touching up with paint, but all in all Rebecca loves it!

Holy 6th birthday Batman, it's a Batman birthday!

Good thing I took pictures of Rory's party, because I can't recall a moment of it! Rory had a great time. This evening when we were doing showers he turns and says "mommy, I love you and daddy so much for my batman party!" Translation= totally worth it! I froze batman and robin in blocks of ice and the kids had to "free them" they all seemed to love it, but in my head I saw it working much more orderly then how it really went down! I put little ikea bowls and water and before I could even say anything , 8 kids were all over the place pouring water everywhere!!! Next time I will work it out better ahead of time.
We are so grateful to everyone that came and really appreciate helping celebrate Rory's first big "kid" party. We adore each and every one of you!

Still a believer...


 


As the kids get older I know that they will start doubting certain things. But I am not ready for that to happen yet, so I am always looking for new little ways to keep the magic alive for the kids. Last night Dakota lost another tooth and we left it on the side table so that the tooth fairy would not have to wrestle an unconscious Kota to get said tooth. I have to say that this tooth fairy Dakota has is very nice. He wrote Dakota a little note and put it in a basket made out of a dollar bill. Dakota got up this morning and was SO excited! All I can say is The tooth fairy must be a fan of Pinterest like the rest of us! Dakota told me afterwards that he " thought it was just mom and dad trying to keep him happy and leaving him money, but that now he knew the tooth fairy exists because no person can write a letter this tiny!" I think we may have a bit more time of enjoyment with this one!
