Up until recently, the four of us have all been sleeping on the upstairs level of our house. Hubby and me in the largest bedroom, and each of the girls in one of the two smaller, conjoined rooms. Last weekend we, Hubby, myself and Gracie, decided that she was ready to have her own big girl room. Oh, and Hubby and I were ready to reclaim our master bedroom on the main floor of our house. You know, the room where all our stuff is. We spent all day Saturday rearranging furniture and belongings and clothes. Here is Gracie new room...
We bought chocolate brown suede curtains to match her (which used to be our) duvet cover, a new bright pink shaggy rug, and really cute striped sheets.
Her dollhouse now has a proper home instead of being in our hallway.
And she has a closet big enough for her clothes plus all her toys. I'm happy to report she's doing very well sleeping in her new room.
Friday afternoon our friends called and offered to take the girls overnight so we could have a night out. Did I mention that these friends have two small children of their own? Brave souls. We weren't sure how a sleep over would go with a four year old and a two year old, but these friends live close by and it wouldn't take long to go get them if we had to, so we decided there wasn't much to lose by giving it a shot! Hubby and I went out to dinner, hit a few stores, went to a movie, slept uninterrupted all night, and slept in until 9 on a Saturday morning. It was so nice!
The girls had a blast too! They set up a tent in the living room and had a camp out with flashlights and smores. At bedtime they went down well and slept all night. Of course, they didn't go down until after 11:30 and were up around 7, but I still call that a success! Thank you Lord for generous friends!
