We are headed to St.Louis today for a mini-vacation. Woo hoo! I thought I'd do an update before we go because I'll have a lot to post about when we get back.
The kids got bunk beds last week. Someday I'll write all about how I put them together mostly on my own. Blaise kept falling out of his toddler bed because he didn't have enough room to move around, so we knew he needed a twin bed. We were planning to have the beds separated until Rae got older, but we decided she is such a careful, mature little girl and she'd be fine on the top bunk. And Blaise is afraid to even climb the ladder, so we don't have to worry about him getting up there. It's nice to have so much room in their bedroom. Oh, I just realized I don't even have a picture of the bunk bed yet, so I'll have to post it later.
We also bought the kids a toy kitchen. I just realized I don't have a picture of it yet. Man, I'm slacking on the pictures. Can I just say that I LOVE Walmart's site-to-store option? I've used it so many times - fantastic!
And yet another toy we got recently (umm, big tax return!) is a Tom-Tom! Woo hoo! I've wanted one forever (we get lost every time we go somewhere new) and with this trip to St.Louis I decided it was really time to get one. Luckily it was Amazon's Gold Box deal on the day I decided to get one! It was only $99! I'm in love.
Okay, I didn't mean for this to be a post all about the money we've spent recently! But there were a few things we've been wanting to get and the IRS helped us get those things. :)
Yesterday we spent the day doing spring cleaning. We went through all of the boxes in our closet and got rid of a ton of stuff. Whew, so nice to have that done! And then we finally organized our filing cabinet and got rid of a huge bag of papers. Can I just tell you that projects like that make me completely giddy? I've had to wait for Roy to help with both of those projects, so to finally have it done makes me feel so good! I like to know that everything in my closet, drawers, filing cabinet, etc, is stuff I actually need and I know exactly where everything is. Yup, I'm a little obsessed.
Anyway, we'll be back late Wednesday night and I'll post pictures of our adventures! I hope the weather cooperates!

Woo hoo! Have fun! Hope the weather is good for you!
Nolan was on a bunk bed really early in life, Rae will do fine! I set up the bunk bed just for kicks and he liked sleeping on the top!
Can't wait to hear about your adventures!
Hope you are having fun.
IRS money is awesome.
