Well things have been crazy around here lately. Sorry for the lack of updates! I am sick with a cold right now and it is taking everything I have just to stay awake during the day-lol. With all of my nesting, we have been experimenting with the kids' bedrooms and I *think* we have finally come up with something that works to get the kids to bed at night. They all have their own separate bedroom. We tried putting them all together which worked ok, but the twins are just too wound up at bedtime and think it is playtime. There was only so much we could take. We had a queen bed and a twin bed in there. Hudson was in the twin bed and the twins shared a bed like they normally do. We then tried to separate the twins with the beds and had Hudson sleep in the queen with Bridger and had Ryder sleep in the twin bed. That didn't help or work. The twins got up at 5am yesterday and Hudson was back in his twin bed. So...last night, I bribed Hudson to move downstairs and then put each of the twins in their own room upstairs. Everyone went to bed, it was quiet and we were asking ourselves why we hadn't separated the twins earlier! It was like a lightbulb went off.

We also have been talking about moving again. We are looking into it and we will see what happens. I am 29 weeks and so we might be calling it a little close. Only time will tell if we end up staying here or moving before the baby comes. Either way, we will be fine. We have been redoing the house anyway and have bought new furniture and things to make this place really feel more like home. Nesting has been really good for that!

We got out all of the baby things this last weekend and I need to start going thru it to see what we are going to need. I am curious since the twins were born in the middle of the summer and Bentley will be here in the middle of winter. I think we will be set though-we will probably just need more long sleeve onsies. I found an adorable crib set from Restoration Hardware that I am SO excited for. Here is the link to it. I am really into the chocolate brown and blue combo this time. The crib sets we had before got completely worn out by the twins, so it is kind of fun to get something new. Plus, chances are that the next baby will be a boy too ;).

The kids are still doing great with school. They are very excited for Halloween. I am hoping to get Christmas at least 90% done by the end of the month. It will be nice not to have to worry about that. Jayson starts school again this week. One of his classes is a photography class, so he is excited about that. I am so glad that he loves school and is doing so well. Hope you all have a great week! Here are some pics from the kids' Western Day at school a couple of weeks ago. They had a great time and it was fun to visit their classes.
