Rebecca's new room

Well first I'll start with Saturday. Jimmy's 30th birthday is today, and he happened to be on his five days off this weekend....so I planned a little surprise for him. About a week and a half ago I, along with numerous friends, started making plans to keep Jimmy out of Woodland for the day until it was time for the surprise. We had it at the firehouse, and if you know Jimmy you know that he practically lives there. So the first thing I had to do was get him out of town for the day. I asked him last weekend to please go with me to clean cottages. He VERY reluctantly said yes, which was perfect! Phase one complete! One of his buddies reserved the building for me starting at 5:00 so if we were to come home early he wouldn't go up there. Phase three...Vickie called us sometime that day and asked if we wanted to come over and cookout and then go out somewhere b/c they had no kids (all part of the plan). Of course Jimmy said yes, so on to the next phase. We went over to the Soper's and they had fixed us an awesome dinner. We ate and hung out until it was time to go. Then we all piled in the car and headed to "Jimmy's Bar", but we had to make a "pit stop" because someone at the firehouse "wanted Vickie to stop by". Last phase...she goes in, stays a few minutes, comes out and tells the guys that one of the firemen wants them to come in for a few minutes. We all get out of the car, walk in to the firehouse and SURPRISE!!!!! Although, I don't think he was all that surprised. He said he had a feeling, until Vickie got out of the car and left it running, then he thought, "Naw, it's nothing." But when she came back out to get us, he was definitely thinking it then. We had a great time and I owe a lot of people a great big Thank You for all the help. It took a lot of us to pull this off.

Ok, now to the bedroom. All three girls have been sharing a room for a while now, and have been playing musical beds for just as long. Hannah has been the only constant, staying in her bed and her bed only. The other two shuffle from here to there every night. The main reason why is because all we've had is Hannah's double bed, a toddler bed, and the crib. The crib was Rebecca's and it's the type that turns into a double bed like Hannah's. Sunday night after much fussing over who was sleeping where, Jimmy decided it was time to make the change. So off we went Monday morning in search of a mattress and new bedding. As soon as we got home we had to take the crib apart and clean the headboard and footboard. By the time the bed was put together Hannah had already kicked Leah out of her room. Leah's toddler bed was sitting in the hallway!! Poor Leah! So we moved her to Rebecca's room. And now everyone is happy...Hannah has her own room, Rebecca finally has her own bed, and Leah at least has one sister that will share a room with her!

This is Jimmy and I cleaning away.

That night we gave Rebecca her birthday present...and purple Hannah Montana guitar. That's what she had been wanting. Now her and her sister can play together alongside daddy! (Anyone know where they can get lessons????)
