Whew!

It's been a while, huh? Almost a year and a half, to be more specific.

Well, mommy needs to get back to her creative outlet. These little ladies (yes, I have two now!) are wonderful, but my brain is getting a little mushy from the day to day life as a stay at home mom.

Our summer was wonderful (mostly because daddy, who is a teacher, was home with us), but now that we're settling back into our life here in NYC, things are rough. We're not sleeping well, eating well, or playing well. It's just hard. And boring. There, I said it, being a stay at home mom can be boring. I sometimes feel like I may rip my hair out with frustration and I practically cry with joy when I get to be around my adult friends. So I've finally admitted that I need some part time help, and hopefully that will help me to really enjoy this crazy ride of motherhood.

P starts nursery school on Wednesday and I am so excited for her. But man is there a lot I need to do before then. Yikes!

So, to get to the good stuff, I wanted to tell you about the room we've made for the girls. Yes, we're trying to have them share a room, but L (the baby) gets up at 5am and P needs to sleep until at least 7am. So as I write this, L is asleep in a little pack n play in our room and P is in the big bedroom all to herself (you see, this summer we switched the rooms around so the girls would get the larger of the two bedrooms and we'd have the little bedroom). Hopefully the sleep issues will improve sometime soon and mommy and daddy can have their room back.

In the meantime, here is the fantastic bunk bed that should be arriving for P and L any day now:



L won't be sleeping in it anytime soon, but it's cute, no? Ours has a twin bed on the bottom, and our sheets/blankets will be quite sweet. I'm getting into decorating their room. Oh, and the walls are blue. We didn't want anything too pink and girly...
