Today
we Phil put together Payton’s big girl bed and new dresser. I had planned on doing this when she turned 3 (in a few months). But, after our friends Megan and Hayden turned his bed into a big boy bed it made me really want to go ahead and do it!!
So, yesterday after seeing a movie we went looking all over town for a bed. But, since I am impatient I wanted to be able to find it and take it home right then. We couldn’t find anything we liked. Came back home, then I was searching the internet… just about gave up then it hit me.. what about Garden Ridge??? I told Phil we could go eat at Red Lobster and use our gift cards and go to Garden Ridge… He said OK!!! Excited for Red Lobster… not Garden Ridge. :)
So we decided to get her a white head board, a mattress, a box springs, and new bedding!! This all came from Garden Ridge. After buying all that, going to eat, then coming home… I left Phil and Payton at home and I ran to Target at 8 o’clock at night. Found her a white dresser and bought her new purple sheets.
Now… onto our Sunday…… We spent the ENTIRE day working on her room. Literally…. it is 8:30 and I just got her in bed and that is because I just got done with her room. I cleaned out her closet and her drawers. Everything is so neat in there. (I have high hopes to cleaning out a couple other closets here too!!)
I will stop rambling and just let you look at pictures!
Working on the dresser
We skipped church today. But, after Geoff and the girls got out of church he came by to drop something off and I told him Parker could stay and play with Payton. Helped keep her busy while Phil and I were working on things.
They played inside for a long time and watched a movie.
Played in Payton’s bed
They played outside too!
After Grace’s nap they came over. Only he didn’t know he was going to be put to work. We had finished the dresser, but when Phil went to put the drawers in they wouldn’t go in right. So Geoff took it a part and put it back together. Long story short… it still needs to be worked on but I was able to put her clothes in it.
Also, he brought their white storage shelf thing like the one we have, only it it white. They aren't using it anymore so I asked if we could have it!!
Who says 3 can’t ride in the car?? :)
Grace kept pushing the gas petal and it was making Parker SO mad!
We ate an amazing dinner!!! Chicken and Beef fajitas!! All from the Mexican meat market! SO good!! Fresh flour and corn tortillas too! YUM!!
Finished!!!!!!!! Pictures aren’t the best but I had to take them with my phone because my lens wouldn’t let me get it all with my camera!

She was excited I guess you could say. Not as excited as I thought she would be. She didn’t really make a big deal about it. I guess she knows she is “BIG” therefore, going to the potty, having a big girl bed… well it doesn’t phase her!! Makes mommy kind of sad!! :( I hope to sneak in and take a picture of her sleeping here in a bit! We shall see!!
