What's "New"

We got new kitchen cabinets!  Not new new, but new to us!  Dan took a ton of hard work and time and transformed our cabinets from honey oak to simply white!  It brightens up our kitchen and we are both loving them!

 

 

Svea got a new bigger girl bed!  We always called the toddler bed her big girl bed so I guess this is the big big girl bed:)  It's still her original crib, but converts to all of these different types of beds. She really is loving it.  We put a body pillow under her mattress pad at night so that she is cocooned.  I can't believe she made it that long on her toddler bed, but she was finally starting to get towards the end of the bed.  This was needed!!!  She loved her new bedding too! 

 Ok, so this isn't new, but they sure are cute!

 They were talking to Elmo the other morning on the iPad.  This is definitely nothing new as Kieran has found a large toy chest to stand on in order to get up to the iPad in which he is not supposed to be on:) Typical day of trying to keep him off of a device.

We got a "new" trampoline.  Again, this is not new at all.  The neighbors bought it from a rummage sale about a year ago and were going to throw it away for city clean-up week since they got a brand new large trampoline, but they offered it to us first if we wanted it.  I cut-off the padding that didn't "pad" anything anymore, used pool noodles to cover the metal,  and sewed up a few small holes in the netting that would have grown larger had I not.  Svea has worn herself out the last two nights.  Kieran likes it too, but not when Svea jumps with him.  "No jumping Svea, stop it now"!  That's another "new" thing.  Kieran is talking in much longer sentences now too.  He's made a big jump in his articulation too! 

The kids are doing so many new things!  I am just itching to get home for the summer so that we can hang out and play!
