Big Girl Bed, Big Boy Bed, & BYU WINS!!

Pretending to Sleep

It is the turning of the page at the Bowen house. Paris moved from her toddler bed into her new Big Girl Bed (i.e. the queen bed that was in the guest room). Marshall has learned how to climb out of the crib so we needed to move him into a bed. We decided that having a guest bedroom wasn't really worth it (it really only got used when my mom was visiting ~ she now lives here, and other people maybe 2 other times a year.) So we figured we might as well take advantage of what will be the best for our family. If we do get guests then Paris will just give up her bed for the night and sleep in Marshall's bedroom. I do eventually want the kids to share rooms, but I am not willing to do that until the baby will be sleeping well. So maybe around 2ish I think. So for now each of the kids will have their own room and mommy will get more sleep (OK I realize it is just wishful thinking but I have to have hope before the baby comes, right? Anyone that knows me understands my love of sleeping and how much I truly enjoy my time catching my Zzzzz.)We just moved the toddler bed into the nursery for now. Casey is going to get Marshall's room painted before we move him into his room. We are thinking of going with a couple of intermingled themes. I think the paint will be Disney Cars red & blue (so bright red & blue) and then one wall BYU blue. Then just do Disney Cars, cars, trucks, fire engine, Bob the Builder, Thomas the train, BYU flag, etc... decorations. He really loves all those items and making it a bunch of different themes means I can bargain shop easier. Plus he gets the things he really likes. What do you think?

BYU beat Washington in football on Saturday 28, 27. It was a really close game that we should have put away numerous times but at least we came up with it in the end. The 2nd to the last play of the game Washington got a celebration call ~ 15 yard penalty. Which really sucks for them, but there are lots of calls that you like or don't like. It is just the way football is. Then BYU blocked the 35 yard extra point to win the game. We really need to step it up for next week, but at least we won the last 2 weeks. Paris also insists on wearing her BYU cheerleader outfit anytime a game is on. She is a great cheerleader cheering, "Go Go BYU" & "Touchdown". Even Marshall is getting in the game. With the touchdown signal, clapping, and saying, "Go B...". So yes we are starting them early. GO BYU COUGARS!!
