sharing a bed

The girls have shared a bed for many years. 

When they were too old for a crib, they each had their own twin sized bed.  But there were many a night that they would want their beds right beside each other.  There were also the times where we would check on them before we went to bed, to find that Emmy had crawled into bed with Kenna.  So, we put them both in a queen bed. 

When we moved to Quesnel, they both shared a queen bed too.  A couple of months ago, Kenna was saying how she couldn't wait to have her own bed and her own room.  Lucky for her, it worked out that in our house, she could have her own bed/room.  Well, I don't think Emmy was too keen on sleeping by herself, but I thought that I would respect Kenna's desires for her own room. 

Well, last night, John was tucking the girls in, I was doing something downstairs.  I didn't think twice about it but.. when I woke up this morning I went to go see if they were still sleeping.  Emmy's bed was empty.. so I went to check in Kenna's room.  They were sleeping smack dab together, right in the middle of Kenna's queen bed... and that was Kenna's request!  Oh, they are so precious.  They make me smile :)

Just a tease ;)

So.. we are moved!  We moved 2 loads on Friday, a week ago today.  The last load we moved on Saturday morning.  The house has 3 bedrooms up, 1 bathroom, and the master has a toilet and sink ensuite.  Downstairs, there is another bathroom that is not in service.  There is also a huge room which will be used as office, scrapbook room and play room.  There is a mud room which will house John's tools and our freezers, and the laundry room is downstairs.  There is also another bedroom downstairs but that is also not in service, as only 1/2 the room has carpet.  So we have lots of room for our MOUNDS of stuff.  I am ashamed at how much we have and how little of that we need. 
I am slowly getting settled in. The upstairs is basically done, but the downstairs has a ways to go before it is done being organized.  But a few things have to be done before that can happen, things that I can do nothing about!  So here are a few pics of our house.  I hope to do more soon.

The house is on 2 acres.  This pic is taken from our carport which is located at the left of the house (if you are looking at the house from the road).  So most of our property is there.. we are the last house on the road.  The previous tenants left alot of mess, so we have a few dump runs to make.  Fortunately, the dump here does not charge for household garbage!!!

This is the front of the house.  It is about  120 +/- feet from the road.  The window behind the tree is my kitchen window, the middle is the dining window, and the right top is the living.  Below that is the playroom window.

 Our driveway.. and yes, today is as soggy as it looks.  But I can't remember the last time it rained like this, so I am not complaining.  And tomorrow is supposed to be nice again!

 The kids play equipment... the trampoline is ours, or Kenna's as she likes to tell everyone.  The swingset has seen better days, but still gets used.  The kids LOVE the playfort and once John finds time to work on it, will LOVE it even more :)

 The one wall in the living room.  This wall, John and I agreed on the decor.  The other wall.. not so much. But that's a story for another day.  It ended up looking ok.

 My VERY yellow kitchen.. it's old but functional.  Gotta love the orange countertops.

Enjoy your preview. You are quite welcome to come see it in person :) we have lots of room for tent trailers, trailers, 5th wheels and whatever you have.  There's even room in the house for you.

Let me know what you think!
