5 o'clock dance party

This is classic Avery right here.  I have NO idea where she gets these moves! Wondering if that's what she learns every Tuesday night at dance class?

Click here to watch a 2:30 video of Avery dancing during our 5 o'clock dance parties at home

She actually was dancing to a Maroon 5 song (what can I say, she loves Adam Levine!), but Guster started barking in the middle of it.  So Adam edited this song on top of it and it just seems to work with her moves!

Updated kids rooms

At any given moment, this is generally what the floors look like in the kids rooms (or any room in our house for that matter!)
But one day recently, we cleaned up a bit and I decided to document it on film. Plus we've updated their rooms since my December posts showing their new wall colors.

So now, Grayson has some navy blue stripes on top of the bright orange (just on one wall though!)
Such a cute and cozy bed he has, but I don't even remember the last time he slept in it.  He prefers (and demands) the floor...sometimes in a sleeping bag, but most often he just pulls every blanket, pillow and stuffed animal he owns and puts it on the floor with him.
This is most often the bedtime scene in his room once he finally falls asleep...
the entire contents of his bed on the floor as well as the entire contents of his book bin.
We wake up to an empty book bin nearly every morning.

  Avery's update room includes small white polka dots (decals) on her biggest wall.  
Thanks to our generous families and Santa this year, she got a mirror, bookshelf, bedspread, chair, and toy box to complete the look. (The shelf is a hand-me-down from my coworker's daughter!)
It may be crazy, hot pink, but I have to admit-I kind of love it. Avery definitely loves it too! This girly girl is definitely rubbing off on her Mommy.  I even have a pink shirt or two in my wardrobe now.  

We still have a few more things to put on the walls (and maybe curtains eventually), but I'm sure their rooms will be the first completed rooms in our home. I'm also sure that our bedroom will be the last

Is that a ghost?

What is this shadowy figure you see?......
It's Grayson standing in the front window. It's his favorite place to hide and do his business.  We just can't get this kid to poop on the potty!
