Sienna's 1st Pedicure!

My friend, Jackie, invited Sienna and me to go for pedicures on Super Bowl Sunday. I never turn down a pedicure, and I figured Sienna would have fun with her best buddy, Olivia! We went to a place at the Washington Square Mall that had 3 little chairs for the girls. How cute is that? I tried to get Sienna to smile in at least one picture, but she just wasn't cooperating. I asked her afterwards if she had fun, and she said she did.

My little "girlie girl", Sienna!

Pajama Party - Pictures & Video!!!

The Canby Alliance Church had a Pajama Party on Friday night! Chris' mom, Jeri, invited Sienna and me and then we invited Sienna's best friend, Olivia! At the party, they had different stations set up for painting nails, braiding hair, dressing-up, having a tea party and for decorating a picture frame. Oh, and there was a huge area set up for the girls to dance, dance, dance!

Sienna had her hair braided first, but I forgot to take a picture. The girl who braided Olivia's hair did an AMAZING job!

The girls had SO MUCH FUN dancing together! It was shortly after 9pm before I could get them out of there!

Here's one of the videos that I took of the girls dancing:

Our "Broken" House...

Saturday morning we woke up to a lake in our kitchen!!! Sometime in the middle of the night, our Instant Hot Water Filter cracked and started spraying water, creating a lake in the kitchen AND in our crawl space. Of course, we had no idea how bad the situation really was until we had the mess cleaned up and noticed the hardwood floors weren't looking so great. We called Chris' buddy, who just so happens to be our insurance agent, and he got us in touch with ServPro, who was nice enough to come out on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, the guy wasn't full of good news. He discovered the lake in our crawl space and used his fancy water detector to figure out how far the water had spread...all the way under our cabinets and into the dining room. He set up a fan in the crawl space and an industrial fan/humidifier in the kitchen before he left.

Today they came back to vacuum the water out of the crawl space as well as set up a few industrial heaters/humidifiers. He also tested the humidity in the floors again and it had gone down quite a bit. If things keep improving, they won't have to take out all of our cabinets!!! We'll know more tomorrow or Wednesday if the cabinets stay or go! The one bright side of the whole ordeal is that we'll get all of our hardwood floors refinished 90 days after the floors are dry! All for the economical price of our $1k deductible!

Here are a few pictures of our quarantined kitchen and dining room!

For some reason, the kids felt the new location for the dining room table was an invitation to crawl all over it!

Sienna's New Big Girl Bed!!!

We finally got Sienna a REAL bed! She's been sleeping in her "toddler crib" (no front rail) for the last 1 1/2 years and is actually longer than the crib! We ordered the bed on January 4th and it just arrived on Friday! Sienna picked out the bedding set all by herself...

We purchased the trundle to go with the bed so that Brayden can sleep in her room when Grandma & Grandpa Macnab come to visit (they sleep in his queen size bed and he used to sleep in the toy room on the floor). I'm sure they won't get much sleep in the same room (they certainly didn't when they shared a room for 5 nights in Bend at Christmas), but they are certainly exited to have their first sleepover in Sienna's room!
