So much for that

Piper made it on the crib mattress for maybe 4 hours on Sunday night and then came to bed with us - want to say crowded? Last night Matt just gave up when she came to our bed and put pillows all around the mattress and slept down there - poor Daddy :) Tonight we will move the twin bed back upstairs but still give her the option if she wants to try sleeping on her own it will just be more comfortable for Matt when he gets kicked out of the big bed - again, poor Daddy :)

Happy Memorial Day!

I realize that Memorial Day isn't technically until tomorrow but I have pictures to share today. We put up a our little pool on the deck for the girls to play in - it was almost 3 hours of water fun :) Sorry, picture heavy today. Violet hasn't been feeling the best lately so it was really nice to see her having such a good time.

Did I mention the DeLuxe Bubble Gum Ice Cream???



And here is our little dare devil - Matt hasn't seen these yet :)





There may or may not be really exciting news at the zoo tomorrow - well good news for Matt since he might get to sleep in his bed again. Piper has taken a liking to her crib mattress (that she has NEVER used) and even slept there today for her nap! I will update in the morning...

Getting Better?

In February I posted about a Lunar Eclipse and I knew that the shot was pretty bad but I wanted something to remember that night by. A few days ago we had a full moon so I decided to drag the tripod outside and try to get the moon again. Personally I think that the result is far better but that is only the eye of the beholder perhaps.

The case of the missing lovey

I wasn't able to take the girls for a walk yesterday b/c we were busy doing other things so last night after we got back from the grocery store and I remembered we had a movie due back I thought it would be a good idea to walk to the movie store. It was about 6:50 pm when we left the house which is just about the girl's bedtime so I decided to give Violet her blanket to take with us. What was I thinking? We returned the movie and visited a new ice cream shop that just opened. Just when we sat down to eat I noticed the missing blanket - panic hit b/c all I saw was a fussy babe all night long without her lovey. We retraced our tracks but found nothing. Sigh. By the time I put the girls down it was after 9 so they fell right to sleep and then I got back up to make signs. Matt found this very humorous that I would make a sign that said "lost purple blanket xxx-xxx-xxxx thanks" He hung them at every main intersection for me though (thank you thank you thank you). Last night we had a troubled babe so today I was going to try and replace the blanket but now I don't have to! That's right, our signs worked and a very nice lady called today telling me that they found our blanket last night and brought it into their home which is why we couldn't find it! Yeah!

This summer is going to be fun!!

We turned on our irrigation system the other day to the delight of our girls. We were in a horrible drought last year so they didn't run and we won't run them too much this year either but when we do those girlies will be out there playing for sure! It is a child's dream - multiple sprinklers to run through!
