And Other Things

I'm really behind on updating this, so there are several posts from today. Keep reading below this one to see what's been going on. Besides everything below, we've been having some fun things going on around here. We have had some beautiful weather lately, which has prompted some trips to the park. The kids enjoyed it, although my daredevil, Emma, was hesitant at first on both the swings and the slide. It must have been a while.

We have been continuing our movie/sleepover Saturdays. The kids recently found the princess bath toys that Emma got from Aunt Kelli and Uncle Rick for her birthday last year (they had been in our pool toys). This has inspired them to want to watch the princess movies that I've had for years instead of just the 'boy' movies. We've watched Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White now. I think The Little Mermaid might be next. The kids really enjoy getting to sit in the basement and have popcorn (we've also been watching a movie when we drive to P&G for diaper studies since we've been doing it weekly for a while now - gotta love free diapers). Since Emma moved into the big bed in her room, we have had two successful sleepovers and one unsuccessful sleepover. The unsuccessful one was when we kept the crib up and let Ryan sleep in it, but had to cancel it when there was too much running around. The next week, Ryan told Emma to stay in bed and she mostly listened. This past week, he told her the same thing, but she climbed in with him (we took the side off the crib to make it into a toddler bed). I just had to sneak in a take a picture of them sleeping together in there! Half way through the night, Emma moved back to her bed - they were tired afterward, but enjoyed it.

This week, we're going to Nana's house during spring break since Kris is travelling. This will be the first time they are sharing a room there. Should be interesting.
