Yesterday Aunt Sherrie was nice enough to have family home evening at her house. It was so fun! We went swimming and ate and then had a lesson. Her pool is just perfect! The kids had such a good time. Gracie got a little scared after 2 incidents where her head went under water but Allison loved it and so did Olivia.

Mom's can't be sick! It sucks! The other day I was coming down with a cold so I laid down on the couch. I closed my eyes just for a second . I woke up to this: toilet paper strewn all over the bathroom, a trail of goldfish crackers leading into Olivia's room, Allison's drawer contents dumped on the floor, Livie with a dirty diaper, and the remaining contents of a jar of animal cookies dumped out and replaced with a stuffed beaver. Weird. My head was pounding but I couldn't help but laugh. Mostly because I know what goes around comes around. And someday! Oh someday they'll be little mommies and I can laugh at what their kids do. I can't wait!

We bought Olivia a cute little toddler bed. She was so excited! She pretended to help me put it together. I am amazed that she will actually stay in bed at night. I knew that she was ready to be out of her crib but I was a little apprehensive about the change to a big girl bed, so a little toddler sized bed was a good alternative. Liv seems to love her new found independence!




Olivia's New Bed!

Any tips on how to civilize an 18 month old little girl would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
