Playing Cowboy

Our playgroup went to see Cowboy Steve's Western Adventure at the Children's Theatre today. Nick loved that he could wear his western gear to the play. Ellie unfortunately was having a "2" kind of a day- had to have baby and a pacifier at all times and refused to wear her cowgirl outfit. Oh well! A good time was had by all (except El). Nick was even chosen to dance up on stage with Cowboy Steve, such a highlight!

Staying Warm

We took the kids to the Museum of Science and Nature on Saturday since the weather is still sub-zero here. Their favorite spots were the space shuttle simulator and the dinosaur bone dig.

The latest phase...

Both children are going through a dress up phase. Nick wears his Robin Hood costume 24 hours a day, although we do have a rule about not going to school wearing it. Ellie lives in her pink fairy costume during the day. She would love to sleep in it at night but we are fairly certain that the wand and wings will get in the way. My biggest challenge is getting both costumes washed and dried in time for the kids to wear the next day....

Our Big Girl!

Ellie spent her first night in a "big girl bed"! She loved being able to climb in and out all by herself and spent two hours exercising that option. We chased her back to her room several times after finding her running the hallway. Then she discovered the fun of opening her door and talking to her brother across the hallway. Nick thought she was hysterical, and unfortunately that didn't help us encourage her back to bed. Next she discovered she could drag every toy she owns into bed and play. Finally at 9:30 she passed out. Yeah!! One last picture of her actually sleeping and Paul and I were off to bed. We're keeping our fingers crossed for naptime....
