Without further ado...our new beds!



Well, the headboards are not new...we've been sleeping on those for years, but the mattresses are! We transitioned this weekend from our toddler beds to full size beds. The kids were so excited! They kept asking Terry "What are you making, Daddy? A box?" They were super excited to climb in and get tucked in as you can see...




...and before you knew it, they were fast asleep.




They look so tiny in those big beds...but there is now plenty of room for their sleepmates.

Hooray for new beds!

So...ummmm...hi! Thanks to all of my followers who have repeatedly reminded me how loooooooooong it had been since my last post. No, really...thanks. LOL. Despite my lack of posting, February was a pretty fun month. The kids have been extra cute this month.




From Olivia using "very" to describe everything...i.e. "It is very...wind" to describe the windy weather... to TJ asking Terry what time it was, the kids are speaking and expressing themselves so well. They have embraced a new cartoon, Team Umizoomi. So now the cartoons of choice are Team Umizoomi, Dora and Diego. We love love love to read with Eric Carle's 'Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See' still going strong after 2 years and Dora's Potty Book, Thomas the Train books and 'The Crayon Box that Talked' running ever so close behind in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots. We spent lots of time in these things for the past few months :(




I don't know what's going on but our Florida cold snap that usually lasts, oh...a few weeks, seems like it is never going to end. Unacceptable. LOL. We got new suitcases for our weekly (seriously) trip to see Gma and Gpa. Thanks Target, clearance!



The kids enjoy packing for our trips and carrying their own suitcases inside Gma and Gpa's house. It is so adorable. They are becoming more and more independent everyday.

We had a fun visit with Grandma and Granddaddy from Columbus.




It went too fast unfortunately:( Even though we are in separate Montessori classes, our twin bond keeps growing stronger. Thankfully.




We are saying our big kid prayers better and better everyday...




...and we have rearranged their toddler beds in preparation for the full size conversion that should be happening in the next week or so. We had a fun Valentine's Day gift/card/candy exchange at school...although I did not let them partake in actually eating any of the candy. I have enough energy to contain without the help of 10 days of sugar. They enjoyed taking the gifts/cards/pieces of candy out of their bags one...by...one...and saying "Look what I got!". It was pretty comical.




We had a pretty low-key Valentine's Day weekend that began with fun heart shaped pancakes that the kids loved...and a trip (surprise, surprise) to see Gma and Gpa.






Last weekend we enjoyed our first post season lazy weekend. We enjoyed having Daddy all to ourselves. Mommy was able to get some rest and the kids absolutely enjoyed using Daddy as a jumgle gym.


(And, yes, Olivia is wearing Christmas socks...)

Finally, the kids enjoyed "helping" Daddy put together a new bookshelf and easel for their playroom.







And that was our February in a nutshell!
