I've Got Pictures

Annalise convinced Robyn to try sleeping in the closet again. She made it so nice and comfy that Robyn ended up sleeping there all night. Instead of closing the closet door they made a door out of a Playhut tent.


The next night they ended up in Annalise's closet. Her closet is long so there was one girl on each end. Robyn was still comfortable but Annalise not so much. She's just too tall to fit in the space comfortably. I didn't get pictures of that because when I got the camera out the next morning Annalise refused to let me take a pictures. I think the teenage moodiness has already started.

Thought I'd Share

Yesterday Robyn discovered her closet. Well, she's always known of her closet because it's where she dumps out all her shoes on the floor. What she's discovered it how much fun it is to play in. When I was a little kid I would set up a reading space in my closet. I would bring in a lamp (it's amazing nothing caught on fire) and would spend several hours reading in my secret space. So I think it's really cute to see her playing in the closet. Last night she decided she wanted to sleep in there since Annalise was spending the night at a friend's house. Okaaaaay -- we let her figuring sometime during the night she'd end up in her bed and it didn't take long.

At around 9:30 we heard a little voice coming from her room.

"Mom, can I sleep in my bed now?"

Afterwards Jeff & I just laughed and laughed. Of course she can sleep in her bed. What made us laugh is the way she said it -- like we made her sleep in the closet. Kids! LOL

(Sorry no pictures)

Catch Up

This time of year it is always pretty quiet around here. There's no sports for the girls, no dance recitals, and just overall bad weather so we tend to stay inside and not do a whole lot.
Even with it being quiet, life has been stressful. But, we are pleased to announce that Jeff will have a job this next school year!
For all those who haven't heard, California is falling apart -- at least financially. As a result the powers in charge have decided that education needs to be stripped down. So, last month we have been super stressed with wondering what's going to happen next year. Many places are closing schools, raising class sizes, getting rid of extracurricular activities -- well, you get the picture. Now I'm not happy with all that's going on, but I am thankful that my husband still has a job. I'll just have to fight one battle at a time. :)
Just thought I'd add a couple recent pictures. Here's a picture of my little girl at her preschool teddy bear parade. If you look closely at the box she's dragging behind her there is a teddy bear in there.

Here's another picture for good measure -- just being goofy! For some reason my girls love playing with the laundry baskets or boxes, it doesn't really matter it's all good.
(**Update -- it looks like Jeff will be at the same school. Yeah!)
