Toddler Bed and Mother's Day

We have moved Ellasyn to a toddler bed and the crib has been taken down. 

I used to say that I would keep her in a crib until either, 1. she could not fit, or 2. we needed it for another baby.  Well, neither of those things happened, but it just felt like the right timing.  We found a great deal on the bed we liked and it matches her 50's mod furniture pretty closely. 

The first night was a success. Actually every night has been successful... It is nap time that is challenging. Since the sun is still up and all.  Black out curtains can only do so much! 

My parent's came up for a visit, making my Mother's Day weekend a little extra sweet.  We went out for donuts Saturday morning, went shopping in the afternoon , and took Ellasyn to play her first round of Putt Putt that evening.  She had more fun running on the greens, dancing to the music, riding her golf club like a broom and chasing everyone's golf balls. She is such a silly little goose!

Here are some pics of the weekend happenings:

~ E loved all the concrete "ah-mohs" ~

~ Making sure Papa is counting all his putts ~

~ My two most favorite people in the world! ~

~ I had to add this one, so you can see what a goofball she is ~ :)



~ Be happy! ~

~ She loves her "boo shoos" from Papa! ~

~ Reading the "Hungy Pah-poh" with Marmee ~

~ Having a little imaginary snack with her puppy ~

These are from last week... but I had to add them, too. She loves to wear her rain "boose" and it finally rained so we got to go out and play a little.  She enjoyed splashing in the little puddle that was on top of this boulder.  She kept saying "Wah-ooh, wah-ooh"  (water) and "spash"!

Happy Mother's Day!
