They sneak into Grandma's bed when we aren't looking:
Camille and Ashley are not good people to share a bed with, unless you like little toes and elbows in your ribs. Grandma is kind enough to share her room with them. They are supposed to sleep on little foam pads on the floor, one on either side of the bed. It takes a good hour of giggles, whining, crying, tantrums, and at least a dozen trips back into Grandma's room to get them to sleep. OR, Grandma lies down with them for 15 min. and they're gone!
Ahh, spring in Denver. Yet another violent weather mood swing, 77 degrees the previous day and we were at the park with friends, then... Unfortunately for me my car was parked outside this time and I had to dig it out of several inches of snow to go somewhere. My van is in Dallas, so Deb very generously lets me drive her Denali, and let me tell you that thing is HUGE! You can fit a lot of snow on the hood of a Denali, and it takes a serious wingspan to get it all off!
Nate is almost 7 months old, and getting better and better at sitting up. He babbles mama now, and dada, and loves to blow bubbles. He also enjoys sitting in his chair and smacking his hands on the counter. He hasn't been sleeping as much as I'd like though, we are going to work on that as soon as I am not sharing a room with him.
I sleep in Jenni's room downstairs, she was kind enough to move out for me. It is nice because it has an attached bathroom, and the closet is big enough to be Nate's room. Emma was roommates with Jenni in the sewing room, but last night she was fed up with our loud movie watching and after stomping out of bed to tell us she got no respect she moved to a bedroom downstairs.
Deb got a new puppy, which the kids absolutely adore, and they are a little terrified too, which I find hilarious. We had fun thinking up and voting on names. The girls liked "Snort" from "Are You My Mother." It was Camille's number 1 vote. We also voted on Scout, Fergie, Maggie, Juno, Sparkles (Camille's number 2), Sophie, and others. I think Scout is winning, but it's not official yet. Bash is obsessed with the dog and carries it around like a little dolly. She has to hug it at least fifty times before bed. Deb is almost as obsessed as Ashley, and has several doggie outfits already.
I guess I'll post my funny videos later, they are taking forever to load and I'm wasting precious sleep time.
