Just Laugh!

Sometimes in life you just have to laugh. For instance, when soon to be two year olds transition to toddler beds and end up with tubs of Vaseline all over themselves and the carpet while they are supposed to be taking a nap. After 1.5 hours of trying to get Emma and Addison down for a nap I thought, “Oh good! They are settling down.” After hearing two little voices whispering to each other I knew something was up. Here is what I saw upon entering their room. It has taken me 4 hair washing to get most of the Vaseline out of their hair. Today is their picture day at school, and I think they are going to look a little greasy! 

This photo is a little dark, but you can see the sheen of Vaseline on Emma's hands and leg.

Light on, blinds open, very GREASY Emma

Addison looking pretty proud of herself!

Ha Ha Mommy! Look what we did!

Let me just say that I had no intention of putting them in toddler beds this early. I wanted to wait until they were 2.5 or 3. Those little rascals were just determined to get out of their cribs. For several weeks now I would go in and one of them would be dangling their legs and hanging on for dear life with their hands. So Brian and I said it would be irresponsible for us to risk another broken leg. Now we are sacrificing their sleep! I’m sure it will get better once the excitement wears off.  I removed everything except their dresser and their glider. Just pray they don’t try to climb on top of that next!

These pictures turned out a little blurry. I think the camera was on the wrong setting. I made these dresses!

Emma had to demonstrate her nose picking skills!

I said, "Wave to Daddy!" Emma still picking her nose!

And here they are in the middle of presents. Emma had to try out the ride on toy! They had so much fun.
