Big Kid Beds...

Today we upgraded to "big kid" beds... (really toddler beds)... and this was not planned at all! I wrote a post a while back about having 4 cribs in my house... and I was going to keep it that way as long as possible. Well I did keep it that way as long as possible.


The kids have been doing a lot of jumping in their cribs. Well today during nap Noah snapped his bed frame into two pieces. So we were kind of forced.... forced in we went to target and bought beds... because sleeping with us is NOT an option. It wouldn't only be Noah in bed with us it would be both of them.. and just NO! Can't do it.





Technically only Noah needed a bed, but if you know anything about twins just getting him one would not have worked. So we got two new toddler beds. I wanted to go from crib to twin bed.... but didn't want to dish out the cash for twin beds right after Christmas... and I would rather get them "real" beds when we are in our forever home.


We didn't get the beds built under almost 11pm... so we will see how this pans out. Really I am not ready for the whole get out of bed whenever you want thing... but it is what it is.

The zoo!

 We have a zoo membership! It pays for itself in two visits... So it just makes sense. We don't go all the time but every few months... The last time we went was in August right before I went back to work.

It is so neat to see how much P and N have grown since their last visit. Each time I notice how stimulated they are... And how much more they notice and comprehend between trips. 

This Saturday they had a great time. It was a great trip because it wasn't too cold but it was not crowded at all. 

Presley and Noah talked about each animal and noticed things that Mike and I probably wouldn't have. 

One thing that happened that was so funny... we were looking at the giant tortoises and they were inside their little house thing because it was too cold for them and in the mist of the huge tortoises there was also a huge poop. I commented on how big it was to Mike... shortly after Presley noticed and said in the sweetest little voice "oh my God!" 

It was so funny to hear her use that saying in context. we laughed so hard she  got mad and said stop mama, stop dada! 

\That night when we got home we had a conversation with Presley know before bed about the zoo baby cat the visit and talk about each other's favorite thanks Noah said his favorite thing was the birdies Presley said her favorite thing was feeding him they determined that my favorite thing was the zebras and daddy's favorite thing was the two black bears it was so cute.
