Toddler Bed for Toddler Maeve!

-
Maeve decided it was time for her to get a big-girl bed this week.  She refused to sleep in her crib any longer and proceeded to make all of our lives miserable with tantrums, crying, and daring escapes until Dad broke down and pulled the toddler bed out on Monday night.  Maeve did great staying in her bed at bed time and nap time for the most part, but there were a few nights of a hysterically giggling little girl running down the hall in utter glee at her new independence when she should have been fast asleep in her snugly new bed.  Do you know how very hard it is to remain stern when you see how happily she is being naughty? :) Silly little girl. At least she knows her own mind and isn't afraid to let us know it!
Rebekah cracked me up yesterday.  I was asking what everyone wanted for breakfast, waffles or eggs and hash browns.  When I got to Dustin and Rebekah I got the same typical answer for this pair, "I don't know.  You choose."  When I complained that they never have an opinion on things, Rebekah corrected me soundly.  She declared from the floor of her bedroom surrounded by Legos, "Yes, I do to have an opinion on things.  I just don't know what it is."   What a great insight into my husband and my daughter.  They crack me up.  I'll never totally understand them, but I sure do love them.  :)

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
