Popsicles!

We've introduced Madeline to popsicles and no surprise, she LOVES them. We have found that the best way to eat them is outside and without a shirt (Madeline doesn't wear a shirt, the rest of
us keep our shirts on)









Anna Elise got bunk beds last week and she loves her top bunk! We put Madeline's crib under
the top bunk to save on space. It's a good layout - as long as we don't bump Madeline's head
on the way in and out of her crib. Hopefully she will be able to adjust sleeping in a bed on the bottom in a few months.

Calvin isn't three for another week but he has been SO three these past few weeks. He has
been naughty and when I ask him why he says "because I wanted to". He has spent a lot of time in his room, in 'time out', and has lost privledges. I will eventually find something that works!

Madeline is our little flirt! She smiles and ducks her head at everyone. She'll go to anyone. She just chatters away and talks to anyone who will listen. When we are in public she just looks for
people to smile at. It's a bit worrisome to have one that is too friendly.

We got our fence finished this week. The kids love it! I love being able to send the older two
outside and not have to go with them! We also enjoy the privacy. We should've done it earlier!

Cute pictures! I love how Madeline eats her popsicle without her shirt on. :) Kate will turn 3 in May and we've had those time-out moments too. But sometimes I wonder if it even works!

Cute, cute, cute! Any fall outs with the bunk bed?

Actually Calvin has fallen off the ladder a few times, but Anna Elise hasn't fallen or even come close.
The built in railings seem to be
tall enough to hold her in. Calvin
isn't allowed to play on the bunk bed so when he has fallen off the ladder it's been when he is trying to get down before he gets caught!

I am glad to hear that the rest of you eat your Popsicles with shirts on.
Cute pictures. Calvin looks older to me in that picture too.
