Vivian and Kate have been playing too much at night before they fall asleep. We're working on a solution. But one night I went in to check on them before I went to bed and kate was sitting up sleeping in the center of the bed. I can only wonder what they were talking about or playing right before she conked out. Vivian was smooshed up against the end of the bed to the left of Kate but I didn't want to share that picture because she could possibly get mad at me later for the embarrassment. Although I'm sure there are tons of things on this blog that could backfire on me later if they ever go back to look! :) love you sleepy playful girls! 

Thumbs up on the way to school...

Hank was patient with me last week as I spent quite a bit of time trying to undo all the Christmas decorations and get the house back to normal after I put everything in the basement. I have a hard time parting with Christmas cards though! They are one of my favorite things about the season. Speaking of Christmas, I will post pictures from the things we did during the month of December with family soon! I do have lots of pictures! 

I greeted the girls off the bus last week with a mug of hot chocolate. Trying to make the most of cold winter days!

I started potty training with Hank last Monday when the girls went back to school after Christmas break. 

It has been the easiest by far! I am so amazed at how quickly he caught on. 

I told Aaron that after Tuesday I didn't even feel tense anymore, nervous that he was going to have an accident. I just trusted that he wouldn't. 

It wasn't that way with Vivian and Kate at all! I did all three of their potty trainings at the same time of year, when they were all about the same age (right after Christmas). 

A couple of Saturdays ago, my mom treated us girls to a morning with the characters from Madeline's Christmas. The girls had already seen the play at the Roanoke Children's Theatre so they were anxious to be at this special breakfast!
