Robert hung out with us today. We hit Bouncyland and had lunch at the mall. Then the kids had some downtime before we headed out to meet up with Jarrod, Jenn, Connor, and N at Moveable Feast for dinner. Robert and Molly apparently had a long day as they both passed out in the car and slept through dinner.

New bed, new bedtime routine

I must remember to fetch N when he puts Molly down...

My little helper

We had a board meeting after school today. Before things got started I was able to watch my little helper give a hand to a little one that is still mastering the art of walking. So sweet!

New big girl bed!

We got Molly the convertible crib with every intention of making it into a full size bed frame once she was big enough. Then she had her first sleepover before her third birthday and I realized that might not be the best solution. I did like the idea of her having a full size bed and wasn't sure I wanted to sacrifice that for a twin trundle bed. I kept pushing it off and casually looking. Then I noticed she was sleeping at an odd angle so her feet could hang off the opening from her toddler rail and knew I needed to kick things up a notch. In fact the last month or so we just put her mattress on the floor so she could hang off the end of her bed in a more comfortable fashion. She technically still fit on the bed, but she would always scooch down to the end of her pillow which caused her feet to hang off.

Just after Thanksgiving I found an awesome Captain's bed (full size) with a twin trundle underneath. The best of both worlds. It was finally time to break down her old bed.

The end of an era...

Moving her toy storage shelves over to the corner by her door. The glider is now in our living room.

Shelves are up and mounted to the wall...

So much space!

Molly watching the movers bring everything inside for assembly.

All done!

I think we might need to get her a ladder...

Snowshoeing doggies

Snowshoeing, day two

Another gorgeous day in Tahoe...

Frosty the Snowman

Molly really wanted to make Frosty in the snow. She was very clear about it being the actual Frosty (with arms and legs) and not just a snowman (with three balls). I wasn't sure I had the skills to pull this off, but it ended up being a non-issue as the snow was sooo powdery I couldn't even make a decent snowball. So I ended up making Frosty laying down... MUCH easier. I also had to be quick as the dogs were out with us and running around chasing each other... well, mainly Chai.
