Dry

For the past several weeks, Campbell has woken up dry in the mornings. She is so proud of herself. So, we both agreed that when her pull ups ran out that she would start wearing panties to bed.

Last night she noticed that her pull ups were gone. Brent and I looked at each other with anticipation. Thankfully, she didn't even flinch at the thought of it. She simply put her pj's over her panties and went straight to bed.

Once again...she woke up dry!!

I am so proud of my big girl!

Happy Easter

The Dress

A couple weeks ago, a friend and I went out for some much needed mommy time. Our last stop of the day was at one of our favorite stores...Target! I found some of the most adorable matching Easter dresses for the girls. Unfortuntley, they didn't have any in Riley's size. So, I gone ahead and bought a dress for Campbell and ordered Riley's on line at Target.com

I was so excited when the package arrived this past Monday. (March 17th). Only to find out that they accidently sent me the wrong size. I was in a near panic because it was less than a week away from Easter. I was just about ready to send the dress back and use her back up dress (you have to have a plan B when small kids are involved), until Jamie brought it to my attention that I should call Target.com and see if they can overnight another dress considering it was an error on their part.

So, the following day I took her advice. I am so glad that I did because the customer service agent (Crystelle) was extremely helpful and courteous. Without hestitation she confirmed that Riley's new dress would definitely be there before Easter at no charge to me. WOW!

Sure enough, the UPS truck stopped at our house around 1pm today and handed me a package.

The Dress.

Not just any dress, the perfect dress!

I'll be sure and post some pictures of the girls in their matching Easter Dresses very soon.

All Aboard!

One day last week, Campbell told Nana that she wanted to get her picture made with the Easter Bunny. This came as a complete shock to us! We have never forced her to get her picture made with Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny because she can be a little timid when it comes to fictional characters. So, we made a big deal of it and decided to pick up daddy from work on his lunch break and spend some time with him at the mall.

She told us on the way there that she wanted to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap first and then ride the train.

While we were there we ran into one of our neighbors and her two kids. Campbell had her mind made up that she wanted to ride in the caboose with Sophia.

And that is exactly what we did!

I just love days like these......

Egg Hunt

Yesterday we had our 2nd annual neighborhood Egg Hunt. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Especially Campbell and Ida! They are definitely two peas in a pod. It's rare that you see one without the other. They have such a special friendship.

The babies had their own kiddie pool of empty plastic eggs. It was a big hit with Riley and the others in this age range. They seemed so content just being there while the older siblings were running around hunting for the eggs filled with the "good stuff".

Campbell can't wait until next year!

Pink Eye

I was just thinking last night that I didn't have anything to blog about.

Until this morning......

Campbell woke up with Pink Eye in her right eye. Honestly, it is a little gross because of all the discharge coming out of it.

When I called her doctor, he immediately called in a Rx. How convenient! Sometimes it is such a hassle to load up everyone to run errands. Especially for doctor appointments.

The best part, Ron (Diane's husband) picked up her prescription and brought it to me. I am extremely thankful to live so close to family!

Unfortunately, she had to miss a neighbor's birthday party tonight at Pump It Up. I think I was more upset than she was about it. She had been talking about Jacob's party ever since she received his invitation. Thankfully, Brent came up with the bright idea to take her to Pump It Up another day when her eye was better. That was good enough for her.

A Beautiful Day

The girls and I decided to go outside and enjoy the beautiful "almost" spring day. We were getting tired of being cooped up all winter and headed out to get some much needed fresh air.

Campbell was so happy to see Ida just shortly after we started our walk around the neighborhood. Everyone had a good time and played so well together. Even the babies were in a good mood too.

I wish it could be like this everyday!
