Sleepover in the Playhouse and a Big Girl Turns Two!

The Ontario Gramma and Grampa recently repainted the playhouse in their backyard. Last weekend Caitlyn and her Daddy had a sleepover. As you can see the air mattress we have took up almost the entire floor space, but it left just enough room for a table to hold our popcorn and books (Dora, Mercer Meyer, Barenstain Bears and Obama). We went there at 8:00 pm and after about twelve stories had to go back inside for a pee break. Got back to the playhouse, read three more pages and our little big girl was fast asleep. Daddy read his Obama autobiography and then turned off the light. Caitlyn woke Daddy up at 9:30 the next morning eating popcorn and had a huge smile on her face. I think she had a fun time with her Daddy. I know that I had a great time with her!
Playhouse has four working windows with blinds and an outlet on the back to plug in an extension cord so that the lights and fan work.

When we were in Winnipeg last month our camera broke and we have not taken it in yet to see if it can even be fixed. Here are a few pictures we managed to take of Hannah's Second Birthday. This gift was from Mommy and Daddy its a shelf with nine bins that hold her various toys and books in her room. Hannah like to clean up her room every night.

Caitlyn helping her 'little' sister. As you can see from the bluriness and the 'lines' our camera does not work properly. Luckily we were about to get these few pictures!
By the way, we decided that since Hannah's much younger male cousin on Daddy's side got to change to a 'big boy bed' we would try Hannah in her 'big girl bed. Luckily for us, her playpen converts fairly easy to a daybed by lowering the mattress and removing one of the side rails. She seems to enjoy her "new" bed and she does stay in it all night. She did roll out of it once during the second night, but she went right back in under the covers and we didn't hear form her until the morning. We're not sure if Hannah realizes that she can actually get out of her bed now by herself which is very good for Mommy and Daddy. She enjoys waking us up at exactly 7:00 am on the weekends by yelling (we still have the monitor on in her room) "Daddy where are you?" When we go to her room, Hannah is just sitting in her bed waiting for us.
Take care for now everybody- Hopefully we can get our camera fixed to get more pictures uploaded here soon! J&A

Great pictures! So glad you liked your sleepover Caitlyn. What a fancy house!
Hannah - sure wish we could have been there for birthday #2. Maybe we'll get there next summer for #3.
Love you all lots!

I started wondering there at the beginning what kind of children's stories you were reading to your girls...Obama? Glad you cleared that one up. :)

Those big bed transitions...that is hilarious that she hasn't figured out she can get out. I love it!
