Beds and the Beach

I think that I've made mention that our camera needed repairing. Well, last week I phoned a few repair shops and was told that since our camera is 'an older model' it would be much cheaper to simply purchase a new one rather than getting the old one fixed. We bought a new digital camera last weekend. Apparantly 'an older model' is about five years old because that's how long we've had the other one. I guess camera's just aren't made to last anymore; like everything else!!
Yesterday after school Mommy & Daddy were unpacking the girls stuff and getting supper ready. When we called the girls that dinner was ready we were surprised that it was quiet; could the girls actually be playing together nicely, without fighting?? We went up front to see why they were being so quiet!! At any moment, one of them could have kicked their feet and the chair would have gone flying off the back of the table.
Last weekend we went to the beach. The weather was overcast (about 22C) and the water was cold, but the girls still had fun playing in the sand and near the shore.







Caitlyn's new 'big girl' bed. We bought this at IKEA and it took Daddy about 2 1/2 hours to put it together. She seems to like it!

Luckily for Daddy Hannah's crib simply converts into a day bed. It took Hannah a few days that she could actually get out of bed now. We have a chirld safety handle on the inside of her door and she hasn't figured out how to use it, so she can't get out of her room on her own. If she hears somebody in the kitchen when she wakes up, she knocks on her door. Her Daddy (who according to Hannah is 'very silly') says from the outside of her room "Hello, who is it?" Hannah replies still from inside her room "It's Hannah Claire!
On the weekends when Mommy and Daddy aren't in the kitchen yet and actually want to try to sleep in a bit, Hannah wakes up usually at exactly 7:00 a.m. She wakes us up by yelling into her monitor "Mommy, Daddy I'm ready, come get me!"
As you can see from this picture, Hannah seems to like her new bed too!

What big girls! I sure wish I could go to the beach with you! What are you two doing on top of the coffee table! Would Hannah have been the instigator on that one?

Since I am known as the grammar police here, and have already commented on misplaced apostrophes on others' blogs...we need to have a chat! Plurals don't need apostrophes!
