The nightly rounds

Like we do every night, we made the rounds before we went to bed and checked on our babies. I know I've said this before, but the stop at Nina's room is always exciting. We never know what we'll find. Tonight we had to laugh:

Nina put collars on her pet dog "Millie" and her pet horse "Snowflake" and made sure they were secured to her dresser before she went to bed.

Resourceful

I'm not really sure what else to say about this outfit.

Sleeping Beauty

So often it's reassuring to have Nina sleeping. You know that nothing fishy is going on. But sometimes even when she is sleeping, you just wonder....

What she does in her free time....

and I just like Cameron's face in this one.

"I cut my tongue"

so naturally she would need to put a bandaid on it.

A trip to the bank

Nina has been giving me (and her teacher at school) a lot of grief lately. I am hoping that catching up on her blog will be therapeutic for me. That and I wanted to have a full arsenal of blackmail just in case I ever need it.

So anyway. Yes. She did put this outfit together especially for our trip to the bank.

Our thief in the night

It's such a great feeling to walk downstairs after we've put the kids to bed. Matt and I usually enjoy a snack and a show or just sit and chat. It's just wonderful to sit together and relax. Then when we are good and tired, we head back upstairs and check on our babies. Our visit to Nina's room is more to assess the damage than to check on her. We usually find that she was busy after we kissed her goodnight. It could be a pile of books on her bed, lipstick on the mirror, several changes of clothes on the floor, hearts drawn on the wall in sharpie. Nothing surprises us. Not even when she gets into the pile of teacher and friend treats we put together for Christmas.


See the little bag to the left of her?



I'm pretty sure she had sweet dreams that night.
