Well, the day has come. Everett has officially said goodbye to his crib and is currently sleeping in his big boy bed! At least we think he's sleeping in it. He has made a couple of surprise attacks on us tonight. He kept popping up whenever I turned around - not something I am used to! I hope I don't have a pair of eyes on me as I sleep tonight.....

Happy Half Birthday to Everett!
If you know me, you know I love half birthdays. A year is a long time to wait to celebrate your birthday, so why not celebrate halfway? And why not celebrate with half of a cake?
Everett is 3 and a half! That's incredible! That's 42 months! He was super excited to celebrate and loved that he got a cake. So fun!

Really, Mom?
One of the "treats" I got for the boys for Valentine's Day was a pack of window markers. Totally an awesome idea - markers you can write on the window with and then wipe clean. Everett looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears when I told him to color on the window. He quickly barked, "We don't color on windows, Mama, we color on paper!" I guess I trained him well! Lionel had no hesitations whatsoever! And you can see that it only took 5 pictures for the marker to end up in his mouth.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Field Trip!
We ventured down to Tempe last week to check out the new aquarium. It was super fun! Perfect for kids....everything was low to the ground and very interactive. Everett got to touch a starfish in a touch tank. I asked him how it felt and he replied, "It felt like a starfish." Of course, silly Mom for even asking! Lionel learned a new word - fishy! Everett forgot his camera, so I let him take a picture with mine. Of course he wanted to take a picture of me, not the fish. The first one is practice, but he does well the second time. A great day!

And He's Off!
Say Cheese, Mama!
After watching Elmo play with a camera on Monday on Sesame Street, Everett became obsessed with cameras. He was using a toy as a "make-believe" camera until I remembered I had my old camera in the garage. I put a battery in it so it can flash and make noises and Everett hasn't put it down once! As I peeked in on him tonight in bed, he said, "Mama, I have my camera! I took 7 more pictures. I'll just take a few more." It's absolutely adorable! He asks me to say cheese all day long and then he looks at the back (like it's a digital camera) and says, "Wow, that was a great one, Mama!"
Tight Quarters
Yum!
