Germany for the weekend

Last weekend we drove up to Helen, a small German town in North East Georgia. While there we camped at a local state campground and it couldn't have been any better. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time.

Andrew loves his new pillow

So we finally decided to give Andrew a pillow and he has been happily sleeping with it every night. I went in to check on him the other day during nap time and for the first time he was sleeping on the floor instead of his new big boy bed. Apparently his new pillow had fallen on the floor and instead of picking it up and putting it back on the bed he just transfered to where the pillow was instead of the pillow transferring to him. I guess he just loves his new pillow!

Scary Spiders

So I walked into my laundry room to get something and there is this HUGE fuzzy spider on the floor. I thought it was some weird kind of tarantula. I called Bryan and told him he needed to come kill it and he had no idea why I was freaking out over a little spider. Little did he know it wasn't so little. He himself was totally freaked out and he tried to kill it but naturally out spider killer spray was above the dryer so he couldn't reach it without getting VERY close to the spider. He managed to get the spray and as soon as he sprayed it HUNDREDS of little spiders jumped off the big spider. Turns out it wasn't fluffy at all but rather covered in about 1,000 babies making it look huge. Lucky for me Bryan took care of it and killed all of the spiders for me.

Andrew in a big boy bed

We finally decided it was time to move Andrew to a big boy bed and get him out of the crib so that Tyler could move in. Believe it or not he LOVES his new bed and we have yet to have a problem. He has been sleeping in his bed for several weeks now and each night he crawls into the bed all by himself and tucks himself in. It is wonderful! I decided to put Tyler in bed with him and he loved being able to share his new big bed with his baby brother.

Finally we are getting grass

We have lived in our house for two years now and we have been looking at a dirt backyard this entire time. A year and a half ago we layed down some seed but naturally it takes time. We are just now starting to get enough grass that it looks decent and Andrew can finally go outside and play. We are so excited.
