A Toddler Bed for Ireland

Potty training needs to happen.  

She's ready.  

But, we know that if she potty trains, she needs to freedom to get out of her crib...

This meant a toddler bed for Ireland!!  

They helped Daddy change the crib... 

She wasn't so sure at first, but once she realized she could get in by herself she loved it.  

She also loved putting "her babies" to bed.  

Now??  She loves it!!   

I know the second I write this, I will jinx myself, but...

she has been in it for two weeks and hasn't gotten out once. 

For Christmas she wants Santa to bring her a ballerina big girl bed... and a real baby.  

Let's hope she will settle for just the bed.  :) 

New Boat and A New Pumpkin Patch

Two weekends ago we were busy in the best sort of way...

  We headed to the lake right after work on Friday.  Scott's parents bought a new boat and it needed to be picked up Saturday morning.  The kids were SO EXCITED to ride on it.  It was a chilly ride, but they couldn't wait for summer! 

When we got home, the kids napped, I went to Parade of Homes with a girlfriend and met Scott at Cohan's soccer game that evening.  It was a busy day!  

Sunday we woke up and got ready for the pumpkin patch.  Last year, the kids had a great time, and the year before, Ireland was a little too young to enjoy.  Since Cohan was a baby, we've always gone to the same pumpkin patch.  This year, we were ready for a change and we couldn't be happier with our choice!  Lots of people had recommended Fisher's Pumpkin Patch in Ashland.  Betsy and Sofia joined us.  It was a chilly start, but it quickly warmed up.  They had a corn sand box, a huge slide, a hay maze, and more.  But, by far, the biggest hit was the "train" ride and tractor ride to the pumpkin patch.
