I mentioned in the last post about Kate sneaking out of bed and eating cookies. Well, this is how we found her a few nights ago. We tucked in the kids and went downstairs to watch a little TV. An hour or so later, we got off the couch to go upstairs and found her like this. Of course we had to turn on the lights so we could both take pictures - Tim put one on his phone to laugh at, and I knew mine would go on the blog. You may also notice that she put on her new favorite tank top over her PJ’s…

She is such a sneaky little girl! She’ll happily get in her big girl bed and give us hugs and say good night and snuggle under her blankets. And then she’ll wait until it’s quiet, and sneak out! This is not boding well for the teenage years!!!! We’ve found her on the stairs a few times (usually on the landing in the middle though, and not like this!), in our room, next to the bookshelf (it looks like she passed by the books before camping out on the stairs this time too), in the hallway, in a little play tent we had up for a while, and hidden under the covers in our bed. Luckily, she stays asleep when we scoop her up and put her back in her bed. So it’s more funny that problematic… so far anyway!

Somehow we were the first ones to arrive [that never happens] at my niece’s birthday dinner last weekend, and we had a little time to spare while we were waiting for the rest of the crew and our table. So I busted out a fun game that I learned from Amy Ginther’s blog where you make funny faces in your camera to pass the time in the restaurant waiting situation. Amy will probably be real excited that I linked to her “meet the crazies” post. :) Anyways, Tyson loved the game, but Kate wasn’t in the mood, and then our buzzer for the table went off before it was my turn. Oh well!

We ended up having a great evening! Here are some pics of my dad and his biggest fans. :)

Happy 3rd birthday, Taylor!!

We had Jada over today, and she and Kate had a blast together. If you can’t tell who’s who, Kate is the one with her shirt on backwards and Jada is the pretty princess. :)

They’re just two months apart in age, and it’s so fun to watch their little interactions and games they make up. Today they were ignoring Tyson’s very serious attempts to shoot hoops, by running circles around him and then looking for spiders. I recorded a little of the fun - I’ll try to post it on here, but no guarantees!
