I'm having a hard time uploading pictures to Blogger lately - hence the lack of posts. The old way I used to do it, using picasa web albums no longer works so it's a hassle every other way now. Do any of my other blogging friends have any issues with this? Or is it just me? I'm thinking of switching the blog to wordpress to make it easier. I'm not sure how all this will work, so you'll just have to bear with me while I try to figure everything out. Here is a link to the wordpress site in progress: http://adventuresingrowingup.wordpress.com/

Project Life March 25-31

Trying to get back on track with my Project Life Posts!
Sunday we went to the Park with Emily and Miles. Will was fearless and went down all the slides by himself and wanted to play mostly on the big kid playground - which was a lot more scary for me!

Another week of wonderful weather and getting to spend time outdoors.
Nora playing hopscotch
William trying to ride Nora's bike - he wants to be able to do this so bad! I think this boy might need a tricycle for his birthday!
Saturday morning snuggles with Nora. Not our best photo but I don't have many photos with myself in them so I'm trying to be good and add them.
Lunch at La Huerta. Nora insists on making these funny poses whenever I try to take her picture.

The Catching Up Post
So while I've been keeping up with Project Life in person, I haven't been doing such a good job updating the blog! Here are some photos from the last few weeks:
Nora riding her scooter
Luna on the trampoline. Ajax likes to sleep up there too.
William taking a nap with Poppi
Ice Skating with our Korean Students!
Happy St Patrick's Day
William LOVES Nora's rainboots - he wears them ALL the time!

The big girl bed
I'm doing some catching up today on the blog so this is a little late. About a month ago, we decided it was time for Nora to move out of the toddler bed and into a "big girl bed." Her crib converted from to a toddler bed and then into a full sized bed, so all we needed was the mattress. Nora and I went to Denver Mattress to find one she liked. Her requirement was that it be soft and mine was that is reasonable priced. I ordered her a comforter from Land of Nod, so I took her to Target to let her pick out her own sheets.
Once we got everything delivered, Walt and I set out to but together the bed. This turned out to be more of a challenge then we expected, but we finally got it done.
And the room all put together (well mostly - you can see some storage boxes that need to go to the garage):

Project Life: Feb 26 - Mar 3

Yep, its more Project Life pictures. Here is our week:
Two tired kids on our way from from Mimi and Poppi's house. They passed out before we even left the driveway and slept the entire 3.5 hour drive home
My new favorite lunch on campus - Lo Mein from The Wok and a coke of course
Walt and Nora playing the line game while waiting on dinner at Red Lobster. Nora actually ate popcorn shrimp and liked it!
William eating an orange at Red Lobster
Saturday we went shopping for Nora's big girl bed. We picked up a mattress set at Dever Mattress and then went to Target to buy sheets. These are the sheets that Nora picked out. I already ordered her a pink polka dot comforter from Land of Nod. She is very excited for her big bed!
