Birthday Parties, Big Girl Beds, and Bunco!

So the big news of the weekend is that Keira is now sleeping in her big girl bed!

And, shockingly enough, I do mean sleeping! She has yet to get out of it once we have put her to bed - YIPPEE! (knock on wood). She really likes it as you can see from the pictures. I think the transition has been overdue as she has been able to climb out for awhile now, but just doesn't. But the straw that broke the camel's back was that our crib manufacturer recalled a bunch of cribs (320,000), while ours was not recalled - the slats on ours are very similar to those that were recalled, so better safe than sorry. (Note to parents - the manufacturer is Jardine and the cribs were sold at Babies R Us if you haven't heard about this)

We went to a birthday party for one of our neighbors little boys - and that was fun too. It was an outside/water party, so Keira got to play in the pool, go down the slide into a baby pool, and play on a slip and slide for the first time. She really like that (once she figured it out).

Sunday we went to Nebraska Furniture Mart - which I thought was suppossed to have great stuff at great prices - had great stuff, not great prices, IMO. Keira needs a night stand and dresser and we are thinking about buying a second fridge for the garage (it's a long story). But we also got to stop at a nice outlet mall too. It had a T-REX cafe that we were going to have lunch at (it was really a cool place, with aquariums and dinosaurs everywhere) - but the dinosaurs scared Keira a bit, so we instead went and had mexican!

In big news ... BIG BROTHER started last night! Yahoo, finally something for us to watch on TV. Alas, it was bittersweet since I just had to watch it with my husband (sorry honey). Hope the TTT girls had a special meeting last night :) Wade even joked early in the day if I was going to be depressed tonight because I HAD to watch TV with just him! I told him, of course not - without him I probably would have never started watching this garabage! Of course, all the while I was saying this, I was wondering what dessert was being made ;)

Bunco night is tonight - I have no idea what Bunco is or how to play, so this will be an education - but hey, it's a night out of the house! I'll let ya'll know how it goes!
