The little girls at bedtime

I’m still working on catch up posts.  Here are some recent pictures:

Ila is funny, she’s very particular about what she sleeps with and how.  She will yell from her bed for someone to come and re-wrap that doll in a blanket and she always sleeps on her orange pillow from aunt Heidi. She loves her giant orange rock (partially visible below).  She must have two plush elephants (a mommy and a baby) who have their own blankets (burp clothes that match Ila’s butterfly blanket), an orange water bottle, and a big stack of books.  She has an aquarium lamp similar to this one and a plastic lion who likes to try to eat the fish in the aquarium.  I checked on her after bedtime one night and observed the following set-up:6.30.12 Ila in bed (1)Nicole almost always falls asleep with this book on her lap:6.30.12 NicoleNicole also likes to try on clothes, particularly socks and underwear, after bedtime.  Sometimes I find a pile of underwear and socks in Ila’s bed that Nicole has tossed in for her to try on.  I took this picture one night when I went in to turn off some lights (notice the 4 different socks on her hands).  She came downstairs for breakfast the next morning with all 4 socks still on:IMG_5419Also, here are some unrelated pictures:  I know I shared these on Facebook, but I thought I’d share them here anyway for the friends of mine who don’t use Facebook.  I love seeing my kids all lined up, here they are on the Sunday before Independence day:7.1.12 Before Church (4)7.1.12 Before Church (6)
