Saturday was GORGEOUS!! A wonderful summer day in mid-February :) Seriously. So blessed.
Of course we had to take our first 2013 trip to the beach - swim suits, sand angels, fun in the water and all :)
.
Today we got to enjoy church, t-ball & some sibling swing time :)
.
Today also marks the day we officially implemented "operation no naps." K loves to stay up until 10:30/11 most nights, and after a long day myself, all I want is some quiet, kid-free time in the evenings. Its been going on for months, I can't remember her going to bed at a decent hour - I know she used to, I just don't remember when that was!! M was still taking naps as well - he could go either way, but really, to make bedtime all around easier, it was just time. There have been many times over the past month I've talked about cutting naps out - but it just terrified me that even if I cut them out, she could still stay up late.....then I'd lose my mid-afternoon break and still not have me time in the evening.....but after a particularly frustrating late night last night, I knew it was time. I explained to them both the rules of quiet time - which they both stuck to for about an hour, maybe even a tad longer - so I still got a break, and they got to play! Win-Win!!!

When it came time to head to Costco around 5 to pick up a pizza, this happened about 2 min into our drive there...
.
And even after taking her out of her car seat, carrying her into Costco (it's so loud in there!), transferring her into the cart, and even moving her several times to get things out of my purse....she didn't bat an eye. She was out. She found a way to take a nap on our first no-nap day. Haha, oh well. Really, it was just a cat nap. . .when all was said and done this evening, she kept to her room and fell asleep about an hour earlier than normal. Not totally at the goal yet, but I'll take it!
.
Wish I could sleep like this, whenever, wherever :) Doesn't she look like a little angel?

Yes, she does look like a little angel! Good luck! Hope it goes good today! :)
Thanks :) No naps again - they were rambunctious when we put them down to bed, I thought for sure we were in for it, but it's 9 and they're quiet!! So still not at the goal (8pm) but 9 is 40 minutes better than yesterday, woohoo!
