Big Kids...Sniff, sniff

Moved my almost 3 year old twins into "big kid" beds this weekend. Last night was our first night and it went relatively well. One of the two napped today, so I'll take that as a good sign. Can't believe they are getting to be "big kids". Does make this mama a little sad, but I'm also a little excited to say I've made it "mostly mentally intact" through the first 3 years!!

Enjoy the fantastic weather ahead this week!!
