Happy Mother's Day

Correct, it is Memorial weekend and I'm doing a Mother's Day post, but I live by the better late than never philosophy (especially when it comes to this magical blog).  I celebrated mother's day with the most important mommies I know, my mom and sister.  Here we are with all the silly people who are responsible for us entering this wonderful world of motherhood.  Our husbands (not pictured)  were there  too and I guess technically they are responsible for us celebrating this holiday and my brother (also not pictured) provided donut holes for the brunch and only holds .3333 percentage points for my mom being a mom.  He is in no way responsible for me or my sister being mothers. 

Elsie puts the choker hold on me and Margot to show me  how much I mean to her.  Happy Mother's Day!  (look for my memorial day post on father's day)

Bunk Beds!

BIG changes in the sleeping arrangements at Casa Erickson. Margot is out of her crib and living the dream on the bottom bunk. Big sister Elsie is thrilled to have her sweet dreams on the top bunk and be "upstairs with the rest of the family" to hear her talk about it, you'd think her old bedroom was down in the dungeon when in reality she had a nice room to herself in the lower level of our cozy split level home.

The girls are both really enjoying sharing a room, which is a SHOCKER to me!  I anticipated lots of problems at bed time, but other than a few sister whisper before falling asleep, they are doing great.   

Happy camper #1. (yes, elsie is wearing a winter had to bed.  an odd "stage" she went through for a few weeks)
