That's what you get...

Tipton got a new bed. We moved his old bed into Lilli's room. We needed to get Lilli out of her crib.

She was trying to escape.



And we were afraid she was going to vault over the railing.





So we went to Ikea and bought Tipton a new bed. A very cool bed. With a canopy! It can be a bunk bed, but we chose the "safer" configuration of it just being a bed. With a ladder. And a really cool canopy. Tipton helped Daddy put it together







At one point Tipton finished whatever task he was doing and said

"That's what happens when you work with the Tipton!"

(I promise to post pictures of the kids "new" beds. Soon.)

Fresh Powder Scent

So the kids were playing outside in the sandbox. And Tipton knows that when he comes in from playing in the sand, he should put a little bit of baby powder on his hands and feet to help brush the sand off. And I guess he thought that Lilli should do the same, so he left the bottle of baby powder on the floor for her to use...

The scene of the crime



The prime suspect



At one point, Lilli was on her tummy making swimming motions. This picture does not show that, but it gives you a better idea of just how much baby powder is on the floor. The giant can used to be full. It is now empty.



Of course they had to track it all over the house.



Lilli scoops up a handfull of powder to sprinkle in her hair



Tipton says "Hey look, I can make footprints!"



Well, at least we found an educational use for a living room floor covered in baby powder - you can practice your letters!
