My children call our Friday outings "Fun with Daddy". We tend to do a lot of the same things, though. We went to visit the Bellagio Gardens.
Mallory is causing me some grief lately. She is turning into a 2 year old. Within the last few days she has started biting. Not just a here-let-me-get-your-attention-nibble but a CHOMP. She broke the skin on Luke's back and he has a bruise around it. But, that is the thing. She only really bites Luke. I am not usually paying attention at the moment of impact, but I wonder if he is doing something to provoke her. Regardless, she has spent a lot of time in time out. Not sure what to do. It is one of the worst , most difficult learned behaviors to overcome in a toddler.
Plus, yesterday she climbed out of her crib after nap. This morning she did it when she woke up. Then, this afternoon she climbed out 5 times while I tried to get her stay down. I ended up resting next to her. It took 45 minutes for her to go to sleep. NOT FUN! She was such a good sleeper. Now I am in the market for a toddler bed. Anyone have one on hand? I gave mine to my sister and never got it back.

You didn't give me a toddler bed!
I feel you. I'm grateful that Dane is so short or I think he would have climbed out of his crib by now. With Dutch it was the only way to get him to go to sleep. Dane is kind of the same way now. I hope he doesn't get it into his mind to start climbing!
My mom has two toddler beds (She recently asked us if we want one and we already have one. Heather and Dallin are putting Amelia in a twin bed so they don't want one either.) I know they're kind of far away, but if you're ever up this way I'm sure she'd be happy to see a bed go to good use.
The chocolate fountain sounds amazing. (I can see by the picture why you found it dissapointing.) I just love chocolate (sigh).
Maybe you could try putting up a gate at the door or something? That's what we do for Joseph for time out and sometimes he falls asleep. I'm grateful Annabelle hasn't figured out how to climb out of her crib yet, but we only get to keep her in there a couple more months before the new baby will have to use it since we don't have a bassinet.
The Terrible Twos are hard and I congratulate you on doing it for a 4th time. Annabelle has tried biting a couple times, but mostly she has just started ignoring everything I say and that's what puts her in time out.
It's fun watching Mallory grow up at the same time as Annabelle, and I love how similar their hair is!
