One BIG Herring Happening and a couple small ones....

Well Cameron is officially in a big girl bed! Over Christmas she slept on blow up mattresses and trundle beds just b/c she's simply too long for a PAC n play. I swear, we have the tallest child known to mankind. She TOWERS over some three year olds in her class. You would think she had pro basketball players for parents!!! If I had things my way I would still have her in a PAC n play and crib but since she has to sleep in a big bed while away from home we might as well make the transition altogether at once so last night we did it! And she loved it! Went down beautifully an didn't make a peep for 10.5 hours.



And she's napping in it now and has been since 1245! I think she likes it folks!


Over there on the right side we put a pool noodle under the mattress pad to keep her from falling out and it worked like a champ! It's not shown in this picture though as I had just put it together, but before bed we stuck in under there and it worked! Plus, I think this looks 10 times more aesthetically pleasing than those bed rails. And cheaper! Those things are like $25 a piece if not more. Pool noodle was 5 bucks! The guy at Leslie's told me he sells at least one noodle a day for the same purpose. Too funny!

As for a couple other things going on: i just can't get over these lips.





Team Herring braved the south plains mall two days after Christmas (not a good idea) in search of a cheap/on sale treadmill, and as miserable as it was, this wall, over by the food court, put a smile on my face. This was the honor flight my Grandaddy Doug went on right before her left us to go be with our Lord and Savior. He's the one in the solo shot, red shirt, & saluting the camera. God speed Grandaddy.


And, last but certainly not least, we had Tess's room painted and I love it!!!
