Family time & the Binky Fairy

Saturday we went to the Children's Discovery Museum. Eric has never been there and the kids love it. This is Luke 'waving to his fans', Emily taught him this!!!
Chef Mason making a 'pizza'.
We took them to the park in the afternoon, Ty loves the climbing wall. On Sunday afternoon Eric took him on a long hike to a waterfall, he especially likes hiking now because his aunt Jill got him a camel pack.
So, the Binky Fairy.....I decided it was time to get rid of the binkys so a few weeks ago we started telling the boys about the Binky Fairy (thanks for the idea Tash!). For those of you that don't know, the Binky Fairy is closely related to the Tooth Fairy. You set you binkys outside (mine decided to hide theirs under the car) and the she comes and takes the binkys away for little babies who need them and she leaves big boy treats in their place.
Our Binky Fairy left big boy undies, playdoh and fruit snacks. They were very happy with the gifts and they went down for their nap and at night time great. They only asked for it a few times and followed it up with 'bye bye binkys'.
It was at 5:30 this morning that they would not go back to sleep!!! Hopefully they will sleep in a bit later tomorrow, would make getting ready for work a little easier than having two little ones 'help' you. Next step-big boy beds!!!
