this is now a potty training blog!

I am going to start blogging about PTing Carley. She has proven to be the most difficult in this and I want to be able to go back and really see the progress she's made. Today is day #2 so lets go back to yesterday...before yesterday Carley had only gone on the potty maybe twice(and that was this week). She always refused and I didn't want to push her -- if she said no I didn't force her to sit on it. There's no forcing that child to do anything anyways. So she finally started to at least sit on it and I thought, okay, that's it. We have got to get this over and done with before she turns 3! And it just so happened that we ran out of pull-ups right about this same time. Well she did fantastic yesterday!! By the end of the night she had gone on the potty 6 times and had 5 accidents. One of those accidents being poopy. Not too bad for the first day!

Today, she started with no accidents!! She must have peed on the potty about 4 times. At 3pm I started to get everyone ready to go to the bank. By the time we were out the door it was 3:30 and as soon as I started the car she had her first accident of the day. Which was completely understandable, as I had been super busy and forgot to ask her! She has been telling me most of the time but there are a couple times where I'll ask her and she'll say yes(mostly she says no when asked). So we changed and went to the bank. We were there a whole hour with no accidents! Then she went when we got home and now she is napping. What a good day! I am so proud of her!

Florida Bound!

We are taking the girls to Disney for Daisia's birthday and then to The Keys for D's cousins' graduations. We have a great resort down there and we are excited! Be back next week :)

Holy Crap It's June

Like I say every year in June(and again in December) where has the time gone?? The months pass by so quickly once you have kids. It's kinda odd, since before the weeks seemed to drag on forever. For me anyways.

June is a super busy month. Well, okay, our summers are always cram-packed with vacation, birthday parties, holiday BBQs, and more birthday parties. Not only my girls are summer babies, pretty much everyone we know is or has a summer baby. I think there are 8 days in June that aren't taken by someone in mine or D's family.

Anyways, this week is especially busy for me. It's a new month which means invoices need to get out(I'm trying hard to get those done tonight - those and my dishes). Daisia's party is this weekend and I still have ALL the shopping to do. Wednesday we are getting new carpet and D is trying to paint the living room tomorrow night. It needs to be done but I don't know if I'm ready to deal with that too!! To get out of the house Wed we will be going to my BFF's(Stacie) apartment pool. We love it there, it's always empty and has a cool waterfall thing. Then we'll go shopping for the b-day party. I'm gonna see if Stacie will go with me. It's hard to take all 3 kids to a freakin party store by myself! The rest of the week will be me putting my house back together in time for the party! Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it!

So that's my excuse for this week ;) I'll try to post more, maybe some before and after shots. Maybe not any before shots though, they are bad. But that's why we are doing something about it! And, all writing utensils have been BANNED from our house. ha.

and a side note, I gotta run so I spell checked but did not grammar check. and i always grammar check
