How do I get a counter?

I tried to sign up for a free counter site but I can't figure out where to put the code they give me! I know people have been looking, because of my 1 comment(thanks Steph, wish I knew how to link your blog to your name, but yeah, I still have lots to learn about the blogging world) and the fact that they tell me LOL. But the counter shows no hits. I spelled my sign in name wrong anyways, I put bkfyrer instead of bkfryer. So I need to start all over. Anyone have a good free counter site they can lead me to? and where to put the stupid code? TIA!

surprise, surprise

Well, I thought I was gonna have blog after blog about potty training Carley! After those first 2 days, she hasn't had any accidents!! (not including poop - more to come on that in a bit.) I don't even have to ask her, she comes and tells me when she has to pee. No matter what she is doing, she will stop and take a potty break. I was very surprised at that, since Daisia and Savannah both had problems taking a time out from their play to remember to go pee. So my stubborn daughter is potty trained! I just had to wait for her to be ready. It's funny - the other girls started at a much earlier age but Carley had it down pat in 3 days!! Almost...

on to the poop...all 3 of my kids have done this so I wasn't too surprised with it...Carley WILL NOT poop on the potty. She goes in her panties. Every time. Once I caught her and she finished on the potty, but she wasn't really finished, and 5 minutes later I still had a mess to clean up. I must say, though, that after doing this 3 times its not so gross or time consuming LOL. I mean, yeah, its still gross but not like it was with Daisia. Both the other kids were finally pooping on the potty right at their 3rd birthdays so I'm really hoping Carley will too.

In any event, I am very proud of my little girl!!!

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

my girls

This is Daisia; my first baby, my helper, my blondie, and my best T-ball player. This kid amazes me. She's good at everything she does. Except for bedtime, she's not so good at that. By the time she was one I knew 3 definite things about her: she's extremely photogenic, she will NEVER sleep when I need her to, and she is very smart. And I mean very very smart.

This is my preemie Savannah. She is very special to a lot of people. A princess in every sense of the word. Including her mean streak. Oh, come on, we all know princesses can have their moments. You did know that, right? Her latest obsession(besides dresses, DUH): anything that sprays.

This is Carley in a nutshell. She is so funny with her little attitude. This was back in December, I've got to get one of her new pouty face. It's not so much of a pout anymore but more like a scowl. She'll cross her arms high on her chest, scrunch up her entire face and close one eye. So funny.

Starting Over!

Wow, it has been a really super long time since I've blogged! I am going to try and start up again...at least a few random posts a week or something!

Let's start with what's been going on lately! Daisia played T-Ball this spring and is really good! Suprisingly so since I'm not such a sporty person myself. I like to watch sports but participate? Not so much. Also, she has been on the honor roll all this year(and last) and is reading at a 3rd grade level(she's in 1st). She gets out June 5th. Savannah's last day of school was last Monday. She made SO MUCH progress this year, I am so proud of her! She is now ready for REAL (4yo) preschool LOL! And there's Carley...well...Carley is a hot mess. I would literally have to follow her around with a baby wipe, a change of clothes, and a hair brush to keep her clean. She cracks us up all the time though and is starting to pretend play, which Savannah is just eating up. Their favorite game is mommy & baby. Too cute.

Well, that's basically it. I am kind of dreading this summer bc I think the girls will be really bored. I'll just have to plan lots of fun(and cheap) stuff for us to do. Plus it is already super hot here in GA and our a/c picks and chooses when it wants to work. We are waiting for a friend to get his heating & air license so he can get us some free-on(or whatever it is called) and see if that will work.

I do have a lot of preparing to do for the girls' birthdays this summer and we are also going on vacation in June. Maybe we'll stay busy afterall!
