Here We Go Again!!

Laynie your Sunday School teachers have been telling me that you tee tee in the potty each week. You also have been getting notes sent home from school saying you went to the potty! Daddy and I have been trying to potty train for several months with no luck! You would sit, wipe and flush but nothing else! A few weeks ago I decided you needed to start wearing panties so I went to your drawer and picked out a pair with cute little kittens on them. We put them on and I told you if you tee teed on them they would bite (I did pinch the inside of your leg and your bottom a little pretending the kitty cats were biting you). It worked!! You have been using the big girl potty ever since! Dry naps and some dry nights too! Now we just have to master the poo poo...




This is your pose when I asked you to show me your kitty cat panties




Mommy's new favorite panties!

Todd got his grandparents dining room table and hutch passed down to him when we got married. We recently had it painted and it looks totally different!!
BEFORE...




















And after...!!!

Camryn's 1st grade class took a field trip to Heifer Farms in Perryville Monday and she had a great time! She learned all about giving to the less fortunate and even contributed some of her money to help by a goat and a few chickens for a less fortunate family. And she even got to milk a goat! She thought it was pretty cool that I drank goat's milk when I was a baby because I couldn't tolerate cow's milk. Daddy, however, thought it was disgusting!! After the field trip she and Todd went to the movies and saw Wreck-It Ralph. She said that was her favorite part of the day!




She asked the night before if she could wear her hair in a side ponytail for her field trip!

Having fun with blocks!

Happy Ten Year!!

Todd and I celebrated our ten year anniversary last night! The kiddos spent the night with Gram and Poppy and we had a delicious dinner at Capeo. Fried sage leaves, grilled meatballs, Carbonara pasta for me and veal for Todd. It was all so yummy! After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble and then walked to Purple Cow for a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. I think my favorite part was sleeping in this morning until nearly 10:00!

Enjoying our fried sage leaves! 

Camryn made us some anniversary art! So sweet!

Poor, Poor Baby Laynie

Soooo...Laynie is home sick with her Daddy today. I came home for lunch and this is what I found! She dressed her own little sweet self!

Should Santa Even Bother?!?!
