Sunday Shenanigans 05/20/12

The biggest news for the week is: LILY IS POTTY TRAINED!  We are all so excited.  Pretty much all our family activities revolved around going potty, talking about potty, running to and from the potty.  It was actually really fun and Lily was the one who decided it was time which made it a breeze.  No crying, only two accidents, and now we are at six days of success.  Great job Lily Bug!

We have a huge yard and we are spending a lot of time and money trying to maintain and improve it.  Jeremy always dreamed of having an acre and now he has got it.  The yard is so big that when the girls go play outside they look like little specks.  Can you see them in the picture above?  Our garden plot is huge and full of weeds.  We're not sure if we'll get it all cleared in time for planting this year.  But we'll do as much as we can.

Since Lily and Mommy were so busy with going potty this week, Annie had a ball making messes while Mommy was distracted.  This is the only one I photographed.  You should have seen the Cheerios/Goldfish cracker mess that happened on Thursday and the bucket of rice she spilled in the garage!

On Friday Lily wore her Halloween costume all day long.  Sorry for yet another potty picture but she looked so dang cute with her crayon hat on I just had to take another pic.  Can you tell I'm excited that she's potty trained?

Lily thought it was funny that I kept taking pictures of her on the potty....believe me there are so many more that didn't make it into the blog.  She wanted to take pictures of me watching her go.  So this is one happy momma who is proud to be sitting in the bathroom while her toddler uses the toilet.  Another milestone conquered!

 And here's one little sister who just loves the camera!  I love those eyes.

We had playgroup at the park.  It was a perfect breezy day.  We were there over two hours and had a ball with our friends.

Tonight we had dinner with our friends the Floyds.  The girls dressed up in their princess finery to dine (aka drop food on the floor and spill their drinks) and enjoy some time in the enchanted gardens (aka the Floyd's backyard).  It was a magical week in our house.  We are so proud of Lily.
