Sara's Potty Party

Yes, you read that correctly. We had a potty party Wednesday night in honor of Sara!

We're not sure how it happened but we successful "diaper trained" Sara instead of potty training her. At 6am every morning, Sara would wake up and we put her in her Minnie Mouse or Daisy Duck panties. Every two hours or so we would sit her on her potty and hope (and silently pray) that something would happen. It never would. Lunch time would roll around and then nap time. I would put her in her diaper and put her in bed. About five minutes later I would hear, "Mommy. I go potty!"

We knew she could "hold it" and that she knew when it was ok to "go." So we decided to bite the bullet and go with panties full time (diapers only at night). Long story short, Sara finally used her potty on Wednesday afternoon! Yes, she was naked sitting on the potty on our backyard deck while playing in a bucket of water and she had held "it" for 9 hours ...but it happened! So I ran out and got cupcakes!

I'm planning on bravely venturing out for a quick, and I do mean quick, trip to Publix this morning while Sara is wearing panties. Pray the checkout lines are short!

Happiest Place on Earth

Yep...we branched out and traveled to California last week to visit Disneyland!

Don't we look cute!

Thanks a bunch to Grana and Grandaddy and to Grandma and Grandpa. They had a "stay-cation" with our girls while we took our vacation!

Pool Party!

The girls joined Cooper at Grandma's house for a splashin' good time!

Emma loved running through the Mickey Mouse sprinkler.

Sara was happy to fill up her watering can and empty it over and over and over. Cooper spent most of his time cooling off in the pool.

Yum! Popsicles!

When It Rains...

...go outside and ride your tricycles!

Our Memorial Day weekend was pretty wet and the girls needed to get outside and do something...anything! Since it wasn't lightning or thundering, we decided to suit the girls in their raincoats and boots! They had a great time and so did we!


We also put Emma to work mowing the concrete. You know how it gets in the summer!

Since we backed out the van into the driveway and it was raining, I decided to use Mother Nature to help me wash the "magic door." Sara also pitched in!
