Peaches


I don't know what it is but canning peaches make me feel like a domestic goddess! This year I got 42 quarts canned. I started at 5:00 AM and was all done by 10:30. I was going to try beans this year but our masive bean vines only produced vines!


At least now we have something in our food storage that M-girl will actually eat. It must fit into her 5th and main food group junk food.

The Box Rocks




So thanks to our neighbor the kiddos got a new play toy! Further evidence that all kids really need is a box. K-dawg loved it so much he slept in it one night (in his bedroom of course).

Yum Celery

So I was in the grocery store with my kiddos last week. The produce lady was arranging the fruits and veggies. K went up to her and said yum celery I love celery! She was pretty shocked to see a kid looking at the veggies like they were candy. So she said do you want a piece of celery? Of course he said yes and he was munching down that celery like it was a donut!

Now if he could only teach M how to eat her veggies!

Success!!


So I can without any reservations M-GIRL is POTTY TRAINED!!! It has been a long and grewly process and at one point I thought changing diapers has got to be easier than washing out poopy underwear and hosing down my poopy girl in the shower. Darin said when she goes on dates we will have to send her diaper and wipes with her dates. It felt like training would take until she was 16!


Now my advice to anyone potty training the longer you wait the easier it is!! With K we waited until he was older. It was only 3 days of yuck and then he was potty trained during the day and at night 3 months later.


But now M-girl is a rock star potty trained girl!! She even mastered the public toilet for the first time this week. YOU GO GIRL!!


Mommy and daddy and the pocketbook say THANK YOU!!!
