Not slowing down

With summer here, we are not slowing down in the least.

The weekend was busy but it only got crazier as the week went on.

Monday started off with a bang with our last MOPS of the year. The rest of the week is blurry, but the highlights are:

Sea World - just me and the girls, where Emma went diaperless at the water park...no biggie, right?..well, she told me she had to go potty..all wet from the water park..ok, ummm, no potty around...Just go stand over in the grass and maybe noone will notice..yes, I am THAT mom!
Well, her potty was actually POO..it created the "tail" in her cute bathing suit. I was mortified.. I thought I would be embarrassed with her pottying in the grass, no, not even close..so I lay her on the ground and peel the suit off of her..I felt bad for her, she was not happy, and we finished our day at the park with a poo filled towel. YUM!! - 4 hours later!

County Line BBQ - we saw Bruce Robison - for FREE!! ate some awesome sandwiches and hung out with new and old friends..Barbi and her family came, the girls were so cute to watch..Emma was "the bad friend" who led Georgia (her 2 yr old friend) way down the sidewalk..thankfully Dustin ran and scared them back our way..Daniel and I were not really doing much to stop it, just watching it go down! They also played in the fountain there. We have been faithfully going since we moved here and love it.. It is so much fun and relaxing as we all prefer to be outside!!

Playgroup..we had a few, but 1 was new..oh, that rhymed..we made it to the neighborhood, the gate officer said, "Oh you must be here for the playdate..go right ahead"..OOH fancy! then we get there and they have a great big water slide..fun..Georgia was fussy, but what is new..Emma was ready to get in the water..
The little boy, Britton, 4, said "Are you 3?" to E. I said, "No, she is only 2." He replied.."Can she come back when she is 3?!" TOOOO funny..he is something else and LOVES baby Georgia. It was great and nice to chat with some other fun Mommies!

The same mom invited me to a Sneak-Peak movie viewing of The Proposal. It was a great movie..SO funny..I recommend this for sure and will be watching it with Daniel!! Leslie also has a baby-sitting company called Time Out Sitters..it is neat and a great deal..we will be using them in the near future!! If you are in the SA area, check it out..timeoutsitters.com

Emma got to meet her teachers and see her school for this summer and fall..she will start in August. I am excited..for 2 days/week and I think it will help her blossom even more!

Momaks..a burger/kid joint that has an outdoor playscape and lawn, with a band and huge deck..we went on Friday night and met 2 couples there! We had a blast getting to know them and the kids, well, of course they had fun! I see us having some fun times with these couples we have met so far in SA.

Today, we attended a 1 yr old b-day party, fishing theme..too cute. Big Wortham was adorable and took down the cake..Emma also took down her cupcake and juice boxes and...she loved the water slide, though it took her a while to get comfortable around those boys. We had lunch with Tim and Shelly, cousins, and they are expecting their first this month..a girl, Maddy..they live only an hour away!! I can't wait for them to grow up and play together!!
We ended the day with dinner and fun over at the Kamrowskis..they had a new puppy..Marvin and Emma was in love, kindof..she wasn't fond of his biting, but liked his toys and showing him how to potty in the yard! Thanks for the invite and the yummy spaghetti!

Speaking of potty..Emma is probably 30-40% potty trained..on her own, really. I just dropped the whole thing and now she is into it. She will go herself and not really even tell me..I do remind her..now, she still wears diapers to bed and naps, but the rest is history..I do make her wear a pull-up while we are out but she will go on the potty if I let her, while we are out on the town. I am really holding on to the diaper, but it is not so bad..she just takes them off now, no matter where she is..for instance..MOMAKS restaurant..a mom said to me.."your little girl just took off her diaper and it is sitting on the ground over there"..OH, SUPER!! I am THAT mom AGAIN!! Well, good for her, I am thinking this week while we are vacationing I will let her really test out the potty theory and see where we end up..It is just up to her and she is ready, I think, finally...at least during the day!! YEA for her!! I am really proud she decided this on her own! She is a sweet, special little girl!

Hopefully I can update next week while on VaCa..but not sure..I may be too busy having fun! Oh and Girls weekend is less than 6 days away..oh, yeah!! PPDs!
