It's A...

Well, we won't be having another one of these.

Or of these.

No more pretty little dresses.

No more sweet pink outfits.

Because we are having a boy.  A boy!  Now I have to adjust to the world of sports and superheroes.  Not that it will be too much of an adjustment since my husband is all about that already.  So here's to some new fun!

The great name debate has already begun!

A Wordless Wednesday

Not Eventful!

Today, the girls got to play with some paper dolls that Joel brought home from work for them.  They drew "beach scenes" for the dolls and we taped them to the wall.  They made their dolls talk and play in front of them and then just mostly ran around the house being silly with the dolls.  I tried to take a picture of it, but it kept turning out blurry, probably because the move so much!

Tonight we made Pioneer Woman's Blueberry Crumb Cake.  It is so good!  I really recommend making this.  We will probably have it for breakfast as well as eating it for dessert!

We had a busy, but (thankfully) relatively uneventful day.  I'm just about ready to fall asleep now!

Yay! Pictures!

Great news!  We borrowed my parents' memory card reader so we can copy our pictures to the computer again!  Yay!

Today, the girls found Joel's peanuts from the baseball game he went to yesterday so they were enjoying opening them and eating them.  Pnut had to do most of the opening.  Pilly kept licking the outside of the shells.  Yuck!  Then when we were outside, they decided to leave some for the squirrels.  So we are probably going to have some well-fed squirrels around!

Pilly is doing wonderfully with potty training!  She went on the potty all day and stayed dry last night and at nap.  She is consistently staying dry at nap every day so I think I will be able to easily transition her out of diapers there.  I'm not sure about nighttime...it is a little bit more of a risk!

The girls were supposed to be upstairs (you know it's not good when it starts like that!) listening to a Jungle Jam tape in their room.  After the story had been on for a while, Pilly calls down, "I need more wipes."  I moved quickly up the stairs to discover that she had filled the toilet with a brand new roll of toilet paper that she unraveled.  Gross.  So I got to clean that up:)  I laughed about it later, but not then!

Whew, I'm ready for some rest.  I worked a lot today.  I'm trying to get back to where I was before those 7 long weeks off, but it takes me longer with these different accounts.  So have a good night!

The Season is Over

Well, the team didn't win the play-offs so no hair or beard cut for Joel.  Boo!  However, they had a wonderful season, and there is always next year!  I enjoy going to softball and getting out of the house, but it will be nice to have weeknights at home again!

In exciting news, Pilly peed and pooped in the potty today!  She told me she had to go both times.  I don't even take her every 30 minutes anymore.  I guess she was just ready this time!  I think I will segue into not wearing diapers at night once she has got the hang of it during the day.  I had Pnut in them for a long time at night until suddenly one day it just hit me that that was kind of silly!

So I'm tired tonight.  It was a long day and really humid at the game, which always makes me tired.  Have a good night!

What's Up

Pnut got burned out on VBS last week and ended up with a headache and fever on Friday.  She still has the fever.  This is almost identical to what she had in April, but I can't remember how long it lasted.  I did call the doctor today, and he said he didn't think she needed to be seen unless it continued longer.  Hopefully it won't!  I bought some immune support syrup tonight because we were out so I am going to start giving that to her. 

Because she was sick, the girls and I couldn't go to the all-day softball tournament on Saturday.  That was a long day!  That tournament had nothing to do with our league one, it was just a thing that the two teams combined to compete in.  So Joel was gone from about 7:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night.  Looong day.  But we did have a success!  Pilly has been potty training since last Tuesday, and she pooped in the potty on Saturday.  She actually told me she had to go and did.  That is the only time she has gone in the potty at all.  No pee.  She seems to possess an amazing ability to hold it until nighttime.  She doesn't even go during nap in her diaper every day.  I'm trying to give her juice to get her to drink more, but I don't think it is working.  She had a few accidents last week but hasn't had any more for a few days.  I don't know what to do with her.  We are just going to keep on going.  I know she can do it!

Tonight's softball game ended up being canceled because of rain.  This was to be the final game if they won and Joel was to have his haircut.  It poured for like 15 minutes and left big puddles all over the infield so they couldn't play.  Hopefully they will get to tomorrow, but it is supposed to rain again.  We need to play because the tension just builds up more and more!

I want my regular, happy, silly Pnut back!

VBS

Joel is helping with VBS at our church this year, and the girls got to go tonight.  Pnut also went last night.  She really enjoyed it and learned a lot so when Pilly wanted to go tonight, we thought we would let her try.  She might not be allowed to go back until Friday because she was pretty tired!  It is definitely a little bit past bedtime...by like 2 hours! 

We had our first official day of potty training today.  There is no stopping this time.  Pilly is big enough, and she seems to have excellent control.  She didn't go in the potty at all, but only had one accident, which isn't too bad for the first day.  She just stubbornly holds it all day!

Tomorrow is cooking club, and it sounds like it is going to be delicious!  Now I need to find a snack to hold me over tonight::)
