LETTING IT ALL HANG OUT

This past weekend we decided to work on the land. The weather was perfect and much work needed to be done. Blake has been working on potty training and it has been a real it and miss situation. Morgan was a month before she turned three and I just let her do it on her own timing. I figured that would be Blake or at least I was hoping. Well a little later he has taken interest but it is slowly coming. We decided to let him wear his big boy undies up to the land. Before I knew it, he was naked going potty. The kid just has no shame. He actually thinks it is funny. I guess whatever works. He told me later that the neighbors were watching him go potty.

This week I told Krystal that he was working on potty training. We had a good day and a bad day. Today we tried again. He has went all day without an accident. I am so proud and excited that we may be on to something. This is the most he has shown interest in using the potty. We even traveled two hours or so in the car tonight and he did awesome. He told me when he needed to go and we stop a few times. Once he went and the other time he didn't. At least he is trying and aware if he has big boys on or his diaper. He just fell asleep and asked me if he had a diaper on. We are camping this weekend so this may be a good chance to just leave the undies on so if there is an accident it is no big deal. The ground can hold up just fine with a little urine. He also loves to just pull down his pants and stand by a tree to try to go. This should be easier than Morgan since he loves to just let it all hang out.

Wish Blake luck. He turns three in a few weeks and needs to keep up with his big sisters trends.

LOOSING MORE OF MORGAN

It was 1:00 in the morning and I was woken to find my daughter next to my bed with her sixth tooth that feel out. I am surprised she did not swallow it. Since this summer Morgan has lost four teeth. I can not believe how big she has became. I look at her every day in amazement of her growth. So for her first grade pictures Morgan was missing four of her teeth. The big top front two will be really noticeable. She will never forget when she lost those teeth.

WHAT A CIRCUS

THE BIGGEST CIRCUS I HAVE SEEN

Well we took the kids to the circus at the I wireless center. It was scout night and we all got discounted tickets. Jason and I took the kids along with Jada. Another friend of Morgan's went with her grandma and they sat with us. So we arrive find our seats and then on to the floor we went to see the preshow. The kids were just watching all the different people perform before the circus. After the show was ready to begin we went to the restroom and got our snacks. The kids wanted and ices. I get in line to find out the cheapest one is 9.00. Of course both of my kids wanted one. So 18.00 later we were back in our seats. Blake was sitting next to me and an older man who was eating popcorn. He started talking to Blake. Blake became more interested in the popcorn and after two bites of ices he said he was done and was sharing popcorn with the guy next to us.

MORGAN LOOKING COOL

The show started and it was all out over the top performance. Jason even enjoyed himself. I was shocked. Blake did walk back and forth between us only to annoy the lady in front of us. He kicked the seat a few times. She must not have any kids of her own to understand that I was trying my hardest to keep him in control. Morgan did enjoy her ices. It lasted almost the whole show. After a great show we hit the streets to find the car. We got to the car and Jason went to put Blake in the car and he feel out only to come up bleeding with a big cut in his eye.

BLAKES INJURY

I was scared and wanted to take him to the ER but Jason thought he was fine. I was nervous the whole way home so I sat in the back with him. The girls feel asleep and so did Blake.

We get to around Viola IL and came upon a state trooper stop. They wanted to see Jason's drivers license and proof of insurance. We had to pull forward and dig for it and the trooper was going to come over in a few minutes to check on us. Jason started yelling at me telling me we were going to get a ticket. We came upon an old insurance card and the trooper looked at it and said that he was sure we still had insurance driving a vehical like we were and he let us go. We had a mess and in the car and away we went. I had enough excitement for one night. A CIRCUS IT WAS.

MORGAN'S FIRST DAY OF FIRST GRADE

This is Morgan's 1st grade teacher Mrs. Flores. We have heard great things about her and Morgan is excited. Can't wait to see how the year goes.

This was Morgan on the first day hanging up her bag. She was excited she even wore her new outfit that Grandma H. had bought her. No more cubbies. I am sad but she is not.

Morgan excited about her desk. She has been waiting for this day to put her things in the desk. She picked the one in the front row. I said she is not shy and loves to be front and center.

These were a few photos of my little girl at her first grade open house. Morgan just loves school so I never have a big issue sending her since she loves being there. Morgan just wanted to get inside the building to find her classroom. I had to get her to slow down a few minutes to get a few pi cutes. On in to the open house we went. She was glad to see some kids from the last school year.

This was Morgan and I in her classroom finding out where to put all her supplies. We had a scavenger hunt to learn were the teacher wanted all the items. We stopped to smile for the camera.

What A Weekend

Diva Girl's

I can blog again. My computer crashed last week and I finally have it back. Lets see if I can get caught up. I feel like I never will with all that is going on. Well to start lets begin.

Mackenine, Jada, and Morgan on the top bunk

I took Morgan's girl scout troop to camp-le-ketta on Friday night. There was 10 girls and 4 adults and we stayed in the troop house. It all went well just a lot of girls really excited. We built a fire and roasted smores. We had a few crafts for the girls to do and we sang songs as well. They were the most excited about the bunk beds. A whole wing of beds they could not get enough of them. I did sleep okay but one girl was up coughing all night. The next morning we ate breakfast did another craft and went out on our hike. We hike to little Switzerland and the girls felt like we had went a long way. We did get to cross a creek and see the tree houses. The hiking game kept them going for awhile then they just complained that there feet were getting wet. It was a short camping trip but enough for the first experience for them.

Morgan Roasting Marshmallows

Morgan then had a birthday party to attend on Saturday for Morgan T. and they swam at Fun City. Morgan was so tired by the end of the day with the weekend she had.

On Sunday I held the Promotion Sunday at church and them off on the road we headed. We went to Quincy to a place called "GOING BONKERS" The kids had a blast. My brother and sister and Tasha all went with the kids. It was a good time. We decided to eat at TGIF's when we got done. The neatest experience occurred. I was the last to walk in and while we were waiting my brother and sister we telling me the coupons they had. Jason and I did not have any. As we approached our table a lady called me over to her table. She handed me some coupons and I did not want to make a scene so I told her thanks. As I got looking I noticed that she handed me the same as 90.00. I was so thankful for her great deed. This lady won 400.00 worth of coupons and she had to use them all that day or they were no good. They were leaving town and thought we could use them. I was so thankful and have not seen this kind of great deed in a long time. It makes me when to keep spreading these kinds of deeds.

Well the Circus is this weekend and some time with family. Enjoy this labor day weekend.
