Potty Princess
Potty training makes me crazy. It makes me even crazier that she wants to wear this dress while doing it and prefers to be called “Giselle” instead of Charlotte (from the movie Enchanted).
But look how cute she is:
How can I get mad at that sweet little thing?
And, for the record, we are kicking some serious potty training behind today.
I hope I didn’t just jinx it.
Rockstar poses
My children have a band. It’s called “Pink Zebra”. Here are a few shots from the last performance.
Olivia has perfect form. Notice the slightly bent knee and hair in the face.
Here Charlotte rocks a pair of blue goggles and a serious attitude.
Charlotte Quotes…
Me: Charlotte you’re crazy! You can’t wear a bathing suit to bed.
Charlotte: No daddy I’m not crazy. I’m a ballerina.
One morning with my girls……
This is what happens when my girls are given free reign of the house for one morning.
Guess I know what I’m doing during naptime.
Free Storage!!
Many of you know that this pregnancy caught us a little of guard. “How off guard”, you ask? We found out that Baby #3 was on the way almost two months to the day from when we donated that vast majority of our baby goods to My Sister’s House.
That’s right, we gave it all away. The travel system, the high chair, the bouncy seat, etc. You name it; we gave it away. We just looked around our little house that has major storage problems, and figured that it would be years before we had another baby in our house (if ever again), so we thought someone else could use it more than us.
I think that makes us the official fourth verse to Alanis Morrisette’s “Isn’t it Ironic”.
So here’s the deal, it would be silly for us to go out and buy all new stuff, and I’m not having a traditional baby shower, so we are going to offer to “store” your baby stuff for you 
Erin has offered to loan us an infant car seat and a bassinet (thanks!), but here’s what we’re lacking:
Stroller
High Chair
Bumbo
Bouncy Seat
Swing (we actually didn’t donate this, it just died)
Just think of all of the storage space you can free up in your house! We’ll be glad to “store” any other baby stuff collecting dust at your house too.
Thanks!
Blast from the past.
Let’s settle it once and for all. Which one of our kids looks the most like me… and most like Katie.
This was from our rehearsal dinner. Take a look and try not to make fun of me for my middle school pictures.
A Blue Day
I go back and forth between whether I think that this is a boy baby or a girl baby. I’ve decided that, at this point, it’s a Win-Win situation. I don’t have a boy yet so that would be really cool, but there is also something special about having three-of-a-kind. We’ll be thrilled at either outcome, but….today is a Blue Day.
Today I want a little boy. Mainly because of something I read over at my friend Heather’s blog:
“When you have a boy, you have to worry about one boy on the planet. When you have a girl, you have to worry about every boy on the planet.”
Sigh.
The weekend at a glance
This was a good weekend. Take a look…
The girls start by browsing their favorite new site. Yo Gabba Gabba
Then I remember that we have an inflatable pool and of course the girls are game.
Olivia is relentless with the water hose.
Charlotte gets cold.
The girls help Katie make some down home cookin.
Katie makes the best country style meal I think I have ever had in my life anywhere.
Ice cream for dessert.
Olivia plots.
We head to the Go Girl festival in Marietta Square.
The girls try to hula hoop.
It was fun.
Mini Vanning
Today we gave the Willis boys a ride to school. It was crazy, loud and fun. A little too much flirting in the back seat, but hey I’m probably just a little over protective.
Fairly odd…but cute
My children love wearing goggles. Not swimming, just wearing goggles. It’s just a little weird, but of course I love them anyway. Charlotte wore them all the way home.
