Therapy

I had a much needed girls night out on Friday. There are very few people in this world that I feel I can truly be myself around. It was very refreshing to be around these girls and talk about anything and everything. Who needs therapy when you can have a girls night out with great friends?!? We started out with dinner and drinks at the Tip. We were so busy talking that I don't think any of us ate much of our food (that could have been my first problem of the evening!!). We talked as though we were the only 4 people in that place. I'm sure the people at the surrounding tables got a kick out of some of our conversations. After we had dinner we headed over to the Rosebud and then to Kirby. Since what happens between the girls stays between the girls... all I can say is the next day I missed work and didn't get out of bed until 2 p.m.!! It was the best girls night we've had so far and I look forward to many more wonderful memories with wonderful friends.

Ooohh, this could have been my second problem of the evening!

Happy 30th birthday Debby! Maybe at our next night out you guys can fill me in on some of the details that are a little fuzzy!!! :) Love you girls!

Hannah's new do

I just have to show off my little model. Hannah & Parker went for hair cuts today. Hannah had about 3 inches cut off. She loves it and so does every one else. I did get a little teary when Jenn made the first cut and I watched that hair fall to the floor. Parker had his hair cleaned up too... that's always an adventure. He didn't scream like he did the last time but he did not want her touching his ears. It does look really cute though. Enjoy the pics!

This is her before we left for the salon...
And this is after...

Here is Mr. P too...

I'm impatient

I just couldn't wait for my camera to charge. I took a few pics of the kids just to see how well it worked. The pictures downloaded in 2 seconds (my old camera.. when it would work.. took 30 minutes!). Here are a couple that I took to try it out.

I am really happy with my new toy. More great pics to come.

Good news

A couple of fun things to share...

First, I finally broke down and bought a new camera tonight. The camera we currently have is one we bought before Hannah was born. While it's still an okay camera as far as picture quality, I have not been able to download any of my pictures to share with friends & family. My new camera is charging as I type this and with any luck I will be able to post pictures again soon.

Secondly, I am very happy to announce that Hannah is finally COMPLETELY potty trained. That's right, she is going #2 on the toilet like a champ! Last week when we ran out of diapers I told her that we went to the store but they were out of diapers. Her response to me was "did you check at Meijer mom?" I said yes, they are out and all they had were these pull ups. She knows that she is not supposed to go in a pull up. After "holding it" from Sunday until THURSDAY night, she couldn't take it anymore and gave up. Another battle won for me finally. Next adventure... Parker! I have always heard that boys are harder to train than girls and most of you know how hard my journey with Hannah has been (she will be 4 next month)! Wish me luck.
