Not Me Monday - wk14

I definitely did not decide in about 5 minutes on Saturday morning to drive to PA so my husband could go to the Pittsburgh/Buffalo football game that night with my dad and bother-in-law. We would never throw a bunch of stuff in a bag and drive 4 hours to only spend less than 24hrs at my parent's house. I also would not give my daughter a laxative 3 hours before I decided to go to PA. Nope, I plan things better.

I also do not still have a huge pile of blankets & clothes in my room to put away in the attic after cleaning out my daughter's closet.....3 weeks ago....! I think I know what I am not doing today.


I would never beg people to look at my entry in the Martha Stewart's DIY Wedding Crafts Contest. I entered my wedding cake place card holders I made for my friend's wedding. You can find my entry here. I would love if everyone could give me 5 stars and leave a comment. The contest ends Sept 1st. and will be announced Oct. 15th.





Update on the potty training: Lily is staying dry during naps. I am still putting her in a diaper during them though. At night she is staying pretty dry, too. She hadn't had a bm in 3 going on 4 days so I bought a over the counter children's laxative and that helped. She did it in a diaper and then I put another diaper on her and she walked over to me when I was doing the dishes, took off her diaper and threw it at me and told me she had to pee. Yes, my daughter is a sassy one. She then pooped and peed in the potty. We did a happy dance and after nap went to the store to pick out a littlest pet shop. We are still having a pooping problem. But considering she has pretty much potty trained herself in a week, we are doing great.

Last Weekend

So last weekend we were very busy. My husband took off that Thursday and Friday so we had a long weekend planned. It was hot and sticky here that whole weekend.

We went to the Erie Co. Fair...

...rode A LOT of rides and played a game or two...----------------------------------------

We went to the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester...

...saw Nemo... ...and penguins formulating a plan...

...played on a playground...

---------------------------

We spend most of Saturday & Sunday at the beach...

---------------------------

So what am I doing this weekend? Doing the happy dance!!

Can I have a WOOT WOOT!?!? I bought Lily Littlest Petshop (her favorite) underwear yesterday and she has decided she no longer wants to wear diapers. She absolutely wants to wear underwear like mommy & Ian. So after nap yesterday I brought the potty downstairs and she went pee 6 times in it and had 2 accidents. After the 2nd accident I was leaning toward putting her back in a diaper, but decided against it. After that she walked over to the potty, pulled her underwear down and went. WOOT WOOT!! Today she has only had 1 accident so far besides wearing a diaper for nap. She is doing fantastic! I had every intention of starting the potty training process in Sept/Oct, but Lily had other plans. Crossing fingers and toes that this is it and she totally gets it.

Yes, I realize that this may be TMI....but I am really excited about no more diapers.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
