I LOVE a good weekend, & this one was GREAT!

We had a really nice weekend.

Friday I got to have Bayli,
my sister even brought her over and we all played
Ticket to Ride.

Saturday I made a run for it and had a quick
overnight girls trip with Billy, my sister &
my mom away at the new mountain house.
We had about 24 hours of girl time. We got
to go to the little local bar and shoot some pool.
We had a lovely dinner together, danced
and mostly just laughed and had a wonderful
time. It was heaven.

I missed my babies, it was so nice to come
back home to them.
On Sunday we went to a beautiful wedding.
I'm so happy for the bride & groom, I love weddings : )

John has been working all weekend on our yard.
It looks wonderful!!!
It is so nice to see him be able to relax for 3 whole
days in a row, even if "relaxing" actually means
working his butt off all weekend beautifying
our house. (He loves doing it, thank goodness!)

The cutest thing?
Ava loves to help him. She follows him all over the
place, chattering away the whole time. She digs,
finds worms, hunts ladybug, plots hanging unripe
cherries back on the tree so they will continue to
grow. It makes my heart sing to see the two of them
enjoy their thing. I just love that.

What a great weekend.

I'm so glad you had fun.

Way to go for John, getting everything looking nice and trim. I'm so glad that mowing the lawn is the guy's job :)

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
