Weekend Fun

 We had a nice weekend.
 On Friday we took the kids to Dawson Creek to ride
their bikes.  This was perfect, Ava is still getting the hang 
of it and Colton really inspires her to keep going.  He is a 
little rock star on his bike with NO training wheels!!
  They rode and rode for at least an hour and a half.
Ava would of never went that far, but chasing Colton
made it fun!  There were even lots of hills but she did it!
 Where is Colton??
 At some point we realized we had lost Norah's 
shoe, so the Shoe Hunt began!
 We retraced our steps looking all over the place.
We eventually found the shoe, both kids rode right
by it, big help they are : )
We saw a nutria:
Colton taking a little rest.
 Goodbye love.
 On Saturday John & I took the kids to OMSI.
 It took us approximately 42 years to find a parking spot.
 It was REALLY crowded, we were over it pretty quickly.
But the kids loved it!




 Norah likes sitting on little chairs.
 Norah LOVES standing on little chairs,
the more dangerous the better.
After we left OMSI I got to go out on a date with my sister!!
She and Mike broke up so I got to be her plus one for the night.
We went to an all you can eat crab dinner at the Greek church
downtown, then we had box seats at the ballet.  We saw
Giselle, it was pretty amazing. After that we went out drinking 
with my newly turned 21 year old brother.  There may or may not
have been many drinks, a lot of laughter and strippers involved.

It was a super fun night.  It is such a rare occasion when I get to 
get out of the house and super rare to be able to hang out with
my brother and sister!!  I love my family!!

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
