Happy Friday!!


I'm excited to be off to my first women's retreat with the ladies from my church, I'm so happy Jessica is coming too, yay!  It should be a great weekend!  

I spent yesterday tearing down the new pool.  I noticed how crazy dirty it was getting so I went about attempting to clean it.  Um, how??  There is no drain and after bailing a million buckets of water out and trying over and over to siphon the nasty water, I finally gave up & had John help me flip it over, leaving a slimy mess.  

In the middle of looking up ways to clean the pool and siphon the water I came across all kind of articles about the bacteria breeding ground that I was fostering.  YUCK.

The whole time all I could think was WE ARE NOT KEEPING THIS POOL.  I explained to the kids that it just wasn't working out.  I promised them we'd get a smaller pool, that was easier to clean.  They were surprisingly understanding about this disappointing turn of events.  Hopefully they can find the same level of joy with the new one, that had such a blast with that giant one!

Oh well, such is life. 

I have no real pictures from this week, I've been slacking. 

The few I have are of them sleeping, shocking I know...
 The love between these girls makes me so happy!!


Daddy even got in on the action that night!  

Have a great weekend!

Adventures in Potty Training...

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...
