Today is the start of a long week! For the next 3 days Tim will be leaving early and getting home after we are all fast asleep. He has a work conference here in DM. So, at first I thought of a million places we could go…then I remembered that Nessa is in the process of PT. Not a brilliant idea! So I changed gears and came up with a million things we could do here at home! Then I got sick last night, Nessa is still recovering from being sick and Preston’s cold is still hanging on…so instead of a million great things to do, it may be more around the 100 ballpark! :)
The day started great! I got some stuff done around the house…like hanging pictures in our finally finished bedroom!
Another view…we still have some décor to add, but this looks 100000000000 x better than before!
Another idea of the color scheme.
Then, onto our first project of the day…making chocolate playdough!
What a great depiction of Miss Thing's sassiness today!
Total concentration
The delicious smelling disaster!
The playdough turned out a little dry, but it kept them occupied for an hour! Mission accomplished!

Then, disaster struck...Nessa had her first potty accident, well, kind of. She became really quiet and said in a tiny voice, “Mommy, I need to go potty!” but she had already gone a little bit. I didn’t know just how much because the baby legs she was wearing (Thanks Allie for whipping those up so fast!) were really absorbent! So I cleaned her up and she said, “I have to go potty MOMMY!” so I took her in and she went. So…great job stopping the flow lady! :)
Then both kids got MAJOR attitude and ended up in T.O. with a spanking. Nessa’s first (especially diaperless) and probably only Preston’s third. But it had everyone really happy for the next 2-4 minutes…no wait, I had to reset the timer because they were so out of sorts…the next 4-8 minutes! Whew, after that we ate a very quite lunch and we were all (including me) in a much better mood after that!
Then...IT happened...
The 3 of us sat, and sat, and sat, and sat, and read a LONG book, and....NESSA POOPED!! (I know, just imagining myself 7 years ago ever thinking those words would come from my mouth to a public blog, NEVER CROSSED MY MIND!!! But hey, life changes and so do we!)
This picture cracks me up because she was SO excited and jumping around that she is all blurry. Don't look too closely in the potty (especially you Brooke!) but I saw it on John & Kate+8 once. How they took a pix of the kids with their "big accomplishment" and the look on their face was priceless. Well, it is and until you potty train a 2 yr old, you won't understand!
A little more composed! But still beaming! So what does a big girl earn upon doing such a great deed...
A manicure and a lollipop, what else?!?!?!
We are so, SO proud of you Ness! Keep up the good work Ladybug!
