Children's Museum With Katie & Kyla

Amelia and I met Katie and Kyla at the Children's Museum for a play date. We had a great time and the weather was perfect! Here are some pictures:

Potty Training Breakthrough!!

For some reason Amelia seems to have magically gotten on the potty training bandwagon this week. She has started spontaneously excusing herself to go to the bathroom and has been in underpants all weekend with only one accident yesterday and NONE today, including successfully using the potty twice while we were out to dinner. Go Amelia!!

(And yes, it was absolutely necessary to take her picture on the toilet in the restaurant's bathroom for this blog post.)

Gingerbread Cookies

So Charlie and I won't be winning any contests for our cookie decorating skills but they sure tasted good!

He's Baaaaack....

The Elf On The Shelf has joined us once again for the Christmas season! And I told Charlie that if he is up at 5am again tomorrow morning looking for the Elf's hiding spot, I will be asking Santa to find the Elf a new home :-)

Christmas Tree 2012

Early Christmas Present

Here is our new family computer, a Dell all in one with a touch screen & Windows 8. Since its been 7 years since we bought a computer, we are excited!

Just Enough Snow

We have just a dusting, but enough to put us in the mood for some Christmas tree decorating tonight! And trust my kids to find a way to have a snowball fight :-)
