Geez! I keep waiting for things to slow down....but they don't!
MASON performed a play at school about Paul Revere.
I had a bad seat and ended up being more entertained
by the audience than the actual play itself.
Watching adults hold up cell phones to record
is just plain comical if you ask me!
We made sure to get an "after" photo with the
supporting sibs....and that's all that really matters
MACKS had a preschool Christmas performance.
The fact that he stood with the kids, actually moved his
mouth to sing, and smiled with that many people
staring at him was miraculous!
and he only got embarrassed a few times....
with his proud brothers at the end!!
Our BFF's the LODERS came into town from Hawaii.
We met and had a delicious dinner at their
restaurant of choice....Del Taco!?!?!
I know...I know...but clearly Hawaii doesn't have
Del Taco and they like it!
Plus...we were the only ones there and the
place play entertained the kids for a good 2+ hours!
Look what the 4 of us have created?!?!
And last but certainly not least.....
MARLEY became potty trained!!
She's technically been ready for a long time,
but the mother of this house knew that this stubborn,
independent, and busy girl would give her a run for her money.
And boy has she!!
She purposely waits to go when I'm not watching....
because she needs to do it
"BY MYSELF CAUSE ME IS A BIG GIRL!"
And big girls wipe themselves,
(think clogged toilets and messy toilet seats)
wash their hands by themselves,
(think sinks FULL to the top of foaming soap)
touch every surface possible in a public restroom
(even with their mother shouting, "Put your hands in the air.
Up high! Do NOT touch a single thing!")
Up high! Do NOT touch a single thing!")
and leave their mother thinking....
I would WAAAY rather change a diaper full of
man poop (Bill's name for it)
than deal with all of this!!!
Buuuuttt - it was time.
The very best part of being potty trained?!?
Laying out EVERY pair of clean undies EVERY morning
and taking 10 minutes to decide which ones to wear!
Oh the excitement and joy!!

Oh how I love that little girl. She is a special one, but you do have your hands full. Good luck!
I love this, Chiara. We are an undies FACTORY at our house. I get so tired of separating them after they come out of the dryer that I just make a huge pile and let them take what's theirs. This actually describes our whole laundry system: whites, darks, and pinks. 'Sparkly' is almost a pile of it's own these days. It was great to hang out with you guys! Kate wants to play with Marley again...
