This Week: was full of list making, long night talks, cool breezes in the afternoon, and creamsicles. It was also full of nail painting parties (the joys of having lots of girls), cartoons, time-outs, fresh melon, and a dangerous trip to the carwash, so pretty average and good all around:)
Side-note: Every time I think we're getting into a steady rhythm, something big comes up that could potentially throw everything off balance. Now that Evie is a month old (wahhh) and sleeping and eating right on schedule, it's time to potty-train John! This is the first little man that I've ever had to potty train and I confess that I was a little scared to get started, but there's no turning back now, and since I've been changing three kids diapers 5+ times a day for the last month, nobody is more motivated than me to get this thing done.haha

DeleteIf you're in need of book recommendations... I recently finished The Martian, it's actually being made into a movie and will be released in October. Anyway- it was a great read! Not super long, had intense moments but was also funny enough that I would laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to share!
