Hip-Hip Hooray!

I must say my kids have had a great summer thus far...there are only 27 days left and we are nowhere near being ready to get back to a tight morning schedule, carpooling, sports practices and games and homework.  We are loving our lazy days of pool fun, dressing up, playing outside 'til dark, and no stress schedules.

For Miss Cupcake....SHE DID IT!  She is completely potty trained!  I am so proud of my little girl.  We started potty training before we left for Hawaii in the hopes to be able to travel with out any pull-ups. We managed to get the pee-pee down, but the poo-poo was a bit harder (despite the poo-poo prize jar).  She gave me the last soiled underpants on my birthday - when I told her that it was my birthday and it was my turn (she started her potty training on daddy's birthday as a present for him) to have a gift of a potty trained girl!  Well, that was all it took and my girl was trained!  No accidents and she's been doing great!

Here are some pictures of our summer days in VBS-here are Rock Harbor's VBS- The Quest

Oh my gosh your kids are just plain ADORABLE! Your heart must just swell memorizing every curly little lock! And I can tell big brother is quite a growing little gentleman, as well! Great summertimes! Ours come to an end NEXT WEDNESDAY! I've made swimming arrangements EVERY day from now until then to make sure we utilize that pool as much as possible! Yikes, they're gonna be exhausted that first day of school! Love your photos!
