fun summer days

Sunday July 20th, my 35th birthday.  Church -we were an hour late due to some Calvin hesitation in wanting to go - but made it without too many battle wounds.  After church, quiet time and swimming with the Hussmans who just got home from 3 weeks vacation! Then Jessica, bless her, brought over the most amazing dinner and dad, bless him, brought over a mother load cake from claim jumper. Great day.

Monday - Clare had voice lessons with Jessica. The little girls and I went to the library for a few minutes while we waited for her. Then we came home and the girls played super well together while I  packed. Jo's room is pretty well organized. A few things left to pack but closet is 100% empty. Great. Office is about done, Calvin's room is done....leaves the kitchen, my room and some miscellaneous stuff. The miscellaneous stuff is always the worst. Jo took a short nap while the girls watched a move. When Calvin got home we went to JC Penny to get him glasses. This of course took forever but the kids were pretty well behaved. $50 on glasses with a summer special (normally $330). How long 'til he breaks them?  Cliffords came over for swim, dinner and FHE and cake. We will be eating cake for a week! Awesome day.


Jo decided that since her mother didn't want to potty train her, she'd potty train herself. she insists on wearing underwear all the time and does great. I try to get her a pull up for nap and bed and am usually successful at least for bed time. Jo is awesome. She is in that funny stage where she INSISTS on doing everything on her own, is COMPLETELY offended if you offer help or call her small/baby/little, and yet needs a little help now and then. Funny, wonderful child.

 

 

This was a month ago, Jo's first time going poo on the potty. At our dentist office they have a cute little potty that is just the right size for a 3-5 year old.
