First Egg Hunt of the Season!

Today was our neighborhood egg hunt eggstravaganza!  Here Anna is ready to get some eggs!

Anna in action... and yes, she is barefoot... she refused to put on her shoes!

Stopping to check out what was inside an egg...

Cheese!

Please disregard the first 20 seconds of this, as Mark didn't know it was on and I couldn't figure out how to cut the beginning...

The train is cool!

Potty Training Wrap-Up and Girls' Night!

So, the potty training didn't happen in 3 days and I kept it up for another day and a half but Anna just wasn't quite ready... we are going to keep trying not so intensely and see what happens, but I'm not going to stress about it!  She'll figure it out someday ... maybe when she helps me change Luke's diaper.  heehee!  Tonight, I went to the Cheesecake Factory (YUM!) with some friends for Girls' Night out and had a wonderful time.  Mark got to go to watch the Baylor game on tv with a friend (they won by a landslide, so he was happy, even though it wasn't a very exciting game) and we had the babysitters come over to watch Anna... so I think we all had a great night!  Anna had the undivided attention of twin 15-yr-olds, so I know she had fun :)

Potty Training - Day 2

Yesterday was day 2 of potty training and we had a lot more trips to the bathroom... mostly we didn't make it in the potty, but she would at least tell me and head that way!  It was a fabulous weather day, so we had to go out and play in the sandbox a little bit after nap!!  Notice our fine sandbox attire on potty training day :)

Day 1 of Potty Training!

Today we started potty training!  I would call it rather uneventful so far, but I was figuring on that since she doesn't seem to go very often.  We've been stepping up the water and adding juices and even some popsicles, but we've only been 3 times so far... we're doing good so far!  This is a picture of Anna with her new playdoh ice cream shoppe that I got on sale at Target.  It seems to be a big hit for potty training entertainment. :)

St. Paddy's Playgroup Party!

Today we had the playgroup St. Patrick's Day party here at the house.  It was much fun!  Here's the spread and some of the guests.

A shot playing in the living room.

Anna in someone's chair.

Trying to get all the kids in a group shot!  It was wild...

Here are all the kids, except one, I think!!

Here's Cathryn who was missing from the picture.  I hope Anna doesn't think it's fun to do this sometime... she'd never tried it before, but Cathryn and Lincoln both showed her how fun it was!

A Little Luke Shower

This weekend, my high school buddies gave me a little shower.

My favorite part was the yummy cake :D

Look what crafty Angela made!

Here's a nice swimming pool for the duck.

Anna enjoyed the cake, too.

Ang, Brandy & me.

The girls!

Luke is set!  And he will be here in less than 2 months!!  Whoo hoo!

Playing with Daniel in Waskom

This weekend we came to Waskom for our last time before Luke is born.  We got in lots of visiting with grandparents and family and friends.  Nicole and Daniel were here to visit, too.  They enjoyed some time together on the swingset...

And even watching a little tv.
