Bradlee has been interested in the potty for a while now. This is more because he sees his big sister using it, as well as his mommy and daddy and every other adult in his life! So, we pulled out the little potty from the shed (we were cleaning out the shed anyway!) and have it in his room. He sits and sits and sits, and nothing happens! :) We're not so sure he quite knows what he's supposed to do on it, but he's still pretty cute just sitting there...
Emma's been very interested in watching "new" movies lately. We started lightly with "Night at the Museum" and "Night at the Museum 2" - and she LOVED them! She calls them "Night at the Nuseum"! LOL So then I moved to Harry Potter...we watched the first one, and she liked it. Apparently she had seen some of it when it was on TV, so she said, "Mama! This is the one where they go to the forest and find the unicorn!" So the fact that she kind of knew about it helped. The following weekend, we watched the 2nd movie...she did well with that one, too! I warned her, this past weekend, when we went to watch #3, that it's a little bit scarier, but she still wanted to watch it...so here she is watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
As you can see, she was a little nervous...and she's trying really hard not to smile because she kept sliding off the edge of the couch! LOL We haven't finished the movie yet, but she's liking it a lot. At one point, she came running into the laundry room and said, "MAMA!! Sirius Black is IN THE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!" HA! :)
This past Saturday, while Tony was working a wedding, I took the kids to Sam's to pick up some milk, cream cheese and Bradlee's birthday cake. Three simple items, should have taken a half hour, tops, right? WRONG. I got the milk, the cream cheese, some samples for the kids they had out, and went to get the cake...it was a mess. You could see the cake through the frosting, the border was choppy, the writing was horrible and it looked like they accidentally spent Bradlee's name "Brd..." then tried correcting it and it just looked bad. So I told them to redo it (nicely, of course!)...they said they would do it right then, so we just waited. We ended up taking the milk and cream cheese back so they wouldn't go bad, then going to the book section and I read them books while they sat in the cart. Worked out pretty well, but an HOUR later, we were finally walking out of Sam's with milk, cream cheese AND a great looking cake!
Since the kids were so good while we were in there, and it was already 6:30pm, I decided to treat them to Burger King! Here they are enjoying their meals:
After they ate, I took them to a small playground behind a church near our house. It's a really cute little playground and has some unique little play things. They also have a set of bars to hang from (which I had a picture of Bradlee hanging from in an earlier post)...Emma loves to show off her gymnastics skills...and then she asked, "Mama, when can I start ganaxis again?" Made me smile, 'cause that's exactly why we don't have her take the classes during the summer...that way we can make sure SHE wants to continue...and that just proved that she still likes it!
Bradlee loves the bridge at the playground, and Emma loves playing "pirate" on the big wooden ship, which is complete with a window and a fire pole! :)
