8.30.15

This week Brett was out of town Monday-Thursday. Grandma and Grandpa came down to visit after work Monday night. We all ended up going out to dinner together.

We had some friends come over one afternoon. They all loved playing in the dress ups together. They make quite the cute bunch!


This is the reason there are very few pictures this week. We started potty training. It is a a lot of work. Some days she's had no accidents, but others we've had multiple. It has been exhausting. I have given her my phone multiple times while she is on the toilet, and this is one of the gems that I was graced with.  


Dishes. This is currently one of her favorite things. She loves to stand on her step and help. She will wash and hand them to one of us to load. She doesn't like being told that dishes are all done and she need to get down and dry off. 

She really loves her bike. I forget how much she likes it. I need to get it out for her more often after we get back from exercising together. She is getting more and more brave at what she dares to try. She has started going down part of our driveway that adds a little bit of speed to her going. 


Saturday we got together with some of Brett's family to do corn. Our family chose to can some and freeze some. I think we have enough to last us a year, and it only cost us $20 and a bit of time. Brett and I came home and canned tomatoes and pickles. It is so nice to be able to provide for ourselves through the things that we grow. Added bonus is that it always tastes better too!
