Old Friends, Parties, and Fireworks

WHAT a busy weekend...Great, but busy.

Friday night, I got to hang out with some old friends. Old friends who didn't know each other, but that I knew seperately and they finally got to meet!

I have no pictures of this, bad mommy!! But on Saturday, we went to a block party at my parents. We let the kids stay up as late as they wanted and eat anything they wanted. They made their meal out of cookies, cake, and fruit. Needless to say, they slept in on Sunday.

My company had a Fourth of July celebration on Sunday evening. We went to their airline hangar and got to watch old WWII planes fly around and they even got to tour inside of one! Free food and drinks, planes, and fireworks? I am down. I thought Avery wouldn't do so well all night with the heat and the loud, so she went to stay with Gigi and Pops. I really had to twist their arms. Right. The event was next to Kaboom town so we went there first.

The company also got this massive bounce house for the kids. They literally played on that thing for hours. Their feet were BLACK by the time they were done.

They had stars out on the tables as decor, so Sophia had some fun...

Fireworks always bring tears to my eyes. I just love the Fourth.

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! This might be my new favorite family picture.

Can I be one of your kids and have cake for dinner? I'm trying to tell myself that since I'll only be pregnant once I should live it up...so maybe I'll have cake tonight for dinner :)

And that family picture with everybody in their red/white/blue flag shirts is adorable! You should put that in one of the frames you've redone :)

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
