St. Pat's Survived

Another St. Pat's has come and gone and as I have taken a vacation day to recover and finish the cleaning - or surveying the damage - depending on the room I am cleaning I've had some time to reflect on some of the weekend's highlights. As I am finding some 2nd day discoveries behind toilets I am cursing a few of those highlights. Right now I am just thankful for Lysol......
I didn't take any pictures which I wish I would have as it was an entertaining weekend. Some tried to reclaim some of their former college glory days and others came up with a few new surprises. But here are a couple of the highlights:

• Boat races in the garage
• Summer weather and being outside most of the weekend
• 45 minute french fries
• Boat races again after midnight....
  
• Scandalous
  
• I need a portal
• My muscles hurt.....
• If the trailer is a rockin......or am I rocking, maybe it's the wind?
• Text pick/hook ups at bars
• 3 Man
• Forgetting the rules to 3-Man and making up a few new ones
  
• Scott not speaking English after 30 minutes of 3-Man
  
• Is this Hangover 2? No - it's Bridesmaids
• Filthy stinky aromas - not exactly a highlight but present every night, morning, and afternoon. You shouldn't be able to clear out of driveway with your stink if you are outside but our friends are just that skilled.

So as I wait for the carpet cleaner to show up I am thankful that everyone made it home safely and had a good time. And we survived yet another St. Pat's, and continue to enjoy our version of the "Best Ever".

Abby's First Father Daughter Dance

This past Friday night was the Auxvasse Elementary Father Daughter Dance and we found out that Preschoolers could attend as well. So there was a purchase of a dress that twirls and jewelry and make up applied. As you can see my little 5 year old looks all grown up.




Posing outside with Tim. Megan had to get a little jewelry and make up on as well so she didn't feel left out.

Posing.....again.

And a Megan update!! By some miracle the whole potty training thing clicked this past weekend. She was in big girl panties all weekend with one minor accident. We might be seeing the end of pull ups in our near future..... We'll be at the end of our potty chart by the end of the week.
We are very proud of her!

Abby was kind enough to pose with Megan as well. Megan let her borrow her Tinkerbell necklace and a couple rings which was a nice sharing surprise.

This weekend is our annual St. Pat's party with the Rolla crew. Wish us luck that it's not too painful.
