Top 7

Top 7 for the Week:

7.  Schedules.  Mal started school this past week, which is an adjustment.  I feel like our routine is all up in the air...and we will take awhile to get into the groove.  Thank heavens it's only her at school.  And not me.  I still get to do the things I want to do. 

6.  Lake Cora.  Our little secret getaway was visited by us THREE times this week.  It was perfect.  It IS perfect.  I took the kids there by myself in the evening one day this past week.  They LOVED it.  I caught about 15 or so minnows.  It truly was the perfect weather and the kids love it. It helps that they sleep well after going too!!

5.  Potty Training.  I've started with Clayton.  He went poopy on the potty this past week which was huge.  He is scared sh--less of doing it!  But we are getting there.  He definitely wants to.  Which HELPS!

4.  Clayisms.  Clay has been breaking things.  I know this is just the beginning.  This week it was a few books, his piggy bank, and a canister of coffee. He also pooped on the potty--totally on his own without me saying a word.  A small miracle.

3.  Malloryisms.  Quite a few cute sayings this week.  She kissed me on the leg one day this week and states..."Did that go up to your heart?  Did it think of me?"  Sweetest thing ever.  "It's okay Clayton.  It's me Mallory."  "Daddy didn't peal this orange so well."  "Making chocolate chip cookies is too big of a chore for you, so I will help you." 

2.  Mal's First Day of School.  She was so excited!!  She came home telling me that a boy pulled her hand and there was a new girl in her class who like to ride her bike and had a kitty just like her. 

1.  Jay's Old.  My hubby had his birthday this week--Labor Day to be exact.  I ended up surprising him with a babysitter for dinner and then drinks out with friends.  He LOVED it and was SO surprised.  He did not see it coming.  It's good to know that I can keep a good secret in every once and awhile:o)
