so here's the challenge:

and from my I SHOULD BUY A BOAT
it WAS corky romano....


awarded to...PJ
now. save those points...cause they are redeemable for...um...
something awesome.




and just an added story.
my daughter is almost potty trained (I say almost...cause while she has number 1 down...number 2 still scares her....)

and we went to the park.

and there was a porta potty.

and it was...well a porta potty.
gross.

and my daugther backed up outta there lickety split and said
no mom..
there's poop.

and she was right.
there was poop.
a lot of visibable poop.

so I did what any mom in a potty training situation would do.

we pulled her mickey mouse panties down and we watered the grass.

we were kinda behind a tree.
 don't judge.

now. i tell you that story to tell you this story.

as I sit here blogging...and generally ignoring the children.

i see my daughter walk in from the porch, panties in hand.

and when i went out to discover why her panties were off.
um...
she watered my deck for me.
so nice of her.


i told her to pee in the toilet.


THEN as i was heading over to my mother in laws house

(who is right next door in case you forgot.)

i catch my daughter squating on my front step.....

yup. watered that down too.

hey...at least it's not in her panties...or my carpet.

wear you shoes if I ever invite you over for a bbq.

  1. We've got one of these silly things that I keep under the drivers seat for emergency use http://www.amazon.com/Kalencom-1730-blue-Potty-Blue/dp/B000F1MM2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309366656&sr=8-1
    only had to use it a couple times, but it was a lifesaver. Also, I find target bags work just as well as the $$ refills they sell (just stick with Target, since the other bags aren't thick enough and you would not want to chance a torn bag!).

  4. When we were on a road trip to see my sister in Post Falls last year, my son (he was 4 at the time), decided (20 minutes after we left a decent gas station). that he had to poop. So we find a fisherman's spot that had a port a potty. He refused to go. He was going to hold it until he could go in a good smelling toilet. He waited for about an hour before we came to a rest stop. My husband took him to go and while in the stall, he yells out, "Dad! My poop is stuck! Can you come and get it out?" Well, there were a few men in there who bust out laughing. Well, he waited until we got to my sisters to go, which was still about 3 hours away. And thanks to him, we have a funny story to tell his future wife:)

  5. My son pees on everything outside. It was the way we started getting him to pee not in his diaper. He totally peed on a tree in front of our public library. Not my finest mommy moment. And I like the picture with your daughter's underwear on her head. My little one year old does that with her big brother's undies!

  8. OK....1st I have to apologize. I had no idea I wasn't a public follower!!!!! You are my favorite blog and I stalk you every day....HOW was I not an official follower??? There should have been a warning from somewhere in the blogosphere. Anyway-that issue has been resolved. I am just in shock. I blame my husband...because he probably caused me a distraction that caused this oversight. Yeah...he did it. : )

    OK...You are a crazy bow and ruffle lady....and I like it : ) Hot gluing a pillow...yeah...you are genius. I SO want to make one of those shaggy pillows...I can't remember what it's called. Bows are in fact, not my style (YIKES...I can't believe I told you that!!!) But I dig ruffles!!!!!! So I'm still sort-a in, right?

    AND...your red-neck story of your daughter's pee adventures makes me feel closer to you : ) HA! I LOVE real mama's who share all the REAL stories...no matter what! LOVE! I'm gonna go now....my little one passed out early...I am going to take over the world!!!

  9. Okay, I'm totally in LOVE with that bow pillow. I think my girls' beds each need one. I have added it to my to do list. That list is way too large.

    As for peeing (wow, that's quite the segue). We were at a friends house the other night. They live on an acreage with 4 boys. I looked out and youngest one was totally peeing on a tree. I laughed out-loud and said to the mom "Is Nathan peeing on the tree?" She looks out "Yup, looks like it." And then proceeded to tell me that they had to assign him places he could do it because he would "water" pretty much anything including the deck I was standing on. I had to keep a straight face as I went through the check list in my head that yes I was wearing shoes and yes, it had rained really recently. I would say that I'm so glad I have girls, but apparently that doesn't help anything.
