Ski Weekend and Potty Progress

Paul's birthday was Monday so we spent the weekend at his folks' condo at Crescent Bar so we could go skiing at a nearby ski resort.  We left Friday evening, stopped for pizza on the way and then skied Saturday while his parents watched the girls.  I hadn't been skiing in about 4 years, and I'm pretty novice to begin with, but I actually did better than I thought, although I had to quit earlier than I would have liked because it was snowing pretty good and the groomed runs were no longer very groomed, making it a lot harder, for me anyway.  But it was still really fun.

On Sunday he went back up with his parents while I stayed with the girls, and we came home on Monday and they took us all out for his birthday dinner at our local Mexican restaurant.  It was a great weekend.

In other news, Kayley is almost fully daytime potty trained!  It's weird, because just a few weeks ago we were at a total loss, them having just turned 3 and not being anywhere close and adamantly refusing to go most of the time.  Then, all of a sudden, she just started going.  I had one really good day where I was on top of taking her every hour or so and she managed to keep her Pull-up dry most of the day, so the next day I put her in big girl underwear and she stayed dry most of that day, even going completely on her own a few times.  Since then, she's been wearing big girl underwear most of the time (excpet at night or if we go somewhere) and mostly staying dry.  She does have an accident every now and then, but she's doing great for the most part.  Olivia, on the other hand, will still hardly ever go.  We're hoping now that Kayley is mostly trained and wearing regular underwear, she'll be motivated to follow suit soon.

The weather has been crappy all week so we've been stuck inside, which has been a great way for me to get caught up on laundry and housework, but still a little boring.  Fortunately, Olivia loves to dance (and Kayley is usually a willing partner) so they've been able to burn off some energy.

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
