Back Home and Lovin' It!

It's nice to go on vacation, but it's nice to be back home. While we were on vacation we worked on potty training Melissa. (The cottage has wood floors - much easier to clean than my carpets!) We got over most of the tough part and now that we're home she's doing very well. We've gone 3 days with no accidents, and SHE has been the one to tell ME that she has to go potty. That's pretty exciting not to have anyone in diapers anymore!

Mick is happy to be able to ride his tractor again - Daddy fixed it so it goes 4 MPH now (it used to only go 2MPH) and Mick ZOOMS all over the yard! Melissa can drive it pretty good too now, although I try to keep it in the 2MPH position for her - although she loves to go fast!

Here's Mick driving his tractor
Melissa's Turn!
On Thursday night, Daddy surprised us and took us to the 50th State Fair. It was opening night and everything was $1. We had a GREAT time - this was our favorite - the Tilt-a-Whirl. Since it was only $1. we rode it 3 times. All 4 of us were cracking up during the entire ride! Mick & Melissa got to ride the Merry-Go-Round, drive a helicopter, drive a boat, be in a Circus (Melissa got to be a ballerina), and Daddy & Mick went on the Ferris Wheel (Mommy's too scared). It was an awesome night, even if we didn't get home 'til 10! We love your spontaneity, Daddy!



Here's us on the Tilt-A-Whirl

Here's the kids driving the boat

The next morning, bright and early, I took the kids to Sea Life Park. We had a good time but we were tired and happy to come home and take naps!
