in other news...

the girls have been going "shopping" in our pantry.
i didn't have a problem with it at first, but after they dented some cans, i had to put the brakes on that one.
one cute story first though. addie got out nine cans, made 3 pyramids of 3 cans each, and said "look! they're cheerleaders!" she loves her cheer-sissy!
(and who knew cans were so fun???)
franks has been waking up early lately. that means one-on-one time with mama.
looooove it!
while addie was at preschool on thursday we did some potty training.
she happily ran to the potty when i asked if she'd like to go.
and yes, it is in the kitchen. i've got to make it as easy as possible!
there we sat, happily chatting and taking pictures for about 20 minutes.
she squeezes her little belly and grunts like she's trying to go.
then she really got down to business and took the jammies off.
she's glowing white because she's right in front of the sliding glass door.
and she's matt's daughter. ;)
i decided to continue the training session after she was done sitting on the potty. i broke out the padded undies and made a big deal about what a big girl she is. she wore those for exactly 2 minutes before she went over to the carpet and peed. 
potty training is awesome.
we had a lovely weekend. i am always so grateful for calm, happy weekends that we get to spend together. on saturday we each ran around a little bit. chris went from his campout to help with an eagle project, home for chores, and then downstairs to play his new video game for the rest of the day. matt went from the eagle project to the church to help "scout for food." lexi came home from robin's at 12 and lounged the rest of the day. that night we went to mccombs for a big and fun potluck.

on sunday after churching it, we ate lunch together, watched a movie together, and chris went to a bishop/youth discussion. 
we didn't do a lot, but we did it together. :)
