FIRST #1
I've had the little potty sitting in the bathroom for quite awhile. Gracie and Emmett never used the little potty, but Jessie will sit on it (fully dressed) while I'm going to the bathroom...until last Friday when she told Jason she had to go potty, he took her in, sat her down, and she went!! She's been peeing on the potty several times a day since! I'm so excited, but very wary because she isn't even two yet. We may be intensifying the potty training over the weekend and see how it goes...

Last spring, Jason and I bought a two-night hotel stay at an auction. I was so excited - maybe we'd finally get away (even though the hotel is in Great Falls!). Then, I realized that trying to get someone to stay overnight with the kids was going to be almost impossible - family is too far away and can you really ask a friend to do that?
It took eight months, but we did it! Our wonderful neighbors watched the kids for us and we actually got away for an evening and one whole night! It was the first time in almost six years (since Gracie was born) that I have been away from ALL the kids overnight. Jason gets away for work several times a year so he was well prepared for the hours of FREEDOM that were ahead of us! It was fabulous and I truly hope we don't have to wait another six years to do it again! Maybe we'll go for a week next time....! :-)
The second night of our weekend, we took the kids with us. We swam in the pool/hot tub, had a picnic on the hotel floor, watched basketball on the big screen TV in our room, and didn't get a wink of sleep all night (well, I didn't anyway)!! The kids had a great time too. I guess we all needed a break from the "routine".
(We totally forgot the camera, so we don't have any pictures of our weekend away - typical!)

You so deserved a night away! Congrats on getting the time to yourselves.
Oh yeah....congrats on the potty training too! =)
Oh sweet!!!! Adult time is never overrated when you are at home with 3 kiddos and haven't been away with your husband in over 6 years. I bet you were doing cartwheels out the door...HA!
