This past weekend my in-laws had a "women's weekend" where in all 9 adult females of the family spent the weekend together (no boys) at the Nelson's place. It was way fun but I am way exhausted: a joint baby shower for my sister in-law and myself (we are due a week apart), pedicures, going out to eat, shopping, ice-cream shop, going to see Wicked, etc.. It was way fun (most of these things were things I would never spend $ on myself so it was nice to be spoiled). But after 2 nights in a row of only 4 hours sleep I'm so exhausted! Meanwhile, the males of the Nelson family who didn't have kids yet stayed at our house with Steve and Kiera and had some male bonding time (all while watching Kiera). I'm glad that Kiera lived to tell the tale. The broadway production of Wicked was really entertaining-- I recommend it (well, behind Les Miserables of course).

Pedicures look fun! :) You were able to find a place where all of you could go at the same time? Impressive!

Pedicures look really boring! :( They accepted you ALL at once? Impressive!

I haven't ever had a pedicure, and probably never will! Like you, I don't want to pay for it myself, and it doesn't sound that fun!

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
