Garage sale great finds!




Ellie got a couple of great things this past weekend at garage sales. Got to love this! My friend Heather found this Little Tikes playhouse for $20 for us and we got Ellie her first bike from Peyton...thanks Peyton!
In other news...we stopped using diapers except for naps and overnight. Today was day 2 and Ellie is doing great. We went to out for 2 hours yesterday...no accidents. Went to Lenawee's Child and then to the park. One accident. What a big girl. We are looking forward to a long weekend at the lake. Hope the weather holds up nice!

Big Girl!

2 nights and 2 naps later, Ellie is loving her new big bed. She doesn't fight going down and sleeps great. I still check on her more often. Since I have pregnancy blaldder and get up 1-2 times during the night, I have been checking on her. All is good. She doesn't even get out when she wakes up, she just calls for us. She is doing great, what a big girl! Time to make her new room in to a little girl's room and not just a room with a bed!

Little girl, big bed!

Ellie asked to sleep in her new bed last night. Her room is not put together by any means, but there is a bed. So, we thought we'd see how it would go! She did great! Slept all night! Glad we have the guard rail though, at one point when I went in there to check on her (which I did quite a few times I will say), her head was pushed up against the mesh! She is growing up! We are potty training right now too! And she is doing great with that too! What a big girl!

A new post, finally!

I'm not sure how much longer I will be posting. I just can't seem to keep up with it. I haven't downloaded pictures for 3 weeks, so no new ones tonight either.

Last week was really busy. We had a MOMS Club activity everyday, except Wednesday, which was Park Day bt gor rained out. One of these days the weather will cooperate for a Park Day. Friday we went to the petting zoo. Ellie is still talking about it. She LOVED feeding the goats. She was so tired from running around I thought for sure she would pass out for a good long nap. No such luck, b ut she slept good that night. It was good that she did because Saturday she went with Dad, Grandma and Puck to the lake. That's right, mom got the day to her self. I have to admit I was a little sad at first...ok, I cried...but that is definately the hormones taking over! It was really weird having such a quiet house. After working in the yard and cleaning out the garage I spent the afternoon and evening with Heidi shopping and eating in Ann Arbor. Now that is what I call a nice day. No stops at the play place, no diapers to change and no crayons and squirmmy kids at supper. I did miss my family though.

Today Jeff and Ellie took Grandma and I to brunch at the Henry Ford Museum. What a treat!! Ellie was such a little lady and loved all the food to choose from. After that we walked around Greenfield Village. It was a really great Mothers Day! I am lucky to have such a wonderful family. Hope all of you had a great day too!
