I don't get it!

My mom and I were comparing the Twilight book and movie today, discussing what we liked and didn't like about the movie, when Andrew walked in.

Andrew: "Are you you guys STILL talking about Twilight?! I've seen like a thousand commercials and it doesn't look interesting AT ALL!"

Splish Splash

Don't you like fun?!!

Logan: "Mom? You wanna play with me?"

Summer: "Sure. What should we play?"

Logan: "How 'bout LegoAna Jones (Lego Indiana Jones) on the Wii?"

Summer: "How 'bout something else? I don't really want to play Wii right now."

Logan: "But MOM, it's FUN!
DON'T YOU LIKE FUN?!!"

My Silly Logan

Logan: "Hey Mom, come take a look at DARTH SILLY!"

P.S. YES, those are UNDERWEAR he's wearing! Day THREE of no accidents! Yay Logan!

Just a Little POTTY Update...

I know you're all DYING to know how things are going on the potty front! Well, there has been a lot less fighting about sitting on the potty and a lot more stickers on his potty chart. On occasion, he has even been going without us asking him to! I think he only had one accident today (and we were outside playing, so I'm not really going to count that). And the most exciting news of all - yesterday...drumroll, please...WE GOT SOME POOPY IN THE POTTY! Woo-Hoo!

The things you get excited about as a parent!
