summer vacation officially began right about at 8 a.m. on thursday the 18th (that's when the 3 girls woke up). in great anticipation the big girl panties were slapped on the baby. it went fairly well the first day (one big pee on the tile and poop in the panties). we even went out to the park and to run some errands with no event. the next day, after blasting through every single pair of panties we had, all hope was lost, and the diapers were back on. maybe in july...
yeah, we're right there with you amalea: summer vacation is the bomb! (isabel got to strike a pose in the granny-esque panties with big sister right there providing some pep to cheer her on in her newest endeavor.)
and summer weather came as well. humidity. sun. we were out in the yard in the kiddie pool. the tornado siren went off the next day with a touchdown in a field in neighboring lake in the hills. since we're off on asides, here's just about one of the coolest things isabel has ever said... the whole family was bouncing around on the bed yesterday morning. isabel was doing "snuggles" with daddy (yep, snuggling). amalea came charging around the foot of the bed. isabel shrieked out in defense of her situation, "leave him alone, he's my dadda!" (although her enunciation was impeccable, amalea still continued to assail.)
