Apparently when we want things to happen, we should blog about them!! We have good news.. With some itty panties and a whole lot of m&ms...

Margaret Anne is potty trained! She has even been at church a few times with out an accident! We are so proud of her, not to mention how helpful it is for mommy and daddy to only have 1 in diapers!

And.... Chloe got her first tooth! Even though we aren't wishing these days away, and we don't want our sweet baby to be growing up so fast, she sure is cute!
Austyn has had an exciting week, too. We went to the store and let her get her Valentine's cards. She has been looking through them ever since they put them out at the grocery, on the "fun isle". We settled in on the princess ones with tatoos. But let me tell you, having your 4 year old writing her name on 20 cards is a serious test of patience for someone who likes things to be done in the right way! On some of the cards, its like a word search to figure out who it is from, with letters all over the oval. The good part, though, is that she is proud of her work. I guess if at 14 we're still writing our name like that, I'll be concerned :)
And, for anyone who remembers the Little Golden Book "Bunny's New Shoes", you'll appreciate this next picture. Austyn asked if she could be spunky and wear 2 different color hair bows to school. What a cutie pie :)
And, this was my project for the week. Finishing my Valentine's wreath. These decomesh wreaths have become my new obsession. I'm pretty sure they could never be TOO poofy or have TOO much stuff stuck on them.

Because we're not willing to give up precious time with our children to do things for ourselves (I'm not saying its wrong if you do, that's just not for us)... We decided to bring the gym home to us!

We're about to start Insanity!! We didn't realize the serious meal plan that goes along with it so we've taken a few days to get our meals in order for this week, but look out Monday! We're hitting the ground running! We have a bet to see who can lose the highest percentage of weight in the next 60 days while we do this, and hopefully we'll be rockin our swimsuits at the pool (or lets be serious, running around our back yard through the sprinklers and princess hopscotch that we have, since our girls can't swim) in just a couple months!

And after all of the craziness that goes on in our house every week, crying, screaming, squealing, laughing, look at those sweet little faces. That is love! That's what we're in this for!
And how did I get this far and not mention it? The girls are all pumped because Yaya and Pop are coming in town tomorrow night for the weekend! Austyn and I are going to do "good teamwork" in the morning and get the sweeping and mopping done so the house will hopefully be nice and clean when they get here! Drive safe yaya and pop!
