The Short Story
- # of "wet" underwear: COUNTLESS
- rooms smelling of urine: 3
- new pairs of shoes for Charlotte: 2 (cutiest EVER)
- baseball bats for Cal: 4 apparently you can never have enough
- on the hunt for: "Cars" Lizzie (the old lady), Frank (the Combine), and Red (the Fire Truck)
- # of nights Cal has gotten into Charlotte's bed: it would be easier to say how many he hasn't (2 that I can recall since we took down side rails)
- # of Cheeto's lovers: 3 (Wes eats them but apparently does NOT love them)
- dr. visits: 1 (foreign object in mama's foot) VERY scary to hold 2 2-yr-old kids on your lap when a dr. is using a scalpel on your body! :)

chicken nuggets and cheetos
My Monday went a little something like this:
- I did not shut off my alarm this morning and reset it for 1/2 hour later...no NOT me!
- I most certainly did not load up on caffeine to make extra certain I would be a productive employee on this rainy Monday morning...definitely not me!
- There is no way I was the one shamelessly posting our photographers blog all over facebook...I'm 100% confident that was not me! (in case you're interested: http://creativeimagesandco.com/blog/?p=320 )
- And, you can be certain, I did not look up the previously mentioned website while on company time. NOPE that was not me.
- I did not bring home chicken nuggets and baked cheetos for dinner, because that would be VERY unhealthy; I am confident that was NOT me!
- Also, can I just say that I did not indulge in Cookie Crisp for dinner for myself...that would be absurd, and that's why I know that was NOT me either.
- I can tell you honestly right now that I am not going to go upstairs and take a picture of my sweet twins while they are sleeping in the same bed because it is RUDE to use flash photography on precious snoring toddlers. I would NEVER do that...for sure, not me.
- And one more thing...I am not waiting for Saturday to buy a Father's Day gift, because I am a woman and we are prepared! Procrastinate....ha...not me.

potty training squared
Memorial Day Weekend 2010 = Parker Potty Training Bootcamp
I was sucked in by 1 Lora Jensen: "Potty Train in only 3 days" she said....This lying snot woman clearly has not met children with the will power of my twins. We began the big ordeal event Saturday morning with hopes of being fully trained by Monday evening. Wes and I were totally on-board, we CAN do this. We read every line of the e-book Friday evening, we were armed with 30 pairs of underwear for each kid with super fun characters, bright colors, and even boxer briefs for Cal just like daddy's. We were loaded up with rewards from stickers to "memmys" (Charlotte's sweet word for m&ms). I had curly ribbons on the m&m jar, fun froggy soap, and Nemo and "Ween" big kid wipes! nothing. nothing. nothing. Nothing that is except for 60 pairs of wet underwear, floors, and dad's recliner to scrub.
By Monday, everyone was exhausted; poor little Charli was sobbing she was so tired. I can say that they Charlotte has learned to "hold" it for hours. We have toned down our crazy idea of training for nap and bedtime all at once, and have succumbed to the evil empire of pull-ups. I can't bear to put them back in diapers after so much work.
Today, "happy Tuesday" as it will forever remain in my mind, was quite a different story. After getting the kids out of bed, and getting Charlotte dressed for the day (in big girl pants) she came running to me "wet...wet...mommy" I found that she had wet her pants again. I sat her down on her little pink potty chair in the kitchen, and while I was getting clean pants for her...I heard the sweetest sound of the weekend "WOAH!" My big girl finally figured out what we were trying to get her to do all weekend, and was she ever PROUD! High Fives all around, she even shared her "memmy's" with her little brother. (enough to bring tears to my eyes).
With all the quality time / constant supervision, I was able to take some pretty cute pictures of the 2 cutest butts the world has EVER seen!
