The girls have had a blast catching all of the frogs in our back yard here in Manhattan. They have also been taking advantage of all the construction dirt hills around our house, making huge slides out of them. Its been fun to see them have to rely on each other to keep their selves entertained. They are into the Littlest Pet Shop Toys and that motivates them to help around the house so they can earn one. Cade has decided because of all the other crazy things that are going on around him that he should become potty trained; when you are taking your poopy diaper off and and making "pretty" finger paintings of poop on the wall, that is moms way of knowing to potty train the boy or lock him up in a closet :). We are only on day 2 but I think its going to work.

Its good to be home, we are working so hard to get all the stuff done to make it the home we want. Watering a patch of sod, putting up a fence, (we are really excited that our parents are coming tomorrow to help :) ). Unpacking boxes, unpacking boxes, unpacking boxes. Taking the dog out to go to the bathroom on a leash, wiping mud off of her feet. I can't wait until there is nothing to do but laundry, fix the kids breakfast, lunch and dinner, take them to school, play with Cade and all the normal stuff that usually keeps me busy.
