Adventures in Potty Training

The other day this girl:



Ran out of these:




Which is okay because we found some of these:



And now she's using this:








Mom and Dad feel like this:

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


I also have decided to step up my mommy game. I'm pretty boring when it comes to away-from-home adventures and even the in-home kind. It's time to dial it up a notch. When my first plan for this failed, I quickly pulled out the back-up plan: The Dollar Movies. Lucky for them, Hotel For Dogs was playing. Armed with booster seats and popcorn, we ventured into the theater, unsure of how the next 2 hours would play out. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no fighting, whining, unusually obnoxious behaviors and no potty trips mid-movie. The kids loved the movie, and I loved them not tearing my house apart. All in all, a success.

What other things do people do with there kids? Looking for some new ideas.

Disinterested Politics

For not being overly interested in politics, I sure like a lot of political things. For example:

Music:

U2

Muse

Books:

The Uglies (series-Scott Westerfeld)

The Giver (Lois Lowery)

Movies:

The Bourne Trilogy (ok-really this one needs no explanation)

The Interpreter (finding photos for this post I realized should a movie ever be made of U2, Sean Penn would make an interesting choice for Bono)

Hmmm...Go figure.

Happy Twilighting!!

While most of you are sleeping, I will (along with my BF and other good friends) will be viewing the midnight premiere of TWILIGHT. Sweet dreams, everyone.
