4-H

This was our first year having a child in 4-H, and it was quite a learning experience for Abby and I! She did three different classes. She sewed pajama pants in her Sewing class. Painted, drew, and sculpted clay in her Art class. She learned how to shoot at all kinds of targets with a BB gun in her shooting class and even got a second place in their shoot out contest. So she was awarded a red ribbon for that. I think she has had a lot of fun. I'm afraid she will have to cut back on the classes next year though because Dylan will also be old enough next year and I won't be able to keep up with too many classes! We'll see if I can talk them both into doing the same classes! ;)

Potty Training...

So we have been trying to potty train our little Addalyn (her choice) I didn't think we were quite ready but she thinks she is so its lots of wet undies and thank heavens not so many dirty messes but the other day I had given her a frozen yogurt for breakfast and left the room and came back to check on the all too quiet one (expecting a HUGE mess) and when I finally found her this is what I found...
I just had to laugh and grab the camera!

So through this process I'll have to remind myself potty training isn't always bad, sometimes its good for a great laugh!
