A Quick Update...

Since I'm waiting for water to boil so that I can finish my peaches (75 lbs took a while to get ripe, and when they did... they were all ripe at the same time! So far I'm up to 24 quarts, with more left to fill), I thought I'd take a few minutes to update...

Today we're working on toilet training. So far, Margaret has managed to poop cherry pits into one pair of under britches, and wet three other pair. Apparently if you ask a child every 15 minutes if they need to go, the answer will be no. If, however, you wait five minutes, they will have already gone to the bathroom, and need a clean pair of under britches. I am SO not used to doing this - Savannah took care of things all by herself, and I didn't need to worry about the whole, "Do you have to go to the bathroom?" question every 10 minutes...

And that's the news from the house on the hill - where the men are out numbered, the kids are energetic, and the Mom is trying to keep up.

I so feel your pain. Whitney was so bad about that. I'd ask, and literally, as she would say no, she'd pee her pants. OOOHHHH. We had more problems w/#2...but thankfully all is well in that department!
