The Rest of August

Ok, so for the rest of August I just put up the rest in pictures.  Let's see...we did another day trip up to the woods (always fun).  We went up to Bumping Lake to have lunch and again for me to take pictures.  Maddie also got a big girl bed with princess bedding.  We've been potty training and so far so good.  She is constantly waking up dry from naps and in the morning as well!  We've had a few accidents, but those come with the territory.  Now, we just need to get rid of the binky.  But we will work on that another time.  The big girl bed and potty training is enough for now.  Josh had a school bus round-up, which was basically just riding the school bus for the very first time.  Maddie loved riding it too, I think she thought she was going to school as well.  Josh also had an Open house for Kindergarten, so we went and he got to check out his classroom and see other kids in his class.  We also had professional pictures taken of the kids, which I will put in a different post.  And then it was my birthday at the end of August.  I got to go to lunch with another mom I know with the same birthday as me.  So we went to Red Robin and ate some yummy food.  I also got to sleep in, got a photography book, some new shoes, and we went out to dinner.  Didn't exactly know how that was going to go since we don't go out as a family.  But I think we're turning a corner.  The kids did great (wasn't really worried about Josh as much as I was Maddie) and I didn't have to cook! Woot Woot!
