I started potty training Dan on Monday.  WOO HOO!   The first three days went okay… a few accidents but a lot of making it to the potty.  The girls have been really fabulous with helping me.  They take him into the bathroom and read a potty book to him while he goes (thanks Jeanine!).

On Monday I took everyone into Borders so we could buy the potty book.  I got lucky – Dan really likes it and we had to read it a zillion times when we got home.  So now the girls read to him in the bathroom.  I’m still using a timer though that goes off ever 30-40 minutes… the times that Dan has to go and the timer doesn’t ring is when we have an accident.  So he’s not good yet at making it to the potty without being prompted….Did I mention that I HATE potty training?

inally getting around to posting photos from CHA.  Jeanine has more on her camera.  I am not a good storyteller so I’ll just post the photos. 

On Saturday, we were able to get together and have lunch Melinda, Robin, Oriana and Connie.  It was so great meeting you all in person!!

Jeanine and I with Connie!  Connie is such a sweetheart!!  Thank you again for lunch!

And last… here is our little helper Dan.  He wanted to cut too while we were putting our display together.  Isn’t he cute?

And lastly, here I am next to our two new products released by CR Gibson.  Woo hoo!

Rick has always thought there was a skunk living in the immediate area because we always have several incidents a summer that smell like it is right outside our bedroom window.  When Jeanine was out visiting me last week, we saw a skunk two doors down walking around the garbage cans that were put out for pickup the next day. Keep in mind that this spotting was at 10:00pm at night when it was dark.

Last night I happened to glance out the front window and there he was.  Right in the center of my front yard – when it was still light outside!  So I grabbed the camera to show Jeanine our friend had returned.  I took about 10 photos but they were all from behind the glass (I was so not opening the door! lol!) These are the clearest I got.. but you can still see him.  UGH!

Anyone know of anything that can make our yard not so interesting to be in for this guy?  Is there even such a thing as a de-skunker or “skunk be gone”?… lol!
