It's time, we must cut our diaper budget in half. I'm on a mission to potty train McKenzie, who understands the concept and can even tell me when she needs to go and will go on the potty, but it's only when she feels like it. To encourage her progress, I bought her some Cinderella panties today. (She is in love with "Rella.") She was so excited to get the panties, but instead of heading to the bathroom to put them on, she put one pair on her head and then discovered that they made great bracelets and wore the other two pair on her arms. It was a little discouraging, but eventually, I hope to win. We need to cut the budget because Ellee is having to be on an expensive formula for a few more weeks - it is costing us $400 a month! My entire grocery bill for the other four of us is near that!
Phil is out of town, so I'm hoping that we don't have any repeat nights from last week - see last blog entry. If we do, Wiener may be finding a new home!
Have a good week!

Can't believe you actually said that last line! Mom will be proud :)
I hope that "Rella" does the trick.
By the way, love those "southern" camo outfits!

Camo and Cinderella panties...there's a combo I haven't seen before!
By the way, my money's on you as the eventual winner of the potty wars, but not without a few bloody skirmishes...
