This past weekend Rick and Matthew went on our church's fathers and sons activity. According to Rick everything went quite well. Matthew only asked for "mama" once in the middle of the night.Poor Rick got Matthew after a week of potty training; he and Matthew sat on the side of the road for a half hour because Matthew had to go "poopies." Eventually, Rick just put him in a diaper until they reached their campsite.
Surprisingly, Matthew woke up with a dry diaper, and finally went that morning: which took much persuasion from Rick to go on the rocks, and Matthew did it, and all the boys were so proud and started calling him "Matt."
Chrissie, Jane, and I had "girl time."
We went to dinner and ate outside (per Chrissie's request). Chrissie was so pleased and kept saying, "I just love my family...my family is the best...it's just us girls." We got her a little present. We watched a movie and did some sewing. We were supposed to play tennis Saturday morning, but, our irrigation was to come on earlier than I planned and I had to frantically mow the lawn before the yard was flooded.
I feel bad we didn't do anything really exciting and hope to be more clever next year.

sounds like ya'll had so much fun... girls night together. can't wait. AND what a great dad to have patience with the poops!
So fun! It has just been cold and rainy here. We still don't have our yard in. As far as planning something special for your girl time, just remember that she probably won't remember what you did, just that you were together!
