Screen free/Vacation

B and I were off all last week and man, were we lucky with the gorgeous weather! Last week was also "Screen Free Week."  Peyton's class pledged to be completely screen free (no TV, video games, phones, computers...anything with a screen!).  Having nice weather helped, but Peyton did a great job and he was very strict about it.  No DS, TV, movies, or iPhones for him and he didn't seem to miss it that much.  He had to keep a log in his school notebook of what activities he did throughout the week.  It was nice actually to have the TV off.  We spent a lot of time at parks, luckily he had a ton of t-ball practice/games, they spent a lot of time playing in the little pool at Grammy/Papa's and we read a ton of books.  He is doing so well reading, we are very proud of him!
And some big news for our little girl...Olivia is potty trained!  I wanted to dive into potty training while I was home for the week and it literally took a day!  She's been diaper-free for over a week now, no accidents, and only wearing one at night (she's dry at night too but I figure a diaper is easier to clean than changing sheets).  I'll probably have her wear diapers at night for a while now until I'm sure she can stay dry and we also need to convert her crib to the toddler bed.  After potty training a boy, this seemed so easy.  Girls are just so different!  We really had a great week off...more on our anniversary and beach trip in a different post! 

Feeding the ducks





We finally got our garden boxes all set up in the back yard and I'm so excited!!!!!!



Can we just stop and take in Olivia's hair?  What a ragamuffin.




Practicing hitting....his team is now hitting with no tee in their games.


This girl is a little dare devil.  She's getting more brave on the play structures...making me a nervous wreck.
