Hump Day Update

This update consists of SJ Giants game, sleeping, Minions, and the much dreaded potty training (part 2). The entire family took a super long nap on Sunday to recuperate after a crazy Saturday. I had to pop out of bed when I saw that it was already 5:30! I jumped up and started on dinner right away so the kids would not complain about a snack. Thank goodness for Gobble and their ten minute dinners! Whew!

After recuperating on Sunday, we went to a SJ Giants game on Monday night (free). We lasted I think three innings before the kids called it quits. Was it worth it? Yup.

I already said this, but the kids are having a blast sharing a room. The only downside is that they're playing and talking in their room and it just takes them forever to fall asleep. With Charlotte's growing vocabulary, being in the same room has it's benefits, too. It's so cute listening to their conversation or hearing Lucas "read" a short story to Char. They also have a tendency to fall asleep together in the same bed.

On Tuesday night, we had a special Apple screening of Minions in 3-D. We only lasted an hour into the movie before Lucas got scared. The experience was pretty fun, and it was pretty also watching this before the rest of the world. The movie was shown at Vallco (surprise surprise) and I have to say that that was the saddest mall I've ever been to. The food court was just... depressing... and gross. Never again.

Now, the much dreaded summer task has arrived. I've been delaying potty training Char just because... well, it's just not that fun. I finally decided to do the much dreaded deed. So far, it hasn't been that bad. I remember Lucas being far worse last year. Hopefully she'll get it down pretty quickly.

Last but not least, my humble little garden. I wanted to give gardening a test trial this Spring. Lo and behold, things are not dying in this drought (thanks to our shower water). I should really find a way to pretty this up one day.

Isn't all this green beautiful?
