Five on Friday


 


Happy Friday!
Today I'm linking up with Christina, April and Natasha for Five on Friday!


One
We started working on Potty Training Avery this past Saturday. We've been letting her go with nothing on the bottom half when she's at home and she's been doing GREAT! She only has had 1 accident when we first started and she even goes #2 on the potty. The only problem is, as soon as she has a diaper or pull-up on, she goes right back to going in them and doesn't say a word if she needs to go. So we still have some work to do, but she's been doing great when she's been home all this week. Yay Avery!

On September 11th, I took the kids to see the Flags of Valor display at Art Hill in Forest Park. It was spectacular and so very moving. They had placed 7,021 Flags on the hill to honor each of the fallen soldiers killed in the war on terror since 9/11. Each flag had a picture of a fallen soldier and a dog tag to represent them. It was quite the sight to see and I'm so very glad I was able to get down there to visit the stunning display. 




Three
This past Saturday, we had a lot of activity at our hummingbird feeder and I was able to capture it with my camera. This particular feeder is right outside our kitchen, attached to the hand-rail of our deck. You can see them right out the kitchen window and door. So I noticed them fluttering around and decided to grab my camera. Thankfully I did because we ended up seeing 3 hummingbirds at once at the feeder which we had never seen before. Two at the most was all we had seen at one time! I also captured our chunky little hummingbird that sits and guards the feeder throughout the day. He cracks me up with how chunky he is. Ha.



Four
We leave for Disney World a week from today and to say we're all excited would be quite the understatement! I can hardly contain my excitement. After scouring Pinterest for any and all Disney ideas for the kids, I came up with this fun little countdown idea for them and made my own.

They are having a lot of fun with it.


Five
Since starting school, Avery has become quite the little singer. She's come home singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and her ABC's. She does such a great job and it's just so cute, I have to share!





I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!
I'll be a single parent this weekend. Jake is on a golf trip and my parents are going out of town as well so it's just me and the kiddos. I have some fun things planned for us so it should be a good weekend!

That's great on Avery. I am sure you are doing it, but does she get candy after she goes? I swear that's the reason Littlest Miss ditched the diaper...yesterday was the first time she actually earned candy as I kept forgetting to buy it until this weekend and now there's a dedicated jar!
