Today was cold here in Spokane, 81 degrees, coldest day we've had since arrival. But we still swam in the pool anyway. Still getting used to the thunder and lighting storms they have around here. Last night extreme weather alerts flashed on the TV every other minute, 60 mile an hour winds, hail, and severe thunder and lighting heading our way, get in doors and take cover! It was like being in a mini tornado or something, love it. We took our lovely, sweet daughter for a back to school hair cut this weekend and she screamed and cried (and acted like a toddler) through the whole thing. Makes me nervous about kindergarten.... although everyday she talks about and says she can't wait to go. Ben is not quite getting this going on the potty thing, but he is loving running around nudie and talking about going potty. Mostly just saying poop and pee every other word. I learned the hard way that generic stool softener from Wal-Mart is NOT the same as miralax. I was in so much pain I was starting to think I needed a colon transplant. Consider yourself warned! We baked cookies today, then while we were at the pool the darn dog ate half. Between that and barking at everything she is on our list. We are ready to be reunited with our stuff! Heading back to the west side soon to pack and officially move.
