I AM IN HEAVEN!
I have just discovered a wonderful replacement for potato, which I thought there was none. It's called Yucca (pronounced yuck-a) and it is FABULOUS!
It has been 9 years since I have had a significant amount of french fries. I have not had a baked potato or mashed potatoes at all for those 9 years. Last night I had fried Yucca fries and they were DELICIOUS!!!! They sooooo tasted like real french fries that even our 7 year old loved them.
Today I plan to boil and mash the Yucca root to make mashed Yucca root......I can't wait!!!!!
I am so excited about all the new possiblities this new food holds for me that I can't even put it into words, so I guess I will end this post now and go cook!!!!! Yummmmmm!

It Was A "No Accident" Potty Day Today!
Yeah Sarah! She made leaps and bounds today training today. Sarah was in "Big Girl" panties from about noon, all the way to 8:30 p.m. We even picked up Katelynn and the grocery store with no problem.
While I am bragging about Sarah, I should mention how well she is doing with working on her letter recognition and sounds! I have just started working with her as of 2 days ago and she has went from recognizing 4 letters (K, S, A and O) to recognizing about 10 new letters, not including the original 4! Not bad for a 3 year old.
With the light visible at the end of the "potty" tunnel, my heart leaps with bounds full of excitement........NO MORE PULL UP! No more changings, but then again...........we are entering the "Find the potty quick" tunnel as little Sarah grows and starts wearing her Big Girl panties out more often.
Looks like I won't be going to the malls anytime soon.......oh well, don't like the large malls anyway!

Narnia Party!
Our girls, hubby and I went to a wonderful birthday party for a 4 year old yesterday.......it was a Narnia party. The party mom had really fun and easy crafts. She had pre-cut several crown's from white card stock using decorative scissors and punched holes in the ends for tying ribbon and using that to tie the crowns on the kids heads.
Next she had all kinds of decorations for the kids to use to decorate their crowns and make them their own, and they had a blast doing so. Their were jewels, glitter glue, crayons and the word Queen or King typed out that you could glue on.
There was also swords the kids could decorate and then use to sword fight. Don't worry, they were only newspaper wrapped up and tapped so it was totally harmless and tons of fun.
After eating, the kids played "Pin the Crown on Prince Caspian" or whatever prince they hit and pass the treasure (present) to music from favorite kids show.
I must say, I was very impressed. I am known for throwing some pretty nice themed parties and "going over the top" as some of my friends say but this party was awesome. I particularly loved the sword idea and may have to use that as my craft in my next eZine (my electronic newsletter that comes out monthly. Email me and I can send you 1 copy so see if you like it, then you are free to sign up for it.)
It was also nice for me to sit back, eat and talk with other parents and not run the show.....that is always fun!

Sarah Is Growing Up FAST!
No matter how I try, I cannot figure out a way to slow Sarah down from growing up! And believe me, I have tried, or at least given it some good thought! But darn that little sweet 3 year old is achieving new things every day. She has master the pee-pee part of potty training and working on the second one. She can do it if she is in the mood, if not, in her pants she goes, UGH! She gets great joy from putting on her own socks and almost as much joy from putting on her own pull-ups and pants. She LOVES painting and crafting with glue........truly my daughter!
We put shelves in her room, organized her toys and cleaned up her bedroom. She loved it and said it was "bootiful" (beautiful)!
I love how excited she gets about regular things.
Next it's off to Katelynn's room!

CONGRATS KATIEBUG!
The principal at our daughter's school started a new thing for her school, Student Of The Week. She purchased trophies for each class and presents a student each Friday with the trophy. The teachers choose who will get it for that week and this was the first week and guess who got it.......that's right, my Katiebug! She feels pretty special since she is the first kid in her class. As soon as I get it out of my camera, I will add the picture of my Katiebug and her trophy. The student doesn't get to keep it but they get to display it for a whole week on their desk, then pass it to the next studen. The principal will actually come around each Friday and announce the Student of The Week for that week. Pretty impresive considering how much this wonderful principal has to do! She is one busy lady!
CONGRATS MY WONDERFUL KATIEBUG!
