posting my first post

Someone told me today that they tried to read my blog this week, only to discover that I had never posted, so here it is... My Very First Blog Post!!!! You are all very privaledged to witness this. We'll see how long I can keep this going.

So... What's up with me today? Potty training. Trevor and I are still trying to wrap our brains around the word "panties". I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but neither of us likes to say that word. She will end up wearing "underwear" like the boys, I think, and that OTHER word can be stricken from the dictionary.
We (Harlee, myself and "baby"), spent the whole morning in the bathroom, used up one roll of TP on one little bum that only peed in the potty twice...Do the math. Oh, and we also are potty training "baby". "Baby" must also have it's bum wiped every time it sits on the potty. Which is a lot. And "baby" didn't pee at all. I, however, got to clean up three pee puddles on my hardwood. One caught me unaware as I skidded through it, the other two puddles I managed to find without my socks. All in all it was a great morning. By nap time, I pulled out the diapers and vowed to give it my best tomorrow. Wish me luck.

As for the rest of my life, I am excited to say that I have just booked my campsite online for our anual family river float. We are staying at Writing on Stone provincial park and I am very excited to see what this years trip will bring. Last year we managed to have a canoe tip over with six little ones inside, and we got eaten by horseflies for about two hours. On the brite side, the family mud fight in the middle of the float was very messy and lots of fun. On the homeward stretch, we had four adults, ten kids and a tower of about five or six rafts and floaties and one crazy uncle on top, finish up the last quarter mile singing "we are the champions" at the top of our lungs to cellebrate the end of another great ride. If we didn't have bad memories, we wouldn't have any memories at all!!!

How's that for a first post??? Now to see if anyone even reads it! LOL
