Homebound and going crazy...

As some of you may know, we don't really have a reliable vehicle right now, so for the last 2 weeks the kids and I have been out of the house exactly twice. This is causing us to go a little stir-crazy. After searching online, I found some crafts to do. One of the most popular was the castles made out of toilet paper tubes and cereal boxes.

They surprisingly lasted about 2 1/2 days before getting torn apart/eaten by the dog. (That's about 2 1/4 days longer than I expected!)

Other excitement in our house...Bella has started to potty-train! We've been trying on and off with her for a while now, but she's never really shown an interest until now. After she uses the potty chair and we let her put "big girl undies" on, she gallops all over the house singing "the undie-wear song". She's just tickled pink to be wearing underwear. It also helps that when she does go, she gets a pink marshmallow. That's my pink girl!
