Our Lil' Lovebug: Wind, Wind Go Away…Come Again Another Day

Well, it was a weekend in at the Cunningham Household. It was so windy out all weekend. I think the wind gusts were up to about 50 MPH. Poor Matt had to be out in it to do Color Guard for some incoming soldiers returning from overseas. See needless to say we stayed in to help with allergies and all the good fun stuff (actually icky stuff) in the air. We just played and watched movies. I also re-arranged the play room. It was in desperate need of organizing. Now Gracie has a little more play area, the dogs have a bit more kennel room, and it looks better. I love seeing an idea pan out!

We did have a big milestone this weekend. GRACIE POOPED IN THE POTTY! I was so proud of her. She has been doing great with potty training. We only wear a diaper when we go to bed and we are only have one or two accidents a day. Quite honestly, you can’t call them accidents…she gets so excited when pees in the potty that she doesn’t finish which leads to “Mommy, I’m wet!” Either way she has pretty much potty trained quickly and we can’t complain. Although there was a great deal on diapers today at Target, but I couldn’t bring myself to get them considering I think our days of big boxes of diapers are over. I am excited we are going to get to take a completely potty trained little girl to Jamaica.

Speaking of Jamaica, it is official. We are all three going to Jamaica in May. Matt’s cousin is getting married there and he is the best man. Considering it is not a cheap vacation we were debating if it was feasible for all of us to go. Especially considering plane tickets are not cheap no matter where or when you are flying. Well, we got a great deal on the tickets! The only catch was we couldn’t find out what airline we were flying or when our flight times would be until we booked the ticket. Well, I took a huge leap of faith to save $200 and lucked out! We are getting into Jamaica when I wanted to. The only catch is we are flying an airline that has a 50% history with us loosing our bags and we fly west to Phoenix before flying east to Montego Bay. Which means a 5 hour flight with a 2 1/2 year old. (Please start saying your prayers for us now…I am betting on me loosing my sanity about 3 hours in). Either way we are excited. We are getting our passports this week and that will be the last thing that needs to be taken care of as far as the planning goes! How exciting…this is the first time we have flown somewhere or taken a vacation just the three of us. Granted we will have family there, we are looking forward to spending some well deserved time on the beach!

Well, I have rambled on long enough for tonight and I have to hit the sack. I love Sundays because they are usually quiet in our house, but Monday is always looming behind…man how I hate Mondays. Well, hopefully this week goes by fast so we can have another weekend!
