heather, marc, wren & z mroz

Wren enjoyed banging on the metal slide to make some 'music'.

While I was sewing after dinner… marc and wren were laughing histerically running laps in the hallway (I guess it's probably not laps if it's not a circle…).  Marc said it was wren's idea… 'do you want to run with me papa?' and marc asked where and she said 'in the hallway' and as they were running she said, 'this is fun papa – we're running together!'  They were running back and forth for probably 10 minutes.

having fun coloring!  she can sometimes stay in the lines, but not today!

Wren wanted to help papa vacuum and I wasn't surprised when he got her to do it all by herself.  She loved it and begged to do it more… I wonder how long this will last…

Marc and Wren had fun on the shoe slide at the zoo park today… who had more fun?

yeah that is a leaf and a pine cone she is holding.

Wren's been toilet trained during the day for maybe 6 months now?  We decided to try to tackle nap and night training and see how it goes.  The plan is to try for 3 weeks and if she really doesn't respond than we will go back to diapers.  We are basically just waterproofing the bed instead of her and going to wake her up to go before we go to bed.  She has a little toilet in her room which she can use by herself, but I'm not so sure she will in the middle of the night.  I'm excited that I will be done with diaper laundry for at least 3 weeks even if it means more bedding laundry!  (not that I didn't enjoy diaper laundry… I'm just more excited about the newborn diaper laundry than the two diapers a day I had from wren… those are kind of annoying)

We had our first Titus play group of the season today and Wren had fun pushing Olivia around on this tricycle.  They didn't have any major accidents surprisingly!

we are finally getting rid of the nasty carpet upstairs and replacing it with bamboo. we're having them install it in october before sweettart comes.

wren has been having a hard time falling asleep lately. tonight she was playing with her feet on the wall before she fell asleep or as she fell asleep i guess. i wonder if this is comfortable at all.

I went to eco friendly flooring here in madison and they had such a huge nice clean kids play area it was awesome! I almost wished I had to stay longer since wren was having so much fun! (unfortunately you can’t tell from this picture)

Sarah and I got professional pregnancy photos taken today by the crew… I can't wait to see how they turned out!  Ok, so Luke already showed them to us, but we don't have them (and ours didn't turn out as well) so here he is doing his thing.  Then we went to my dad's house and he and wren picked green beans, tomatoes and one cucumber.  Wren actually loved doing it despite the picture of her carrying the bowl full of veggies (maybe she was just starting to realize this was an attempt at cheap child labor?… totally kidding).  It was great to see everyone and definitely worth all the driving and crabby wren for the 3 hour trip home (and I'm not being sarcastic).

If you think this is the most bizarre thing ever written on here please let me know.  Marc's making fun of what I'm writing and maybe I am being kinda weirder than my normal self, but we will blame it on the pregnancy.  (AND he tried to delete these last two sentences!)  "I'm telling you the whole thing is not good – it's bad all around"

Poor marc and his allergies…hopefully this will help him sleep.

Not true. These are only the newborn to 3 months white onesies.

We got our oil changed and a few other minor things done. Wren entertained herself out front with the mulch!

Wren has been obsessed with blankets and pillows lately, so of course she picks out new ones every time we go shopping (not that we ever buy them, but she picks them out).  She found a neck pillow she told me she needed and was excited that she knew how to use it… by putting the strap around her neck.

During marc's goodnight prayer tonight wren crawled up on top of him and laid there with her hands folded like this.
