10 pictures on the 10th day of the month!

Today's 10 on 10 is brought to you by Spring Break & Potty Training :)
I woke up and had a few minutes to drink my coffee in peace before Luke woke up:
When Kate woke up, she wanted to play her Rush Hour game {HERE} She got it for her birthday, it's a fun logic/puzzle game.

 I was so excited that today was Friday, Luke was doing awesome at potty training & was finally clicking for him. I hadn't left my house since Tuesday and I was going to surprise the kids and take them to donuts in their pj's! I was getting cabin fever and just had to get out of the house!
I went to load the kids up in my car, but all my doors were locked! And, my keys were in the car (and Kevin had the spare) Earlier, Claire had gone to get something in my car and she hit the lock as she was getting out of my car. Ugh! I called AAA to have them come and unlock my car...in my garage.

Yay! I am finally out of the house & we made it to donuts in our pajamas!

We got our donuts and also got some to bring to my sister since she is potty training Jack also.

We got home and it was time to watch Elmo Potty Time with Luke before his nap.

Then the girls wanted to chalk...is there anything better than a fresh box of chalk? So pretty!

While the girls were chalking and Luke was napping, I made my lunch (2 fried eggs, 1/2 avacado and lots of Chalula sauce!) and then sat by the pool to read. I finished this book, SO good! It was nice to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather since I have been trapped in my house all week.

Then the girls wanted to ride bikes on the court with our neighbor Olivia

 While the girls were riding bikes, some more neighbors came outside to hang out & so we all brought out some appetizers & had moscow mules while the kids rode bikes & played.

 I love our court, especially on Friday evenings!

Friday Night means Pizza Night! Pizza with a glass of chardonnay (My friend/co-worker Sandi dropped off this bottle of wine for me since she knew I was in potty training hell with Luke. Thank you Sandi!)

 So, that was our 10th of April. A glimpse into how not-so glamorous my Spring Break was.
I didn't leave my house for 3 days, didn't shower for 2 days, I lost count of how many times I cleaned up pee & poo off the floor, the girls declared it the worst Spring Break EVER & I was so exhausted I could cry. The 3 day potty training method took Luke about 5 days, but it's all good because NO MORE DIAPERS....EVER!!!
I took notes on how each day of potty training went, and I will blog about it because it might be helpful if you need to potty train one of your kids! I'm so glad I never have to potty train again!
