Zachary had Rover watch last night at the academy so he spent the night there and then had a breakfast this morning so Daps, Grandma and I took the kids to Kinder Farm Park. It was so nice outside and the kids had so much fun!
After the park, we grabbed chickfila to take home and met Zachary there for lunch before Grandma and Daps had to leave. And while they were heading south, Alexandra was heading north! We are going to the Cowboys v. Redskins game tomorrow. A little under seven years ago, Alexandra and I went to a tattoo parlor and she got her first tattoo and I got my cartilage pierced. So now that she wants her second tattoo, she's decided to do it up here so I can be with her for the second one too! The same guy who did my XIII a couple months ago, did her new sun.
Today was such an exciting day for several reasons. The first is that Malia let me put her hair in a ponytail. That was very exciting for me.
Next- Malia used the potty! I'm going to try to cause as little embarrassment for the future with my choice of words but this is a big deal so I need to document it! Malia was struggling a bit in her high chair so I thought it would be a good opportunity to sit her on the potty (that her brother refuses to use) and sure enough it worked- first time and she did both!
Zachary got this cute little dress for her the other day from the Midshipmen Store but since it's still freezing outside, I put her in this ensemble- isn't she adorable??
Zachary took the kids to Smithfield this afternoon too. He has a cycling meet this weekend that he's going to and so he thought it'd be a good chance for me to get some alone time since I don't get a lot of that. I was feeling a bit lonely after they left and my brother called and asked if he and Grace could come up. It was perfect! Now I don't have to be alone but I also don't have to clean up after anyone or change any diapers and I get to watch something besides Bubble Guppies and Caillou. But here's a cute picture of the kids with Grandma and Pops:
