Take that to your quinoa party

We are back at Grandma’s deeeluxe spread for a quick visit before school starts. My recently engaged sister is here too, so we’re having fun paging through bridal magazines (thanks, Kara!), making fun of the ugly dresses and admiring the pretty ones. It’s way too cold for the pool but we’re swimming anyway. My brother and sister-in-law are also here (hence the title. This is the way he talks to me). They just trounced me at Scrabble.

My sister-in-law illustrated two books for Scholastic. If you’ll be potty-training in January 2010, you won’t find any cuter books than these (I have seen the insides and they are just as adorable).

So darn cute! I may have to get one to save for next year (or the year after, we’ll see how that goes).

Oh! Those are adorable. I won’t kid myself that I’ll be potty training Ollie by January, but I’ll keep that book on my list for when the time comes!

Man, I love weddings. Congrats to your sister! Here’s to hours of fun planning, with a minimum of the wedding crazies.

Are you guys going to shop for the dress together?
I’m getting teary-eyed just thinking of it…

As things are going potty wise, we’ll still be in the market for a good potty book then. Grrr.
