Kiddos!

Well yesterday I went to the zoo for Colton's field trip. It was so much fun! At the very last minute, Seth decided he was able to go! He works so much that it is hardly ever an option. Over all the first part of the zoo trip was over crowded. There were so many schools there. After lunch, all the schools went home and we actually had a good time. We got to see the lions stalk a bird, pounce on it, and swallow it whole! That was very entertaining! After the zoo, we did a little shopping. I found some great clearance items for the kids. We then went to pick up the little princess from daycare. We bought her a hat at the zoo. I took it into her and she thought she was the coolest. We came home briefly to change clothes. The Dallas Stars played last night, and lost they! We do not have cable, so we grabbed some dinner and went to Seth's parent's house to watch the game.

Tanner is potty training and it was our first true lengthy outing in panties. She has not had an accident in days so I was feeling brave. She announced in the middle of dinner "I potty!" I scooped her up and headed to the bathroom. I had this great fear that she would just let go on the way and pee everywhere. We made it to the stall and I sat her on the potty. It was one of those self flushing toilets. Tanner is so small that when she moved a little, the toilet flushed. She about jumped over the stall door with fright! At that point I tried to get her to sit down and go and she was not having it! As I was using the restroom, she noticed someone else in the stall next door. She was baffled that she could see feet. She kept saying, "feet mommy, feet mommy". I don't think she realized that there were more than feet next to us.

We went back to the table and started eating dinner when the dreadful "I potty!" came again! This time Tanner did pee everywhere. I was discretely trying to clean her up in the booth. She just keep screaming, "I potty, need diaper, I potty, need diaper, yucky!" At that point we cut dinner short and headed for the truck! I was changing Tanner in the back of the Tahoe when the motorcycle parked behind us started. It scared the living daylights out of me! I threw Tanner forward and almost jumped in the truck with her. Seth laughed so hard, he almost peed himself! What a life and a day in the Sorenson household!!

Blogging

Here goes nothing. I really don't know what I am doing; however, my best friend Allison suggested I start this. It could be fun! The true challenge will be to try to find time to do this. I recently started a myspace. Sometimes, I wonder am I too old for a myspace. Blogging might be a better option for me. My challenge will also be to keep it short and sweet. I have a tendency to be a chatter box! Those who know me will agree. I talk really fast just so I can get everything said I want to and then some. I included (at least I think I did!) a picture of my son Colton! He is such a ham. He had a great accomplishment tonight. Most might not think of it as an accomplishment on several accounts; however, in our world it is! I told Colton he was in trouble for yet again destroying my Clinic powder. It never fails, the boy zones in on the new stuff! I asked him, "do you know why you are in trouble?" and he said "WHY?" Colton never communicates in a conversation structure. As soon as he asked why, I totally forgot he was getting reprimanded and started celebrating! Wow, the simple things that deserve acknowledgment! As soon as Seth and I started celebrating, Tanner chimed in shouting "why" "why" "why"! She is quite the mimicker! Colton and Tanner actually liked each other tonight! It was a great evening. I am so tired though. My insomniac children have it in for me. On that note, I think I will go to bed. Maybe tomorrow, I will have more to say and spice up my layout some!
