Our friend Denise offered to watch the Cupcakes tonight so that DH and I could have an evening off. (Yay, Denise!!!) The girls love, love, LOVE Denise. She’s known around our house as Auntie ‘Niece. This is what’s known as a win-win situation. The Cupcakes got an evening with Auntie ‘Niece. DH and I got an evening with each other.

DH and I had a terrific dinner at a new restaurant here in town. Denise got to experience some of the joys of parenthood that she, as a child-free adult, would ordinarily not be exposed to. Did I mention that our house is still the Land of Potty Training… ?

Once again one of my beloved children chose to do something for the first time while I was not around. I’ll spare you all the details, suffice it to say that DH and I came home to one twin who now chooses to put more than just her pee-pee in the potty, a stopped up downstairs toilet and an Auntie muttering something about ‘it’ being ‘the size of a potato, I swear.’

Let’s hope that our plumbing is up to the challenge of potty training the second one, shall we?
