The Condra's: Fireworks and Fun

We had a great 4th!!!! It was very busy but the kids had a great time and so did we. It all started at the zoo....Our zoo has little games and activities!! The kids made bracelets, had their face painted, watched daddy dunk a football player in the dunk tank, and did an obstacle cores!! Also got to see the animals and for a treat got a Popsicle. It was all too much fun. Then after naps we went to Tryon's Aunts house to see some of the family and let the kids play with all the cats in the back yard. But poor Keyton scared me to death at her house. He was chasing a cat when he tripped and hit his head on a rock gashing it open and then the cat attacked his little head. When Tryon pick him up his face had blood running down it and I was so scared it was bad. We cleaned him up and he had the gash and a skin mark on the right side of his forehead, a claw mark on the left side and about 4 or 5 more claw marks on the back of his head. He was fine just looked really bad but thank God it was not deep enough for stitches!! So he looked great with blood on his shirt for the rest of the night. Well we then went to another Aunts house to watch the fire works but they never happened:( because of the wind. We then went out to the fireworks stand and had a blast shooting off fireworks with the kids. They loved it and it was Keyton's first time!!! They got to do sparkler and with help hold a small roman candle with us and loved that so much. They watched a few fountains, large shot (like the big ones), and missals plus all the other stuff the few other groups where shooting. It was great. An older man loved watching Paisley clap after all the really big ones and loved that we were teaching them about fireworks so young. We got home tired but had a great time even if the main fireworks were canceled.

Now for a funny story...Potty time

Paisley is so not into the potty right now and we tried one day to do it....
First time she went on her own I was so excited and she wanted to wear big girl undies so she did...I told her not to potty to let me know.

5mins later she peed on the floor....

At lunch time I asked her to potty with me then we could eat..."No mommy I don't need to"...

Get back from the restroom she potted!!

Go to the mall the last pair of undies and shorts left with us....

She poops!!!!!!! I am so mad by now..

Go to the restroom to clean up and she flushed her undies DOWN the potty!!!!!

I ask why she did that and she told me "they are gross mommy they needed to be clean" while she is crying because they are gone!!!

We did not push it the rest of the day!!!!

The kids are doing great and starting to learn to share more!!!!! YES!! They have a little ride on car and Paisley has been pushing Keyton around the house on it all the time. It is so cute and I am so glad there is no angry screaming with it!!!

Keyton is finally coming out of his shell and talking and trying new words... His new love is the word "bath" he loves to say it all the time. He is also trying to say long sentences like "what are you doing?" not very clear but you can tell that is what he is trying to say!! love it. Also Paisley is trying to help him learn new words it is so great and cute!!

Nothing to new with Paisley but she now wants to wear her hair like mine (curly) so last night she slept in sponge rollers and looked so cute for church today. I was surprised that she kept them in all night. I just don't know if she will want the trouble all the time.
