A night out and some potty news!

I mentioned my upcoming b-day last week (ewwww!) but I need to mention the night out that Brandon (Nate's brother) and Nate planned for us. Brandon's fiance, Deanna's birthday is the day before mine so we girls thought it would be fun to double date for our b-days. We didn't have anything too extravagant in mind but the guys must have because they treated us to a really fun night out. First we went to a fondue restaurant called The Melting Pot. If you ever have the chance to go, I would highly recommend it. Excellent food and lots of it, but it was much a pricier place than we usually go to. Yum!! Then, they took us downtown Chicago to a comedy club called Zanies which was really fun and the comic was way funny! Great planning Brandon and Nate and thanks for a really fun night!

In other news, Sarah is using the potty! I haven't been pushing but have been talking it up and encouraging all summer long and Saturday she went twice without first wetting her diaper so we put her in training pants all day yesterday (except for nap and bed time) and she did great. No #2 yet so we'll see how that goes on the potty, but this is very encouraging. I can't wait to lose the diapers in my life, it's been almost 4 years straight of giving my money to the Pampers co.

Next comes tackling that stinky old pacifier!
