Elizabeth may no longer be peeing on the Princesses but now has taken to POOPING on them instead!

Elizabeth may no longer be peeing on the Princesses but now has taken to POOPING on them instead! Today I had had enough & I made HER clean the princess panties up. She didn't like that AT ALL! I told her I don't like to clean it up either & that I KNOW she can poop on the potty like a big girl because she WAS doing it until a couple of days ago. If she was sick then I would understand. I DON'T understand it when she is fine, has JUST gotten off the potty without any coaxing from me & then five minutes later she poops on the Princesses.

This has been a recent develpoment over the past week. It usually happens while I'm feeding Charlotte so I'm pretty sure it's about attention. Hopefully I have solved that problem. I give Elizabeth lots of individual attention by the way.

Tonight we had the first major storm of the Monsoon season out here. In town the rain measured 2.64 inches in 2 hours....the rain was still coming at that point during the 10 o'clock newscast. I was just returning home from Mervyn's when it hit. In a matter of seconds....literally just seconds, I was soaked to the skin. I had gotten out to grab a blanket from the trunk so I could get the girls inside without getting them soaked when the sky began to pour buckets of rain. I said enough if this, I'll wait it out in the car!

Keep in mind, the weatherman said the average total rainfall for July, August & September during the Monsoon season here is just over 2 inches. We got that in ONE night in some areas of town. I'm just glad I was in my driveway when the heavy rains hit. The roads flood SO bad out here by our house even when the rain isn't heavy.

Bob had heard me come home & couple of minutes after I pulled up & didn't come inside, he came running out with a box over his head, He was going to use it to keep Elizabeth from getting soaked but she didn't cooperate...having been woken up from a nap. He was soaked but managed to get her inside without her getting very wet. Meanwhile I'm getting soaked freeing Charlotte's car seat from it's base. The sun shade on her seat kept her bone dry. Bobby & I both looked like a couple of drowned fat rats wearing clothes. It doesn't rain that heavy here very often.

We now have a lake in our backyard & I'm hoping it dries up before Crissy comes out with the kids. Our pool is in the middle of our "backyard" lake. Come Friday I will probably have weeds poking up through the rocks due to the rains. Oh well, we need the rain due to the 5 + year drought we've been in.

We are looking forward to Crissy's visit & seeing the kids. I just wish Jon was coming also. I guess that four out of five isn't bad,

I need to get some sleep. My best friend is coming over tomorrow. Since our kids all play well together...they will have fun destroying Elizabeth's room. It will be like a toy bomb went off in there! Better in one room then throughout the house right?
