**Edit added at bottom**
Favorite Happenings of the Week:- Lucas learning to say "poop" and pointing to where his poop is...hilarious. Time to start potty-training?? He also can identify when he's wet, so maybe it's the beginning.
- Sitting outside by the lake (at the house where I work) and imagining many summer days spent right there. Nice. I'll be working 2 or 3 full days/week during the summer, thus 2 or 3 full days to spend at home each week. Should be a pretty good schedule!
- Eating Little Caesar's Pizza for lunch yesterday with my mom, sister, and all the kiddos. Fun times... Sometimes there's just nothing better than cheap pizza and good company
.
- Finding some fun garage sales today...cute shoes, shorts, & a "bike" for Lucas, 3 new novels that I can't wait to read, summer jammies, and a tooth fairy pillow for my niece
. - Grilled steak and a yummy rice salad for supper out of the deck tonight
- Meeting some new neighbors today...one down the hills with 6 kids!...and one up the hill with a boy 2 months older than Lucas. A potential play-mate? That'd be fun!

Mmm rice salad? Do you have a recipe written out, or did you wing it? I'd love to see what it's made of if you have the time to share.
I'd also love to hear all about Lucas's new world of potty training once you get him started. It sounds like he's there!
@baby4ztarx3 - @BrieanneVanessa - Sorry, I've had a lack of time today but I will get the rice salad recipe written up for you gals soon! I found it in a magazine but changed it up a little. Mmm!
