First off...WOWZA. I can't believe it's September already and we are experiencing fall weather. Not sure how I feel about that one yet. I know everyone is jumping on the Blogtember that is happening over at SOML, but I just am not that organized for that right now.

The MN State Fair is done and I, for one, am so happy about it. I finally have my Husband back and my life can go back to some kind of normal. We went 2 times this year, which is less than normal, but plenty this year with the heat. We got in all the yummy foods we needed and then some.

I usually take weekends off for blog posts and I counted yesterday as part of the weekend. So no Music Monday yesterday, but I'm already thinking of next week, so stay tuned.

My Babygirl starts full time daycare this week. Both of us decided to take her this morning, since she starts in a new room, with a new cubby, new(ish) teachers and new(ish) friends. Usually Wayne drops off and I pick up, but we both decided to go to make the transition complete. She's already been in this class off and on for about a month now, but she will officially be moved over starting today. We'll see how we all are at the end of the week. I know that a lot of parents are going through the whole 1st day of school business, so just know that I kind of get it, too, OK? OK.

We have regressed in the whole potty training department. She did SO good at the fair both Friday AND Saturday and then for some reason on Sunday she just wasn't into it. We were home most of the day, too and it just wasn't clicking. It's so hard to not get frustrated or discouraged, but I'm trying to not let it get to me. Monday was more of the same. I'm hoping to get her back on track this week and keep at it and hopefully school will help me re-enforce it as well.

Anyways, that's all I got for today. Hope everyone had a great long holiday weekend and I hope you all have a great first week of September.

So two weekends ago, when I was laid up with my sprained ankle and couldn't do anything, I watched the whole 1st season of Kendra On Top On Demand.

Yes, all 14 (or something like that) episodes. Anyone else LOVE On Demand like I do? Love it! And I still love her, so I was all about it. I just saw that season 2 starts in mid-September! Yahoo!! Great. Just what I need. Another show to add to my list.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen that I finally bought Hailey her very own potty over this last weekend and everything is going SO well. I know it's only Friday and it hasn't even been a full week, but we are making HUGE strides in the right direction.  At home AND at school! Yay! I don't want to jinx it, so I'm gonna wait a week or two to do more of a full post about it. Hopefully more to come on this topic next week if everything keeps progressing great!

Another huge decision that we made this last week is to send Hailey to daycare a/k/a school full-time. Starting next week. As in this coming Tuesday after the holiday. Also, she's moving up from the Toddler room to the Pre Pre-School room. Yes, you read that right. The Pre Pre-School room. Somebody hold me. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. It's all happening way too fast. Everything all at once. Make. It. Stop.

Today is my first State Fair Day. Usually by this time I've gone at least twice. I feel so late to the game, but with my ankle and the heat, I haven't wanted to venture out there yet. But today is the day. I am currently at the fair taking in all my favorites. I'm planning on going on Saturday and maybe Monday, too, depending on when other family/friends decide to go.

And last, but not least, since I have today off and am at the fair, that means I get a 4 day weekend! Holla!!

Have a great weekend friends!
