4th of July

We had a fun weekend Robbie was off on the 4th and our ward did a breakfast at 6:30 am so I woke everyone up and we went to that then we went to the park to play and had a waterballoon fight. Then we came home and all took naps. The fireworks for the city weren't until 9:30pm so we watched movies and the kids played in the pool outside. Finally when it was time to go to the fireworks Porter, Mia and Elijah were asleep, Kylie begged Robbie to take her but he didn't. And I guess that it's good he didn't, we had a friend who went and she said they started really late. We watched Tempe Town Lake fireworks on the tv and after they were over I turned and said to Robbie well now we can go to bed but they will be in traffic for 2 hours.
This whole weekend we all just spent together it was kinda nice to not have anywhere to go or anything to do. The kids really missed Robbie today. They woke up this morning and asked where he was, and when he was comming home. When he called at lunch today Elijah kept asking are you comming yet dad? We don't realize how much we enjoy having him around until he's not here.
It's nice that we had a relaxing weekend because this friday Robbie is buying our floors so he will have a lot to do to get them installed. But oh how we need it. Just today Porter spit up like 10 times on the carpet and Kylie and Cara Mia both spilt milk on it. HOW GROSS. Who knows what is on these carpets. My biggest decision is between the mahogany or the vintage chestnut. The vintage chestnut is darker and I love it but it's more expensive so I have to figure out if I like it that much or not.
Anyway that's about it with us Nolan's.
Oh and Mia is having tons of accidents ever since Robbie was home on Friday before that she wasn't having any. I don't know if it's for attention or what. But today she had 4 accidents before noon. I mean that's not even trying. So if anyone has any advise I'm all for it. I don't want her to turn into Kylie who we are still dealing with it. I asked her today if she wanted to wear diapers again and she said no and she loves her panties so who knows.

Hi Tiffany!
You know I read somewhere that toddlers are all about learning and mastering. It's possible that Mia has already "learned and mastered" potty training and now she is focusing on learning the next thing. In the meantime she forgets to use the potty. If she hasn't gotten back to her normal habits by now, maybe you want to regulate her liquid intake and figure out when she needs to pee and poop. Usually there is a schedule if she's also fed and watered on a schedule. You can remind her at those times to go use the potty because she might otherwise be caught up in learning or doing something new and exciting! Hope to hear from you again soon!
Love,
