Weekly Update & big news!

Nothing too interesting has been happening at the Spencer household. Patrick got a Temp position at SOS staffing and will be working at Nuskin for the next 3 weeks boxing various items. He says it's been hurting his back because he has been standing for 8 hours at a time. But he says he'll get used to it. Matthew Garner, Amy's husband has been working the same shift and Patrick has enjoyed talking to someone he knows. He said it makes the day go faster when he's talking with him.

On Monday Nuskin posted that a Tech position is available. The same position Patrick worked at 2 and a half years ago. He went ahead and applied for the position and has an interview with the HR rep, Natalie, on Thursday. He's hoping he gets it.

Well, I might as well announce it. No, I am not pregnant. But, Patrick is considering going to Law School. So there is a chance that in one year from now we'll be gone to grad school. He's thinking he wants to go to Michigan States Law program since they offer a degree in government law and he's really interested in returning to the Detroit area. (yes, Michigan State is in East Lansing, but maybe we'll end up moving the 2 hours to the Detroit area.) I'm a little excited about this new adventure. We don't know if it's going to happen, yet. but at least we're thinking about it.

So news with Audrey. She FINALLY DID IT! She is potty trained....well mostly. But she goes pee pee in the potty all on her own. I don't have to remind her, I don't have to ask if she needs to go. She can go an entire day being dry. Except for anytime she is napping. Poop is another story...but she is trying.
This morning, when I was getting her ready for school and had her sitting on the potty. She said to me, the potty is for babies and the toilet is for big girls and ran to the toilet and sat down. Maybe the potty chair will be gone in the near future. WooHoo! no more dumping pee and poo into the toilet and then cleaning the chair. (I'm super excited about that) Seriously, If I've not explained it before I'll explain it again. I HATE POTTY TRAINING.

Patrick talked to Audreys teacher ( think it was traci, I can't remember) at Adventure Time, the daycare she is at. Apparently every time she has to go potty she smiles, winks at the teacher. The teacher then asks Audrey if she is ready and Audrey responds that she's ready and runs off and goes potty all by herself. She refuses to have the teacher help her. I'm so proud of my little one.

SEPTEMBER PEOPLE! We've been working on this since SEPTEMBER! I am ecstatic about this.

A few weeks ago Patricks mom, Karen, took Audrey to see Toy Story 3 and bought audrey this adorable mini Jessie doll.

We've been looking at the Disney Store to see if we could find a matching Bullseye and Woody doll, we just couldn't track one down. 2 nights ago we were at the Store, looking again, and I found them. We got the last Bullseye and the the 2nd to last woody. Audrey was so excited and ran around the store having woody ride on Bullseyes back. She slept with all three that night.

She loves these characters so much, and believes that they are so real that yesterday when we were getting in the car Audrey wouldn't let me leave until woody was buckled up in his own seat.
