That's why I can't but HELP to clean before we go anywhere for any extended period of time.<br /><br />That and a few horror stories of coming home to a neglected fridge - ew. I do clean out the food and make sure the trash is out. Thankfully the trips I've got coming up I won't have to worry about all that because Andy will still be here to hold down the homefront (much as I'd love for him to be with us).Moriah @ Please Pass the Salthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738724429433272083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30570568.post-45517111201821348622009-04-27T23:02:00.000-06:002009-04-27T23:02:00.000-06:00I totally do that too.

Little Savanah is growing up so quickly. I remember when you were blogging about her potty training. Mary is now 2 1/2 and I am potty training her. She is in big girl pants today and is doing pretty good. I give her a little candy treat if she goes in the potty and it seems to be working really well. I hope you have safe and wonderful trip.
