Welcome to the Scharrer family's real life story! Most of our story is written for, and about, our four kids and the spice they add to our lives. It's our story of happiness, craziness, and sometimes ridiculousness. We've journaled through childbirth, the terrible two's, private school (and our public school experience), an autism diagnosis, medical school, residency, and long-term mission work in Africa.

Now we're following a new adventure, which involves a 45 foot motorcoach, homeschool, and as many ski slopes as we can go down in one year.

For posts from while we were living in Zimbabwe and updates about our future plans in Zimbabwe, please see our mission blog...

"I went potty in back yard."

For some reason I really just didn't see this coming. I always figured this would be something I'd hear from a boy, but not from Maida!

Sure enough, when Erik and I were hauling boxes from the house to our garage, Maida was outside playing, and at a time when Erik and I were both inside talking, Maida came in and said, "I went potty in back yard." We asked her to show us where she had went potty and she brought us right over to the flower bed where the flowers had most definitely recently been "watered." The stinker even managed to take her underwear off before going.

When I asked her if she stood up to go potty or sat down, she told me that she had sat down on the ground. I asked her if her bottom got dirty and she said that it had. So then I asked her if she had remembered to brush it off. She said "no," and then took off running into the house. I followed her in to see what in the world she was doing and she had gotten a big, long haired brush that we use for dusting and sweeping up small messes, and was "brushing" her bottom off!

I almost died laughing.
