Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

Potty Training

Well, we are back in the diapers.  Occasionally we are peeing on the potty, Stephen that is. :)

We will get there, we are just not there yet.  In the meantime we have a full drawer of little boys underwears with "Thomas, Lighting McQueen, and The Wonder Pets."

I guess the question should be, Who is on your underwear?

What have we been doing?

Well, take a look.  Hundreds of dollars spent on Christmas gifts and these are the games we play....


Pirates....
Lemonade Stand...
Flying Game / Dinosaurs????

Anyways, I find it crazy, wonderful, and creative.  As much as a part of me wishes that they would play with the toys we got them for Christmas, the creative side of me loves watching their creative minds IMAGINE and develop new things.  Who knows, I might be raising some rocket scientists or veterinarians, which I love.

Big BOY

He decided today was the day.

TODAY, is the day he decided to pee-pee in the potty..... life according to Stephen.

(I jumped at the opportunity, and I am completely shocked by his willingness.  But, I had 6 little pairs of underwear ready to go.)


So, he did it!  And we are working on it..... Personally I think little boys "underwears" are the cutest things.  

We have lots of snow...

Can you believe there is a flag on top of the fire hydrant?


Now do you see why?

I'm still here...

Did you think I had left for good?

Nope, I am still here OR now back here.

It is good to be home.  I am still unpacking and of course my suitcase is the last one to unpack.  Yes, I have been living out of it for the past week.  Well.... really the past three weeks.

Happy news, it is SNOWING!  Really, really snowing..... we are supposed to get 6-10" during the day today.  So now I might actually have to use the snowblower because David is at work.  If this happens, it will be a first.
