I figure this might be good to have in my back pocket ~10 years from now. ;-)

Callum is doing FANTASTIC with his potty training! We are well on our way!

Loganism at the dinner table

He's just tricking you so that he can get your attention. [speaking of
his brother]

Pathetic

I don't often post meltdown/crying pics, because usually I'm too busy
consoling my kids to take a picture. But this morning was just too
much (and I couldn't resist - ha!). I now have a whole series of this
and frankly, I should've added audio/video just to share with you how
pathetic (and loud) Callum was here.

Anyway, I got a little jar of jelly beans from Amanda's baby shower
yesterday which I brought home for the boys to enjoy. Since they don't
normally eat jelly beans (it's not something I keep in the house!) the
newness and uniqueness of this treat was really special.

Which means, the jar has now been promoted to Callum's "great job!"
treats as he's potty training this week. But, having the sweet tooth
that he does (like his father!), he isn't satisfied with just one or
two that mean ol' mom gives him as a reward.

No, he wants the entire jar....

A full day of activities!

On our agenda for the day:

1) Braylen's 2nd Birthday Party (where the boys were thrilled to get
angry birds painted on their arms)
2) Check in on our friends - Phil broke his neck playing rugby and
needed to have surgery this week (he's doing well now)
3) Baby shower for my friend Amanda. Woohoo!
4) Date night for me and Jon. It's been awhile! :)

(And tomorrow I'm going out with Catherine to celebrate her birthday!)

Kim rocks!

So around the holiday time, Kim got me a small bag of dark chocolate
peanut butter cups because she knows I'm a dark chocolate fan.

The first picture is what I texted her when I found my bag of
chocolates, opened and almost gone, and I hadn't even had one
chocolate yet!

The second picture is what Kim just got me today. With a subtle
message to my husband to keep his grubby paws off this time. ;-)

Kindergarten, here we come!

Just finished filing Logan's school registration paperwork. Since
we're requesting a different school from our neighborhood school, we
won't know until the end of March, whether he's in or not.

Assembly time.... Logan's face says it all! :)
