POTTY TRAINING

I think that I have decided that potty training is my least favorite part of motherhood. Last Monday night I decided to take on the task of potty training Connor (he is 2 1/2). So on Tuesday morning when he got up we put underwear on (he was sooo excited!) Well, I didn't have the same level of excitement especially when I cleaned up 4-5 accidents that morning (thank goodness for naptime!) As much as I dislike this, I keep reminding myself of how much money we are saving by not having him in diapers or pull-ups. Yesterday we had a lot of progress and I went to bed last night feeling very positive about how well he did, only 2 accidents in the whole day! Unfortunately, he has already had 2 accidents today. Both boy's wear diapers at nap and bedtime, and this week Clayton wants to work on staying dry at naps and bedtime so he can wear underwear to bed. So I am trying to do better about having dinner ready early enough so he can be done drinking by 6:30 at night. So all this to say, I haven't gotten anything else done in the past week, it is amazing how much time goes into putting kids on potty, cleaning up messes, washing clothes and trying to stay calm and positive (I struggle with this one the most!) Well, need to go, Connor just informed me that he pooped in his underwear! (make it 3 accidents :P)

Some Winter Picture's

We have had REALLY long and snowy winter this year and we have all been beginning to wander if spring is ever going to arrive. But this weeks "warm" spell has almost melted all of our snow. The boy's have had a lot of fun in the snow this year, here are some picture's:

Clayton, Connor and Daddy under our big pine tree

It was fairly cold all winter so when it warmed up a bit, the boy's begged Daddy to make a snowman.....

...but he didn't even last for a day. That night we had extremely high winds so Mr. Snowman blew over! :o(

Dakota loves all the attention he can get!

This is a random picture, but I just had to post it. On my birthday my brother's gave me this red scarf. Connor loves scarves and wanted to wear my other one, as you can tell by the smile on his face- he loved it!

Come on spring!

Kids Kwotes

Yesterday I was filling a water pitcher and Clayton asks, "who made the water?" Connor answers, "God made the water," then a thoughtful pause-he continues, "and probably Daddy helped him!"
