There are basketballs floating in the backyard!

It has rained so much today. I mean huge thunderstorms with buckets of rain falling. This is the first time that we had this much rain in our new house and now we know that we must landscape better. When our yard in saturated with water, then it runs down into the flower bed and onto the front porch. YIKES! And when I looked into the backyard, I literally saw Ethan's basketballs floating!

PLUS...it's supposed to rain all night and probably tomorrow evening as well.

I must stop blogging!! THIS IS ADDICTING!!!!

Wonder

Brennen pulled a few snails out of the flower bed today after it rained to show Ethan. It was amazing to watch the wonder and fear in his eyes. He was so intrigued with watching them slowly make their way back, yet SO afraid that they would get him. Evan, on the other hand, crawled his way over and wanted to eat them, EWW!

PS...I noticed today that Evan can get into a sitting position from a crawling/laying on his tummy position.

Sleep....Who Needs It?

I have no idea why my children cannot sleep on Saturday nights. I am wondering if this is just a preview to slumber parties and the teenage years. For three weeks straight I have been EXHAUSTED instead of rested on a Sunday. For two weeks straight we have missed church. Thank goodness I can watch the service online on Tuesday.

I wish I knew what the answer was... but until then...here's to those who are flipping channels at 4 am

YAHOOO!!

Ethan is officially potty trained! There is no greater feeling in the world than not having to deal with diapers. Granted, there is a night time "just in case" Pull up, but it's very rarely wet. In fact, the only time in the past week that it has been was when I just didn't want to get up to help him to the bathroom. SO...mark another huge accomplishment in his book.

Ya' know...there for a while I thought he would be crawling across the stage at his graduation. Then there was him being mute. Now I can take a deep breath and know that he won't be wearing diapers during his wedding day. WHEW!

Ethan's birthday is coming up. Ethan will be 3!!! That's right, he's officially a "big boy"! We are getting him a wooden swing set for his birthday. I am looking forward to having a mini "park" in our backyard. I also have a party to plan. Last year we had quite a fandango with the Aloha shirt theme. This year it is going to be thrown together in a flash. I know the last week will be a mad dash getting everything together because I am such a procrasinator!
