Disney on Ice

I got a call last minute from my friend who had 2 extra tickets to go see Disney on Ice, the 7:30 show. I talked it over with Neil and even tho we had a raging SuperBowl party happening at our house, we thought it would be fun for Justus to go. So off I went with J to go see. He did really well. Sitting there really interested. Of course the first show was of CARS characters and he LOVES him some CARS. So that had his attention. It was fun and Im glad he got the experience.

Good Job Justus!

Im not sure where this ranks on the accomplishments scale, but its gotta be somewhere in fine motor. Yesterday at BSF Justus zipped his jacket up all by himself. He first did it for the teachers when they went outside, then for me when I picked him up. Good Job Justus!!

Out with the Old, in with the New

Its been almost 20 years. Yep, the scent that Ive worn for almost 20 years - since Jr. High sometime - I thought Id wear forever. Eternity. I thought Id wear it for an eternity. I always said I would. To me, it was a classic.

But along came the most important man in my life. He felt there could be something better. So the hunt, then the switch was made. I am no longer an Eternity girl. I am now a Very Irresistible girl.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Lookin up

The past few days have been rough. Weve been a sicky house. The kids have been sick, Justus with an ear infection and nasty cough and Haven getting over her rash and nasty cough. Yesterday I was in bed all day. Ugh!! Awful. How I hate that.

But I have to say, God is so good. Yesterday the sun wasnt shinning, it was all cloudy and dreary. But today, things are looking up. I feel better, my kids are getting better and it was a great sun shinny day! God knew today would be the day I could take the kids out. His timing is perfect, even in the small things. So out to the park we went for some fresh air. Oh it was soooo nice!

Saturday Morning fun

Since it was actually sunny today, we played a bit outside.

Also, have to mention, Havens pony tail. This is the first time she has actually worn a pony tail. So cute!

What do you do when....

your kids shoes are all muddy??

You let them jump and run and splash in the rain of course!!

Justus got to run and jump and play in the rain and puddles. He loved it!

Milestone

Potty training Justus has not been the easiest thing Ive ever had to do. In fact, at times, it has been downright difficult, frustrating, angering and patience-testing. We have been at this for a year and a half. Last night, a milestone occurred. Justus slept all night in his underwear and kept his pants and bed CLEAN and DRY!! WOW!! Im so proud of him. He has worn pull ups this whole time during the night. But he has been doing a good job keeping those clean so that is what sparked my taking the next step with him. I didnt wake him up at all to go, he went the whole night just like normal. Yay for the victory!!
