Potty Training

Well it’s not going that well….so we try when we try and sometimes she goes on the potty and sometimes she sits there for 45 minutes and then I let her off and we will try in 15 minutes and before I know it she has an accident. It’s really hard for me not to get distracted doing something to help Keegan and before I know it she has run off and peed somewhere. I read a great blog about potty training so I may be trying a different method soon.So I am not pushing her yet. She is taking baby steps towards wanting to be a big girl so we have come a little way. Keegan on the other hand is very interested but so not ready. Hopefully soon though because it would be great to not have to buy diapers (especially for 2 kids!) Two nights ago I asked if she needed to go, she said yes, I sat her down and a few minutes later, she said, “I DID IT!” She is getting there. I am sure it won’t be too much longer.

Valentine’s Day

So i am playing catch up because I have been a total slacker! I did 14 days of Valentines for Ryan this year. I got the idea from Pinterest and used some free printables from a blog which I am too lazy right now to look up. Some of the pics are a little blurry….

  This one’s my personal favorite! It says (in case you can’t read it) Even if I got asked out by Adam Levine, I’d still “chews” you! Ryan’s response was, “Yeah right I saw you drooling over him last night (watching the voice)”  

  

With cool mint oreos (his fav!)                             With cheese sticks (he loves his cheese!)

I guess I am missing one and I can’t remember which one…oh well.

Then for the last day we sent him on a scavenger hunt for his present…

Here are the cards for Daddy.

I forgot to take pictures of the awesome presents Ryan gave to me (Gift card to a fav store and a new chain for my favorite necklace that Keegan broke quite a while ago) Thanks Hunny!

  

Kade had a good Valentine's Day at school and loves the puzzle Valentines he got.

 

Keegan had fun earlier that day playing with his little girlfriend Sami. We had lunch made Valentines cards for Dad and cookies too!

Kamryn was sooo pooped she fell asleep on the couch.

Kade’s Valentines Mailbox

         

My favorite part about Valentine’s Day as a kid was making a Valentines box. Last year they didn’t do that in kindergarten so I was excited when Kade brought home instructions to make a box. I prepared it with the red paper and he did the rest,I did give  a little suggestion and help with the top!

Quote from The Help

I loved the book and movie, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I especially love what Aibileen tells Mae Mobley. I decided to make a printable to hang in Kamryn’s room and thought I would share it with anyone who wants it. It is done with a free scrapbooking kit from Summertime Designs. Every little girl should feel this way and I want Kamryn to always remember that she is all of those things and more. Hopefully this will also help remind me to tell her often because sometimes I get so busy with the day to day things I forget to take the time to tell my kids those things.

One mad kid!

Kade was being such a sweet kid and offered to take the trash out for me. After him not returning after a few minutes I went to see if he was okay, He was not very happy with me. He was mad that I tossed some old school papers. Honestly I am just happy that it was the recycle can and not the garbage can!

Sorry Kade! I guess I need to be a little more sneaky about getting rid of papers next time!

Something I have started doing though is scanning in his best work and then I am going to upload them into a photo book to avoid the clutter and make the memories last!

Super Bowl

We had a great day on Super Bowl Sunday, the weather was great and we had lots of yummy treats and our friends Nickey, Landon and Dylan came over.

  

6-Pack

I forgot to take a picture of Kade’s but a few weeks ago Kade proudly presented his work of art….Kamryn’s 6-pack!

Later on that day when we got to Target she likes to get a wipe and help wipe the handle on the cart and she lifted up her shirt to try and wipe off the marker. But when asked where her six pack was, she will show ya!
