Potty Training!

Well we are finally almost through it! Ryan went one whole week with only one accident and that was during a nap so doesn't really count. That was last Wednesday thru this Wednesday he has had 2 accidents since then but he is doing really well way better than any other time and we are officially out of diapers (for him anyways)! We are so proud of him and so excited to have one down one to go! Olivia is also doing really well she is still in diapers but loves to go on the toilet! Sorry for so much info but to those of you with kids you totally understand and for those of you without kids just wait one day the joy of your day will have to do with bodily functions! Sorry for no pictures I lost my camera a few weeks ago and it just hasn't turned back up, luckily I have good camera happy friends so I will have some of my kids in their costumes but it takes awhile!
One other super exciting thing (at least for me) I found a c-frame bunk bed (meaning the bottom half is a futon) on Craigslist for $55 so we can finally have guests stay at our house we didn't have a lot of room in our spare bedroom so this is the perfect solution. So now our guest don't have to share a twin bed, just ask Jen and Sam not a lot of fun! Anyway that is about it! I just had to share my excitement I love good deal!

My Silly Boy

This is a conversation between Ryan and his daddy.
Ryan comes up with a scowl and says: I'm mad
Dad: why?
Ryan: cause I can't see my forehead
He also likes to pretend like he a super hero and when he is in super hero mode you can't call him anything else. So randomly you will be calling him Superman and then he will just decide he is done with that and say, "You can call me Ryan now."
Also when you call him bud or monster (that's my pet name for both my kids) he just looks at you and says, "no I'm Ryan." I know none of them sound as cute in writing as they do in real life but it is so cute especially if you know he can't say "r" or "l" so it is that much cuter

On another note we are yet again trying to potty train (this is a year in the making) and I told him that if he could go the whole day with no accidents that he could get a Lightning McQueen car well on Friday we were to 4pm and at the store and he was still good so I bought the car just in case, unfortunately he had an accident at about 6:30 and yesterday again about 2 hours before he went to bed. I'm not sure who was sadder me or him, anyways today he made it the whole day even through church. I was so proud of him I am really hoping this is finally the beginning of the end of potty training! Also Olivia is really excited about the whole bathroom thing now too so she has a fun potty chart now too and while she rarely has a dry diaper she goes on the toilet almost every time Ryan does and actually goes so we are close there too. I am really hoping by Thanksgiving we will be out of diapers forever!!! Sorry no pics but do you really want pictures of that. I did want to get one of him finally getting his car but my batteries were
dead. Oh well!
Okay so I did find a fairly recent one this face shows about how excited Ryan is about potty training he just doesn't care! But he is still cute anyways!

Applesauce Man

Okay so everyone needs to go to my mom's blog it has the cutest video of Ryan making applesauce and if you listen in the backdrop you can hear Olivia screaming! Yep that is about how my kids are, one is always being nice and helpful while the other one is screaming, except when we are in the store when they gang up and me and run in 2 different directions. It is a good thing they are so cute definitely a built in defense mechanism.

Girls Night Out

Okay so it looks like Wednesday Oct. 22 is going to be the best day. So we are going to do it then at 7pm at my house. They just got a new mineral make-up line out so that is the type of party I'm doing. So if you live in the area or even close it is going to be a lot of fun and face it we all need a little me time every once in a while. So come if you need the address or info leave me a comment or an e-mail with your e-mail or phone # and I'll give you all the info!

Body Shop Girls Night Out

Okay for all you girls that live in my area I am having a girls night out party for the Body Shop. They just got their new holiday catalog and they have some really cool gift packages and some really yummy new holiday smells. Perfect stuff for the hard to buy for person for Christmas (everyone could use more lotion) they also have stuff for guys now too. Anyways I have a couple of options on days and I wanted to know what would be best for most people I have a poll on the side or you can just leave me a comment telling me what would work best for you all. It is going to be at my house so kids aren't an issue I'll have a movie going in my kids bedroom. Anyways the days I have available are on the poll and you can pick more than one day. Anyway anyone in the area is invited let me know what is best and if someone wants stuff but just isn't available at nights just let me know and I can get a catalog to you. Anyways by this Saturday I need to have a date picked and then I will post the date. Thanks!
