Here are my dishes that Nathan got me for our anniversary. Aren't they cute?! Alex is so funny with the banana sticker on his forehead. I put it on his forehead once and now whenever he has a banana with one he has to take it off and stick it on his head. Alex is terrified of the vacuum! Nathan always tries to make a point whenever he vacuums to have Alex help him. It's funny. He's freaking out the whole time but you can tell he kind of likes to push it around. Lastly, these are my men sitting on the couch. Definitely two of a kind! I caught them sitting there watching tv and snuck a picture of them when they didn't have a clue. Nathan gets really into things and can zone everything else out. Apparently Alex got this too.

I've been doing a lot of cleaning the last couple days. Real Exciting! Today, I was doing a lot of cleaning with sos with bleach and didn't think about what shirts I was wearing. I was wearing a nice blue one that I wore yesterday before I took a shower and then after my shower I changed into a nice purple shirt. They're both maternity and I don't have a whole lot of shirts that fit me now. Well, I noticed that my purple one had white spots on it and realized what it was from. Then, I realized that my blue one probably looks the same. I was so upset! I ruined two shirts today!

Tomorrow I have my doctors appointment. It'll probably be a lot of the same old stuff but Nathan gets to go with me to this one so that'll be fun.

Nathan is going on his first trip this weekend. I'm going to miss him a bunch! He's going to Arizona and will be gone friday through monday afternoon. Alex, Chalupa, Poky, and I are all headed to Salina for the weekend. Should be fun! I'm glad I have the family close! It wouldn't be much fun to live somewhere far away when my hubby goes on trips.

My dad brought down a chest of drawers and a toddler bed for Alex's room a couple weeks ago. We finally got the chest of drawers moved in there and I think tomorrow we're going to put the bed together. I put all of Alex's and Addison's clothes in the drawers. It was fun to put all those little girl clothes in there!

We've been working with Alex with the potty yesterday and today. He went once yesterday and once today. We think he holds it in cause he doesn't want to go potty. When he finally did it we were so excited that we scared him with our reaction. He was uber excited to get chocolate as a treat though. Now, whenever we sit him on the potty we say if you go peepee you'll get some chocolate! Hopefully it'll click soon for him.

Do I get chocolate? :)

I really like your dishes! They are super cool. I was surprised to see the pictures of Alex & the vacuum cleaner!

So...the vacuum was actually on? crazy! You'll have to show us pictures of the room when you get the new bed in there! Man, I wish I got chocolate for going potty! :)

Those look like nice dishes!

That's funny about the vacuum. My kids sit on the couch and cuddle while I vacuum. Sean thinks that he is comforting Eleanor, but I think it is really Eleanor who is comforting Sean LoL!

I am so sorry about your bleached shirts. How frustrating! At least you go some cleaning done though, good for you! Are starting to go into the "nesting" phase already?

I remember how exciting it was to have little girl stuff after Eleanor was born. I would've been happy with another boy, but it was great to see all the pink!

I gave Sean one M&M everytime he went pee or poo on the potty when we were first starting out with the potty training and it worked great! It didn't take him long at all to figure it out. Now he goes all by himself and he doesn't even need the chocolate anymore.

I'm so glad your coming down and can cut my hair, i have had to cut my own bangs, my hair is longer now than it was before you cut it! also i can tell you stuff about my first week of college and such!

Well, Joanne if you lived close I might give you a piece of chocolate if you went potty at our house. LOL! Looks like we won't get the bed together till after Nathan gets back cause we were uber busy today and will be tomorrow too. Yes, I think I've entered the nesting phase full blast. I'm all about getting the kiddos room all together. I can't wait to hear all about your big college life! And, I can't wait to cut your hair!
