Oh John!

For at least six months, John requests gel for his hair and cologne for his neck EVERY time we leave this home of ours. The day, when OF COURSE, I was in a hurry, I found this... Look how proud he is...it was all I could do not to beat him! J/K!! It did take a while to get it all out though!! This is the best styling product for a guy, but a LITTLE goes a long way!! A LONG, LONG, LONG Way! It is like putty! What is a Mother to do?

Question for you...

Should I be offended or complimented by the fact that 9 out of 10 kids that come over to play with my kids POOP while they are in our home! Thank goodness, most of those children do make it to the bathroom! OH THE JOY of Having LITTLE PEOPLE around!

We are ready for potty training!

Okay, let me rephrase that...I AM READY FOR POTTY TRAINING! I hate potty training! It is not my favorite thing to do! But I am truly ready! I am ready for "big boy pants" and stopping at EVERY public bathroom known to man, and pausing my life every ten minutes to harass this child about using the potty! I am ready for poop free pants! I am ready to stop buying diapers! I am ready to dart out the door with just a purse! (a purse that doesn't hold diapers and wipes!)

I am prepared, I have bought all the neccessary tools for the job! WE ARE READY TO DO THIS!

Everyone but JOHN that is! Every time I mention, it throws him into a fit of hysterics!

Will this child every do ANYTHING easily? I have learned and am trying to accept that God has a sense of humor! HE IS LAUGHING AT ME!

John will only put on his "big boy pants" over his jammies...won't try them on without any clothes! He truly has a will of iron, if he is ever potty trained, it will be a FESTIVUS MIRACLE! GOOD DAY!

Two weeks of SPRING BREAK!

We survived Spring Break, it is a miracle! No actually, the kids were great! I was the one that couldn't behave!

The weather was lousy (COLD AND RAINY) and we didn't do much, thank goodness for play dates! YAY!

We did have a few adventures here and there but I was naughty and didn't have my camera handy, except when we went to the Zoo. Our zoo is a great zoo, small and quaint...can see it all in one hour OR LESS!! It is great!

One day we ventured out to go to a Science Museum but discovered they are not open on Mondays so we headed over to the zoo. Hannah and Kirk were NOT happy, they are STILL convinced that I TRICKED them into going to the zoo. Oh well!

Anyway, here are the highlights from our afternoon at the zoo!

You can tell who will and who WILL NOT let me take pictures of them, can't you? (check out Hannah and Kirk!! SO HAPPY TO BE THERE!!) ha ha

Springtime Fun

We have some friends invite us over for a fun filled afternoon...EASTER EGG HUNT, jump houses, BBQ and FUN!

John was obsessed with this thing, even though the battery was DEAD...hmmm, I think I know what he needs for his birthday! Kirk and his buddy Tyler were so sweet and PUSHED that thing all over for him...SPOILED KID!

John didn't want to go on an Easter egg hunt...he wanted to be on the "TWUCK!"

(John Deere Truck)

And then Daddy showed him how to put the YELLOW eggs in the YELLOW basket, and he was off!

TOO CUTE!

This is Ruby's pal, Reubie...isn't she a crack up? LOVE HER!

And here are John and sweet Hannah, checking out the loot!

THANKS KEN & BARBIE!! WE HAD A LOVELY TIME!!

XOXOXO
