Weekend update

This has been a good weekend. A complete mixture of relaxing AND getting some things done! On Saturday I got up at 6 am....and couldn't get back to sleep! Somewhere around 1:00 I FINALLY talked myself into getting off the couch and going to Target and doing the grocery shopping! Logan stayed home with JR which was VERY helpful... I went to Target, got the carseat/stroller, my breastpump, some milk storage bags, and a box of newborn diapers with some gift cards that I have recieved as well as the 10% off for registering there. I also got Logan Madagascar 2...which hasn't come out of the DVD player since we put it in! OH Man, I wish I would have filmed him when he saw the movie come out of the bag! His eyes lit up, he was screaming "GASCAR....MAAAAADAGASCAR" IT was hilarious! Then I did the grocery shopping which took forever...even going by myself...#1 because I CAN take my time and really price shop, and #2 because the list was long! After unloading the car and putting everything away, JR and Jason loaded up the old washer and Dryer and took them to Jason's house. After an hour or so, They called me and Logan over so the boys could play and we all ate dinner together! I got home late, and I was so tired. I went to bed and woke up at 8 on Sunday morning. JR put the stroller together and I read the instructions to make sure he was doing it right!! LOL Then I read all the safety instructions for the car seat...although I have done all this before, you never know what might have changed I mean who would have ever thought that you would need to be in a booster until you are 4' 9".....NOT ME! For the rest of the afternoon we watched football...The TEXANS rocked it! (By the way shout it out for my Dad's team...the Wimberley Texans won on Friday night 62-3....Talk about Red, White, and Blue Domination!) I also workied on an afghan that I started before we moved. I haven't really worked on it much in the new house and I finally felt like doing it. IT is almost done, but wouldn't you know, I ran out of yarn!...Then I JR and I moved the huge dog kennel, so I could do some MASSIVE cleaning all around it....I clean out the kennel every morning and they get a new "bed" every morning and evening, so I couldn't figure out why my house is starting to smell like dog! OH because I have 6 of them! Then I felt disgusting so I went to take a bath for an hour then I showered and went to bed. I got a GREAT nights sleep didn't wake up but once to go potty! It was wonderful.
Logan used the potty 5 times in a row last night! I was so proud of him, in no way do I think he is potty trained, but he has been so fickle about the whole process. He will do great for a couple of times, then pee on the floor...sometimes JR gets frustrated and ends up putting a diaper on him so that he doesn't have to clean any messes, but that just makes it easier in the short run! JR understands this, which is good....and I understand that sometimes, we are just too damn tired to clean up anymore pee! Anyway, Logan is doing great, but there is a lot of back and forth!

For this week...there is a terrible amount of things that need to get done this week and this weekend. I made a list last night, but I am still adding to it, and not crossing anything off yet! Some of it is easy stuff, like packing the hospital bag..I STILL haven't done that, I need to take the carseat up to Babies R us and make sure it is installed properly, but first I need to install it, but first I need to vacuum out my car! Anyway, I need to start crossing things off, I cant believe I only have 10 Days left! AHHHHH!

The Puppies are doing great...they are hilarious and growing so fast. They have gone from sliding backwards on the tile floor when they walk, to running across the entire living room! I love them so much, but I am looking forward to seeing them all go!I am sad that IF we get them all sold (I still have a couple left) I will only have a few days of peace before the baby gets here! I also can't believe they will be 6 weeks on Saturday!

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Does that mean you sold some of the puppies already? Did you put an ad in the paper?

Have you thought about trying Pull Ups for Logan? That way if he has accidents you don't have a mess to clean up...

yeah, we sold some of them but they are still with us until they are weened from Dezi.

Unfortunately pull-ups SUCK! they are kind of like little swimmers, in that they are very difficult to actually pull up or down, so actually teaching your child to recognize that he needs to potty and then trying to pull down the pull up is difficult, Logan got so frustrated with them that he would sit on the potty with the pull ups on. Also, when he would try to pull them down he could only get them so far and sadly, its a big step recognizing that you need to potty, but having to hold it too...is just way to much for a 2 year old, and would end up peeing on the floor anyway. I tried to go up in size...it didn't help! So now we are just using underwear.

LOL! I know that shouldn't be funny, but it is. Those things are supposed to help with potty training, not hinder it. Well, good luck!!
