I'm very thankful for tax returns!!!!!!

I'm thankful for chocolate even though I shouldn't be it goes straight to my gut, but it does bring a sense of calmness and relaxation for a moment.

The internet so I can stay in touch with family and friends.

My primary kids, I think I learn more from them then they do from me.

My husband, bless his little heart.

Hairspray, I've never been so thankful for hairspray until I had to deal with the wind.

Digital cameras, now I don't have pictured scattered everywhere, there nice and neat on a little disk.

Wordless Wednesdays

I'm going to try to do a new thing called wordless wednesday.  Every wed. I will randomly put pics up with no words.  I'm going to try and put up alot of old pics.  Thanks for the ideas Brooke.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS

Well it's almost 11 p.m. on thursday.  I wanted to do a flashback friday, but I won't be around on friday.  So I figured this was close enough. This pic was taken after Carson was born.  The funny thing about this pic is the hat.  When I met him he was wearing that hat, I hated that hat.  I'm so glad that hat finally was lost.  I'm sure it was an accident.  Love ya Derek.

Brought to you today by the letter S

Brooke was doing this on her blog.  So I had her pick me a letter so I could list my ten favorite things that start with that letter.  I got Ssssss.  Let's see what I can do.
1.  Silence after a long noisy day.

2. Sick days they come in very handy when I don't want my husband to go to work.

3. Sugar, do I need to say more?

4. Sand, it can entertain the kids for hours.

5. Scentsy Candle.

6. Sacrament, and Sunday school.

7. Slurpee's (not the red kind)

8. Sippy cups, they have prevented alot of spills.

9. Snickers, I can't get enough of those.

10. Sales, any kind of sale.

Does anyone else want a letter?

Thanks for the letter Brooke.

I'm trying to start some new things on my blog so bare with me.  I've been reading Brooke's blog and I love it so I'm going to try a few things she does.

I'm thankful ......

that I have a house to keep me out of this crappy windy weather.

that my two year old still takes long naps.

for the wii, it has been really fun.

for grandparents, so me and Derek can get away sometimes.

for crockpots on days that I'm busy.

for caller I.D. I don't know what I ever did without it.  Think back in the day when you just blindly picked up your phone and had to talk to whoever it was on the other end.

Well that was my first attempt at thankful thursdays.  Tell me what you think.

potty training

Hey does anyone have any good ideas on potty training.  I just don't have the patience anymore.  After 2 kids you just wish that the third kid would just catch on.  They copy all of the not so good things I say and do.  I can never seem to make it to the bathroom by myself, so I know they know how to do it.  So why can't they pick up on how to go to the potty instead of all the not so great things I do.  Kids you got to love them.

New underwear drawer

Isaac has finally decided that maybe he should start going on the potty.  So we went out and let him pick some big boy underwear.  He decided that handy manny looked good.  That night he wanted to wear them to bed, so we had a big fight about it.  In the end I put his diaper on then put his underwear over the top of his diaper.  We both ended up happy.  I got up to put his other underwear away, but of course he wanted to do it himself.  I told him to go put his underwear in the drawer. Later I went into the kitchen to my surprise I found his underwear in a drawer in the kitchen.  I guess I should have been more specific on which drawer.  At least they were clean.
