Potty Training Day 3

Well the first two days of potty training we were home all day so if Alan had an accident we just clean it up and went on with our day. Today, however, we had to run errands and in the evening we had a retirement party to attend. I didn't stress long before I realized I could just put the whole potty, a towel, and some extra clothes right in the van. So each time we were getting in the van we sat on the potty chair. He didn't go the whole time we ran errands, but we had no accidents. This afternoon he peed and pooped in the potty before we headed out to the party. We attempted to use the big potty at the party, but I think he felt like he was going to fall in so he asked to go in the van. He went potty in the potty chair in the back of the van. I watered some weeds and we went back to the party. Ironically we received a potty training sticker chart in the mail from pampers today and he was just as excited about writing his name and hanging that in the bathroom as he was about the fruity tootsie rolls!! Big milestone today of 24hrs accident free. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as only time will tell before he is completely potty trained.

New House Pictures

I posted pictures of the new house on Picasa today.  You can click  HERE  to see them.  We unloaded 12,000lbs and returned the truck today.  Daniel reports to work at 6:30am and the boys and I will be cleaning, unpacking and sorting.  They are scheduled to deliver the appliances and install the security system as well.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Raingutter Regatta

This year Alan is a Tiger Cub in scouts!! Yesterday we had our first big scouting event, the Raingutter Regatta. The boys sand and paint their own boats and race them down a raingutter filled with water. They blow behind their sails through a straw to make the boats go. Eddie is having a rough time feeling left out because you have to be in first grade to be a scout. We got him a kit to build the boat with Alan to be a pretend scout. Here Eddie and Alan are doing the sanding. Alan is doing more sanding here. Next comes the painting. Alan chose to use 3 colors which requires a lot of time waiting for paint to dry!! While we waited for the paint to dry Alan decorated his sail with some retired scouting stamps in Mommy's office. Here is Alan with his completed boat. He named it "The Promise" because we were learning the Cub Scout Promise on the way to the race preparing for next week's meeting. Alan and Daddy registering for the race. They let Eddie have is own pr
