Potty training... an update... or a non-update...

If you will recall, CJ took it upon herself to begin potty training.
She was doing really well but has taken a mild break.
I can't be upset over it... she IS only 17 months for goodness sakes.


But just when you think the potty training door has closed, she surprises you.
Like today.
We were at our Tuesday morning playdate when she announced she had to use the bathroom.
And boy she wasn't lying.
But I'll just leave it at that.


Miss Claudia also likes to put on her own pants.
Sometimes she decides with these cold February days that one pair of pants is not enough... two is more appropriate.
As you may have noticed in the above picture.


We've also become very fond of Scooby Doo.
And who can blame her?! I loved that show when I was little.
And judging by the above picture she has also become a fan of chocolate... or whatever food is on her face. :)

Have you noticed all the plastic on our beautiful windows?
I really don't like it.
Although it does keep us warm in the winter.

Looking at the 10 day forecast it appears we are going to have six or seven days in a row of above freezing temps. 
Good-bye snow!
And maybe, just maybe, good-bye plastic on the windows!?

I am quite literally itchy all over with spring fever.

I can't believe CJ is already potty training. I thought it was pretty good when Lincoln learned the word "potty" this month. He likes to sit on it with or without a diaper, but hasn't actually done anything. Pretty sure he has no clue what to actually do. He just wants to be like me & Emily. :o)

The double pants made me chuckle. Oh the things they come up with... and then we post on our blogs for the whole world to see.

October things...

Image
It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb ...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on ...
