Indeed. Potty Training in 2010 is our New Year’s Resolution.
Thanks to Ikea $3.99 Potty Chairs (special delivery via this cool chick). Ask her how many I had her purchase for me. I’m too embarrassed to say.
Any volunteers to potty train 4 almost 3 year old boys? Any takers? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Didn’t think so.
Wish us luck. Better yet, PRAY! =)
As I’m typing this the tree is being boxed up and shoved into a corner of the garage for another 11 months (while the quads are sleeping, mind you). And I can’t help but feel the mixture of emotions that goes along with packing up Christmas. Glad to declutter, put things back in their place, get back to a routine, yet sad to say goodbye to the visual reminders of my favorite Christmas of all.
My memory is a collage of little moments along the way…
Decorating the Tree with the Boys (and breaking a few decorations in the process)
Watching Their Little Eyes Light Up as They Really Took Christmas In for the 1st Time
Singing Away in the Manger with the Boys Before Bed
Driving Around Neighborhoods Looking at Lights (And Laughing at How Brooks and Clark Were Scared of The Flashing House with Music)
Celebrating with My Family at My Parents House
Receiving Christmas Cards from Family and Friends
Wrapping Gifts Late into the Night
Being Blessed by Other Peoples Kindness
Bundling Up and Making a Trip Downtown
Watching the Boys “Sing” in Their First Christmas Program
Making Some Yummy Holiday Food
Spending Christmas Eve with Brad’s Family
Soaking Up Time with Family That We Don’t See Nearly Enough
Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus
Watching Their Excited Fingers Open Presents
Watching My Boys Bring Others Joy
It Truly was a Magical, Magnificent, Memorable Christmas!
(And I’m probably not through blogging about it!)
I’m sporting this T-shirt today, because you guessed we are STAYING IN for NYE (New Year’s Eve). I’m totally okay with it because we are having Brad’s sister and husband and his sister and husband (that’s a mouth full!) over for some chowing, chatting, and chiming in the New Year.
What are YOU doing New Year’s?
Does it involve GOING OUT or STAYING IN?
If you’re GOING OUT share your plans with us, so those of us who are staying in can somehow justify how we are “cooler” for staying put. =)
If you’re STAYING IN what’s on your menu? What kinds of things do you do to entertain your family or guests?
Why did you pick one over the other?
