Happy Birthday!

So here starts our crazy fall around our house.  Birthday after birthday after birthday.  It all begins, well with my father, then Aaron.  The boys are so into birthdays.  Everyone needs balloons, cake, candles, and a song.  On Aaron's birthday the boys picked up donuts (of course) with my mom and created their own cake for Aaron with candles and all, I really wish I had gotten a picture.  We had some friends over for dinner and ice cream cake, Aaron's all time fav.  Happy Birthday Aaron, We love you!

What We Have Been Up To

So we did it...I think.  So far so good.  Lane was showing interest in using the big boy potty so I went with it.  He was probably ready about a month ago but I wasn't.  I finally had 3 days off in a row to get the job done.  I used the 3 Day Potty Training method with Zackary and it worked great so I thought I would try it again.  And we did it!  He is doing great, just a few issues here and there but nothing major.  He tells me every time he has to go, if there is a problem it is usually my fault.  The photos are in order of each day.  1, 2, & 3.  Day 3 we were out in the street riding bikes and scooters in underwear (I know dub T) but they had fun! 
I'm so proud of him!

Cleaning

   I really wish I had a picture before this poor garage got cleaned.  I have been trying to get things in our lives organized if you recall from here.  Slowly but surely it is happening.  Between 2 busy boys, work, and life it seems to be taking much longer than I would prefer.  Once I get something in my head I have to do it (I know I am impulsive) and I hate when I don't have the time or energy to tackle a project.  Now with baby #3 coming I really need to get the organizing in gear.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to find out what we were having but I'm in a purging mood (stems from watching Hoarders on TV).  If it is a girl, I'm ready to get rid of so much boy stuff, mostly clothes, but that entails lots of totes to be cleaned out.  A whole new project to tackle!  Now Big Blue can park in its old home.  I just need to add some storage shelves.
