It's a Monday

And that means my tummy is complaining more then ever because I've stuffed myself over the weekend. This is a regular monday morning thing - not just after Thanksgiving, unfortunately. also a reason why I've gained a few more pounds...no wait, that IS because of Thanksgiving. lame. Not thankful for that, I'll tell you.

The kids have been on a later schedule with the holiday, and have been going to bed around 10:00. I know. It's terrible. I am not a fan of it either. But it also means they don't wake up until after 9:00, so that's kind of a perk? This morning as I was quietly editing as to not wake up my kids, I suddenly heard Grace's Primary CD turn on in her room. I heard "I Am A Child of God" start  playing and then this cute little groggy voice sang along with it, with a yawn here and there as well. She stayed in her room singing primary songs for about 20 mionutes before she decided to come out for breakfast. Cute, cute girl.

Rocky decided to get potty trained today. I was planning on decorating for christmas, and though I will still attempt, it will take much longer, as Rocky constantly thinks he needs to go pee. He has had 2 accidents this morning, and has gone pee in the toilet twice...and has sat on the toilet at LEAST 20 times in the last hour. It's going to be a long day. I only had a 6 pack of underwear for him because I hadn't prepared for the big training day yet. But he woke up and said "need go potty, mom." So I figured we better do it if he wants to do it, even I am not ready yet. haha.  Grace said that once he was out of his underwear, he could wear some of hers. As unfortunate as that may be, we just might have to take her up on her offer until we can go to the store.

Also, just in the time that I typed that paragraph I took Rocky to the toilet 4 times. Sheesh.

Grace is upset that our Christmas tree is not just like "Josh and Shannan's" upstairs (our neighbors.) They have this awesome pre-decorated tree that has all sorts of cool things on it - ours just has lights and balls. fairly simple. Grace is disappointed. We haven't set it up yet, I just told her that was what it looked like. I think she will like it once it's set up. And she'll especially like it once it has presents with her name under it.

Well, Rocky has sat on the toilet twice for that paragraph. I think I need to give up on getting anything done and just hang out with the lil bugger today.

Happy Monday!

We started potty training Phebe this weekend. One day she went 24 times. I'm not even kidding--we put a sticker on a paper every time she went. I think today was the first time I was actually glad to leave her and go to work. :) Good luck!!

Ah, that is so cute. I wish Joseph would even go. He can hang out in under wear hours on end with nothing. And definitely doesn't say he needs to go.

Yay! I hope it goes well with him! Sam has peed in the potty three times but I haven't dared trying to train him yet... Amy just moved, my brother is moving (which means I'll have the twins for a little if you want a play date), and my parents are moving... plus everything else! Jeesh!

I love your pictures! I sure miss you! It's fun to read your blog. Maybe I will actually start blogging again, though I have never made it a priority, so it's not gonna happen unless I do! Ha ha! Love you!
