Pics from this week

On Sunday we had a little get together with Mike's family to celebrate Lauren's 11th birthday. I still wasn't feeling my best but I pulled it off. Lauren wanted a different kind of cake this year....a chocolate chip cookie cake. I decided that I could bake it myself and I did. It turned out pretty dang good if I say so myself. I made my buttercream icing for the decoration.

































Uncle Gary and Aunt Melisa's gift came in the mail for the boys on Thursday. I made the mistake of unwrapping it for them and then I was on the hook to put it together.
It first started off with a temper tantrum (not from me)

















Then I finally got it together after about an hour...I had sooo much help!

















And to end this post with some hope for me...boys in underwear! I'm not potty training the boys very seriously at this point, but Ian had a diaper change before bed last night and had asked to wear underwear!! By all means....then all the boys wanted underwear. Phase 1 completed. Travis and Ian wore underwear this morning and both had accidents (totally expected) even after asking a million times if they had to go potty and sitting on the potty just as many times. So what I learned today is that I think I'm going to have to potty train one at a time or have two other people to help so that we can have 1:1 odds. There is no way that I can potty train all three by myself.
