A Weekend of Firsts!

This weekend was full of firsts. My little man had his first skating party. I was so excited since I was going to be the one to take him. I haven't skated since college and I was up for the challenge. But, I guess I wasn't thinking about how difficult it might be teaching a rather large for his age 5 year old. We get there put on the skates and within ten minutes I was reminded of the time I took his daddy skiing for the first time. There was alot of falling, throwing his head back, and yelling at me. Let's just say he made it about half way through the party on skates, then we resolved to running around the rink with our crocs on:)

The second first was Bo-Bo went to the potty!!!!!!

The last first for the weekend happened last night. I was putting up laundry when I walked into Sunshine's room and found her and her daddy having a tea party! I am so certain that was his first! I think my heart is still a puddle in the floor of her room:

Boys and Potty Words

Why do boys insist on saying, what we call in our house, "Potty Words?" My little Bo-Bo has gotten in a habit of asking me daily if he can say "Poopie, Poopie Pants, etc." So today was no exception... He came to me morning and said, "can I say Poopie?" I then said, "No, Bo-Bo we don't say potty words." He then said, "yes I can. I say Poopie and Poopie Pants." I then said it again "Bo-Bo those are potty words and we try no to say them." Totally frustrated that he didn't have the freedom to talk about those things, he took a deep breath and yelled "I want to say stink words!" Thank God for Boys!

Little Sunshine

Little Sunshine is dressed for church. For this dress I used the round neck dress pattern from "That Darn Cat." I dedicate this one to Shelly... Thanks girl:)

Daddy Discipline

The boys were arguing with one another and Daddy had heard enough. He looked at the boys and simply said "put your shoes on we are going outside." He then did what he had heard his Paw had done in years past. He made them stand and hug at the end of the driveway, waving at the cars that past by. Love it:)

Box Day!

In homeschool world "Box Day" is the day your curriculum comes. My big boy is so excited to start Kindergarten. He is most excited about Science. I am thankful that God has blessed us with fun things to learn about this year.

Happy Birthday Momma!

Who says you can't have cake for breakfast!

My favorite dress as of today:)

This is my favorite dress as of today. I have just a few more things to do on what I think will be my new favorite dress. Stay-tuned... I am sure Ms. Priss will wear it on Sunday!

These are our greatest blessings in life. I can't believe I actually got a decent picture of all of them.
