And they're off!

Well, mom and dad decided very last minute to get away for a week. Dad had some vacation to burn and he deserved it as he has been working that outage for like 2 months at least (7 days a week/10 hours a day or more!!). So they packed up their car and headed west to Wyoming! They are going to go visit my dad's Uncle John Sackman. They will have a good time and I think they are so far...mom is having fun taking pics with her cell phone and texting them to Christy & I. It is cute. They seem to be more relaxed already...with the exception of mom forgetting her bathroom bag with all her meds in it! Oops! We were going to overnight it but the pharmacy was able to hook her up at a pharmacy out there so she was able to get by on that and just purchase the other toiletry items she needed.

Christy is staying at the house with me so the boys and I aren't alone at night, etc. Not that I am scared but I like the company.

We made lunch today, pork chops, corn on the cob, potatoes, potato salad, & beans! I grilled the pork chops and Christy got the other stuff ready. It was DELICIOUS! I have a thing for grilling! I can't get enough of it. So much so, that I even moved dad's grill up by the house again so I don't have to travel so far to use it! :-)

Other than that, nothing much new to report, just felt like updating. OH, well, Decovin has now peed in the potty a few times! Now, if I could just get him to tell me when he needs to poop, we will be on a roll! I need to get in the habit of asking him if he needs to go and pop him on the toilet every hour or so! Just gets tiresome and annoying with diapers...need to go purchase some pull-ups I think. Easier. I'm all about easier. haha!

Love to all! Can't wait for some new updates!

Wow. It's like living inside a 7 UP can...

Jen - Just an FYI on potty training... to each their own, but nothing works best like real underwear w/ a plastic liner over it to avoid spillage on anything. Pull-ups are too much like a diaper.

Thanks Darlene! I have heard that and I will probably try that method at home (where do you find the plastic liner things?) but when we go out and about I will probably use the pull ups so as to avoid an entire outfit/underwear change. :-)

Yes, very good idea! We found the liners at both Wal-Mart & Target. Sometimes you have to hunt for them, but if you ask, someone should be able to help you.
