Mari & Issy and their missing teeth

Future band?

Our ”praising” kids with their tinker toy microphones.  Here they are singing “Waves of Mercy”, they also sang  ”How Great is our God” and “Our God is an Great God” and others:)

I had Tobin put shorts on for the picture, he’s doing pretty good-1 accident yesterday and 1 so far today.

Fresh salad

Last night, I picked a huge bowl of lettuce, our first carrot, first tomatoes & first onion-yummy!

Mari wanted to eat the carrot and wouldn’t let me cut the green stuff off.

Tuesday's fun

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago at 1:45 pm.

We started out with a trip to the park, it’s the first one we’ve been to since before camp-it’s nice to have everyone healthy again.  Amy was there with her 4 kids and had brough a ladybug rock (her & Jane painted the day before) and they played “hide the ladybug”-a Family Fun thing.  They had a lot of fun with that.

What is it about boys & dirt?

The swingers & flippers

Then we went to Karen’s house, she made me salad for lunch, I had taken Riley to the park so she could get a little cleaning done.  And, then we went to the library for a “unicycle” program-the kids, especially Ezra loved it.

Newsflash-Tobin poo'd on the potty

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago at 7:15 am.

We are on day 3 of potty training with moderate success, he’s been pee’ing for months but the poo is a different story, on Tuesday I threw out a pair of underwear at my friend Karen’s house because they were so bad.  This morning he was running around naked (it’s my prefered method) and had already gone pee when he ran by me into the bathroom, after a couple minutes I asked Mari if he was peeing again(she was at a vantage point to see). She ran in there and yells “he pooped and it wasn’t me because I just pee’d and I flushed the toilet” (in a long excited sentence).  I ran in there expecting a tiny peeble but there was a lot!  I still wasn’t certain, it seemed too good to be true but the “wipe” was the final evidence to confirm it was indeed his.  Tobin says “now we can go get ice cream!”, yes we bribe in this house.   We’re all thrilled, could my last one really be this easy??
