Daddy's Birthday.

 We had a really fun day celebrating John's birthday.

When John was on the phone with Grandma Barby and Grandpa Bob they asked the kids how old John had turned, Norah said 4 and Ava guessed 61.  hahaha
Tiffani's phone takes great photos!  This is mid Cards Against Humanity, such a funny, yet so very WRONG game. 
We had Erik, Tiffani & Colton over for dinner.  We had turkey burgers with creamy feta & garic chili slaw along side roasted broccoli with a curry peanut sauce.  Yum!
The kids dinner was slightly less gourmet, cauliflower mac & cheese with peas, carrots and apples.  
 They all look pretty happy, that's what counts right?


 I love the way Norah is looking at John in this picture.

At one point the girls and I had been discussing what "we" had gotten John for his present.  John was in the garage at the time as I told them, stressing how it was a secret and we can't tell him.
 Norah jumps down from her bar stool, marches out to the garage and says "Dad, we got you a suitcase for your birthday, it is black and red."
 I had been holding the door open for her, not suspecting at all that she was going to say that, so I just let go of the door and let it slam, leaving the little deliberate secret-teller out in the garage, with her dad, that thought it was much funnier then I did...
Needless to say, he wasn't very surprised at his gift.
  I see no reason to pay for plane tickets for these kids ever again...


 They both love it in there!
What a fun day celebrating John!  We are all so blessed to have him, couldn't love or appreciate him more!! 


Happy Birthday Love!!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
