More Spring Break fun

-
Since this past week was spring break vacation for the Chelsea Schools, that meant no preschool for Carter and no PAT for me so we decided to stay down with Aunt D. This meant fun, fun, fun! Maw Maw decided to try another project with the boys. This time it was making chocolate race car pretzel rods.  Bless my mom's heart she tries so hard to find fun things to do with the boys and some how it always turns out harder than you think.
Maw Maw rereads the directions to make sure she knows what she is doing.

The boys put the chocolate melts in the squeeze bottle.  Both of the squeeze bottles melted in the microwave.

The boys squeezed as hard as they could to get just a little bit of chocolate into the mold.
The end product didn't look like it should but the boys didn't mind because they tasted yummy!

Another idea that turned out to be a flop was an idea I saw on pinterest.  It was a glow in the dark Easter egg bath.  You put glow sticks inside eggs to float in the water.  I could not get the glow bracelets to stay in the eggs without popping apart so we just made them into bracelets and tossed them into the bath with the kids.  It was pretty cool and they had a great time.

Everyone doing the "clean plate" dance at lunch!

This picture is so funny because the boys would race their monster trucks through the kitchen and living room.  While Adelynn had lunch she would SQUEAL as they came by her!  This is her squealing in her high chair.  When she was down she would giggle and chase the boys and their monster trucks!

Maw Maw reads the kids their favorite books...Pete the Cat!

These last photos are just priceless with the kids!  Catching a moment when everyone is looking and smiling is almost impossible.
The last picture of two prego sisters!  It has been fun watching our bumps grow together!  

Cuddles...they all light up when they get together!

One proud Maw Maw...she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of two more grandkids.

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat! There is just something so cute about seein

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home for Florida to se

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited about this and often begs Landon to go potty so he
