The Easter bunny and so much more

-
Since we were in Columbus for the easter egg hunt my sister decided to host Easter at her house.  This was great because it will be the last chance before the new baby arrives to get the whole family together. We took advantage of every moment together.  We visited the local park where the boys loved playing outside by the water and mud.

Next we went back to get dinner ready and the boys helped to make Easter Scotcheroo's!  They were so yummy!



The finished product...Grandma Grocho smiles in the background as she has watched the boys lick the chocolate off their fingers as they decorate dessert.

The boys have a slight obsession with "Mario Kart" for the Wii and Uncle Edd has it so they were more than excited to play.  Needless to say, the Boone household will not be getting a gaming system anytime soon.  Adelynn loved to watch the boys play.

I could just kiss that face off!

Then we took some time to color eggs.  There is really not an easy way of doing this fun project without getting covered in dye.  I held my breath because we were at Aunt D's house and the thought of creating a mess at her house made me nervous.  Maw Maw had a brilliant idea of putting the dye in a baggie, letting the boys drop in the egg, and then shaking the bag until the egg was covered.  This was pure genius because as you can see from the photo their fingers were all different colors.


The Easter Bunny Arrives!
We woke up early Easter morning to find "bunny tracks" on the deck outside.  I saw this idea on pinterest and believe me it looked better when they did it but it got the point across.

Killer shades they found in their baskets!

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!

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 ...

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 a...
