Spontaneous Cedar Point Event

-
About a week ago Bob had to travel up to Michigan for work, so I am always looking for something to do to keep the boys busy. At the end of the school day on Tuesday, Matt came to my room and told us all about the FREE trick or treat event at Cedar Point.  Count us in!!  We ran home, ate dinner, grabbed costumes and headed out.  To our surprise Maw Maw was waiting to see us at the house.  She got to come with us and this was so helpful for me with the boys by myself.  Carter is a lion, Landon a hotdog, and that night Nolan wanted to be a shark.  When we arrived the parking lot was quickly filling up.  We ended up waiting in line for over an hour but the kids were very well behaved.  
All the kids dressed up: Landon(hotdog), Ben (superman), Carter (lion), Lilly (super girl), and Nolan

While waiting in this long line in the middle of the parking lot, Nolan had to pee.  What's a mom to do???? So I tried to make it as discreet as possible but I had him pee into this Halloween treat bucket.  Of course he was peeing forever and the line started to move and people were passing us by.  When he was finished I had to carry it around until we made it to a drain and I poured it down the drain and wiped out the bucket with his sweatshirt. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Businesses in Sandusky had tables set up within the Cedar Point Park and the kids got to trick or treating. I was impressed by how organized it really was they had all the halloween decorations out for everyone to see.




Once we got home I opened the door and this is what I found.  Three sticky, sleeping boys!!! It was so much fun!  I love spontaneous activities!

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...
