I figured it's pretty bad when Adam tells me that it's been a long time since I updated the blog, becuase he never reads it and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know the blog address. He noticed the other night while I was reading other people's blogs. So here we go! Lucky for you, our live's have only been mildly eventful, so this wont be a huge blog overload!
In a nutshell, we've mostly just been working a lot, and Adam is just finishing up the semester of school next week! HOORAY! In my time at home when I'm not working, I have been finding super grocery deals which are like drugs... so addictive! And working on getting ready for Griffin. (coming in 5 weeks!!)
We are still working on potty training... Deegan has decided in the last couple of days that he prefers the big potty though... I guess that's a step forward!
Spring is playing tricks on us this year... Every time we have a nice sunny day and I break out the Capris, the next day we wake up to this...
Today is no exception. I wore short sleeves 2 days ago and played outside, now I am inside watching the snow pile up again! Hopefully it will clear up before Easter though.
Deegan got his own "Big Boy Bed" which he LOVES... There are drawers on the sides for his toys, and he loves to help clean up now! Hooray!
We are also working on learning to be nice... Normally he is a pretty nice kid, but when he gets mad the first thing he does is start hitting. So, time out is becoming more regular at our house.
Deegan had the opportunity to "model" for the new Garanimals (Walmart's line) toys that will be out this fall. I don't have the finalized pics yet, but I could see them on the computer while the photographer was taking them and they were AWESOME! I can't wait to see the finals. Anyway, it was a lot of fun for both of us. He was so good to just do what ever they asked- most of which was just to play, but when they needed the toy held up, he held it up; when they needed him to face left, he faced left. The only trouble we had was that they told him to knock over the big blow up bop-it toy (You know the kind that have a weighted bottom and don't fall down?), he would just tackle it or pick it and and throw it...! :-) He's just not a gentle kid I guess!
After we finished, they let him pick out a toy to take home (not one of the new ones, but still a fun one for him)
He was so excited about his pictures and talked for a couple of days about taking pictures.
Last but not least, we found an AWESOME deal on a new car. It's a 2003 Toyota 4 Runner with only 71K miles. The last owner took REALLY good care of it, so it is really nice and clean inside (we even saw it before the detailers cleaned it)! We traded Adam's 2 seater truck for this one, which was bitter sweet because now we don't have the truck for working and hauling, but this will fit all 4 of us!
How's that for Car Salesman service? (This is our friend Josh who sold us the car).
