Rodeo Day at the school happens once a year and it was so cool. The boys were dressed in their boots, hats and best Cowboy gear. Families were invited so Caleb got to participate in everything! Their were Pony Rides, Petting zoo, digging/panning for gold in the sandbox, face painting, square dancing, Hotdogs and more. It was a great time. As you can imagine the pony rides were the big hit but the whole day was a blast and the boys were exhausted by the time we got home that afternoon. It was also Caleb's first diaper free outing and with no accidents I declared SUCCESS. The big excitement for the day was that during the pony ride (parents were not walking around on holding on to the kids) Braydon's pony did a big shake and he held on! One of the dads almost dove to the ground in expectation of him falling but he held tight and laughed when he got off. No crying and he was definately not detured from his next ride. Way to go B! The boys also got to keep the nuggets of gold they found in the sand and it has created hours of fun back here at home. They have re-planted the gold in their sandbox and somehow it is Magic every time a piece is found.
Oh, we also sold a few Golfballapolooza tickets...thanks Mom and Dad.
So, now to the subject of potty training.....I guess in the long run 7days was not bad but 7days felt like 25 and "not bad" translated to misery at the time. But we are 3-4days from when I declared him "trained" and he is doing great. We have had two accidents one that was completely my fault. He told me he needed to go but I waited too long to get off the computer/skype with Jess so we had an accident. The other time was during a playdate and he didn't want to have to come inside. Once he found out I would let him go on a rock he was more that satisfied with that option and was accident free the rest of the day. We have been out and about for the last two days with no accidents so HURRAY! we survived! thank you
to everyone who lent advice it was a compilation of all yalls techniques that got us there...peeing in a cup, peeing outside on rocks, going every 30min, and of course the lovely but falsely guiding book 3Days Potty Training.
We had some friends from our Library group around this Friday and had so much fun. The kids got along great so we will be repeating that again soon. B was so excited to have friends back at his house (it was the first time since we moved here). Saturday we had a family over from B's school and it was another playdate success. Rob and I had a great time with the parents we ended up grilling and they stayed most the day. We finished Saturday off with a night out, we had friends in town from Dallas. It was great to see them and a treat to get out on the town again. We also discovered a Jem of a restaurant right in Old Town that we will have to take everyone to when the come in. Food was AMAZING!!!! and no I am not just saying that cause I am pregnant :).
We spent today at the pool with the Dallas friends again...yeah sorry all you 20below people out there. It was 75 and perfect today. The kids fed the fish at that hotel, chased Rabbits around the lawn and through Bocce Balls with their dad and the guys.
Just one more week before GiGi gets in town so the evening count down is on with the boys. Every night before bed they count back to know how many more days they have to wait for her to get here.
Sorry we don't have a lot of new pics, with all the events of the week there is no excuse! I just forgot my camera EVERYWHERE we went. I can assure you all though that the boys are as cute as ever and growing like little weeds. Caleb has slept till 9am two times this week and they are both putting food down at a very impressive pace....we will need to go up a size in clothes soon.
Baby Austin....no real news. He is still jumping around letting us know that it will not be easy when he gets here. Another apt on the 9th so update you all more then.
Miss you guys and love you.
