A few good things

A few great things that are happening around this house these days.

 

1. Thank you

The boys have usually been good with the use of the word, "Thank you."  This morning as I held the door open for them to enter Northeast, they both said, "Thank you Mom."  Like it was just so second nature.  It made me feel like I was doing something right.

 

2. Blue cheese chips

Trying to get back onto the wagon of cooking and preparing new meals....really....at this point almost anything is new.  I decided to make sweet potato chips (not new) and then I melted on some blue cheese.  Oh holy moly.  I have had them TWICE this week for meals.  And when you just eat chips for your meal....you think you can eat a LOT.

 

3. Top Chef

Enough said.  First episode is rolling right now as I type.

 

4. Cameron's Imagination

This little boy plays pretend ALL day.  He is usually some type of animal, monster, or dinosaur.  If he is playing dress up or is hiding his face he quickly takes off the mask and says, "Don't worry mommy, it's just me.  It's just pretend."  Some of the thing that this kid comes up with is HILARIOUS.

 

5. Friday

It has been a rough week.  The lack of sleep, potty training, and thought of another week with no partner or no break has been weighing on me.  I am not feeling sorry for myself anymore (sorry to vent earlier this week) but it has just been a little rough.  One of the pictures belows shows the bathroom overflowing.  Owen, being the helpful son that he is....tried to help by cleaning out one of the little potties (I think that is what he was doing). Well in the process he turned the water on, closed the sink drain, shut the bathroom door, and walked away.  A good few minutes later he said, "Mommy, there is water on the floor."  Yes.....lots of water....everywhere.  Within the hour he somehow put enough toilet paper in the toilet that it also flooded.  At least he is good at letting me know that water is coming out of the bathroom!!
