Nicklaus went potty!

Nicklaus went to the bathroom in the potty today!!!

The boys decided to play in the backyard and make a pool, so they ended up naked like all little boys do when its hot outside. I asked Noah to bring me some underwear and a diaper and he came back with two pairs of underwear and told me that one was for him and the other for Nick.

So once the boys had the underwear on they went to go show Daddy.
Daddy asked Nick if he was going to start using the potty now that he was wearing big boy underwear. He said yes and off we went to the bathroom. We got up to the toilet and I asked if he wanted to sit on it. Yes again!
So I sat him down and asked if he need to go pee, sure enough he went! Started laughing and stop so then I asked him to go more pee, and so on and so on for a couple of mins.

And then he went again once before bed! I am so excited I know that it is very early to be thinking that Nicklaus could start potty training, but this is a good start on it!

Halloween Wall Hangings

So in my many Halloween project searches I came across

Craftily Ever After,

and fell in love with her Free Printable

And then decided that I wanted to make some of my own. Got on the website Picnik,

I think they are fabulous and have will have them ready to be picked up at walmart tomorrow (Didn't want to waste all my printers ink). And as soon as I find some frames to put them in I will be set to go.

Bat Masks

My little Noah is obsessed with Super heros. He wants everything to be Iron Man, Superman, Batman, Captian America. It if has a mask and/or a cape he thinks it belongs to him. So when I saw Living With Punks do her bat masks I knew that I had to make some for my little super heros.
They were so simple took me about ten minutes a mask from cutting to letting Noah put it on.
And it is now a new favorite at my house.

Bath Time

My boys favorite time of day is bathtime! Nicklaus is usually jumping in with clothes, shoes, diaper, whatever he is wearing when I annouce it is time to take a bath. They will sit in there and play for as long as I let them. And then when I tell Noah it is time to get out, almost everyday he responds with "aww man! Can we take a bath tomorrow too!??"

But sadly they never get to take a bubble bath because Nicklaus is deathly afraid of the bubbles. Hopefully sometime soon he gets over that because the best part of a bath is the bubbles and wearing bubble beards, hats and bikini tops.

Come On In

With A little help from Elm Street Life and another site that I just don't remember where/how I found it. I got the idea to make a come on in sign for all the parties and meetings I have over at my house. I LOVE the way it came out. It was a little labor intensive, and I'm not an artist in any matter of speaking but well worth it. This one I was planning on giving to my aunt but I think I am just going to have to make a different one for her. :-)
