Tuff found the Christmas tree TP'd one morning and Snitch was hanging from some of the toilet paper. Tuff thought it was pretty funny. He came in to wake me up and was pulling my arm trying to get me out of bed so he could show me just what Snitch had done.
Tuff had his Christmas party at school yesterday. Seems like he had a blast. They drew names in his class and exchanged $10 gifts. He got a CARS toy that talks and moves. And I'm not lying when I tell ya'll he slept with it last night! :)
When I got there to pick him up, he had a gift for me and Daddy. When I opened it, I found a sweet little ornament with his name and hand print.
LOVE it.
We also got a Christmas magnet with his picture.
(He always has a new magnet for every Holiday)
They also made snowman shirts! Tuff wore his to MeMe and Papa's today!
How stinkin cute!!!
I had to make more (and different) Christmas cards this morning. Why? Because I didn't order enough from Shutterfly last week. And I was stressing over not sending to people that I would originally send to. I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I ordered 25. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get more of the original card but since they have to be mailed to me... I was afraid I wouldn't get them and get them mailed out in time. So I used snap fish and had them sent to Wal-Mart so I could pick them up today in one hour photo center. I love this card just as much so I guess it's ok. Right? Or am I crazy? HA! Oh well. This way, I won't have to feel guilty about not sending everyone a card. I'll show it off when I get them mailed out.
My friend Anita came over and took Gunner's 3 month pictures yesterday. Nothing like waiting until the last minute (he is 4 months old today). He was SUCH a little ham the whole time. The kid LOVES the camera. Oh heck what am I talking about? He LOVES anyone or anything that's in his face giving him attention. SO much different than his big brother... Anyways, she got some good ones. She actually texted me last night and said they were ALL good. Can't wait to see them and really can't wait to share them! :) Also, I should have his 4 month stats and post up on Monday some time. Can't believe he's already 4 months old. Time is just a flying on by. Now it's time to start sleeping through the night. (yeah right, mom)
We don't have any big plans for the weekend. There's alot of things we need to be doing. Like taking the boys to see Santa and starting our Christmas shopping- yes we have not bought ONE gift yet. Tonight we are headed to Manchester to watch our nephew play basketball. It's not ideal for us to take both boys to an away game but it seems like all the home games are on Tuesday's this year and Jordan can't go to any games on Tuesday's because he works nights. So since Manchester isn't too far from home, we're headed to Manchester.
Read my mom's blog post last night about my Nana. I've been feeling A LOT like she has since my Nana's passing. Especially since it's Christmas time. I'm still thinking of her daily. I know it's not a bad thing but I think alot of that has to do with the guilt I'm carrying. If ya'll don't mind, please keep us in your prayers this holiday season. This will be our first Christmas ever without her and we will be missing her.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Thankful it's Friday!!!
Love his snowman shirt! They did so good!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! So glad you found my blog. I don't feel like I have a lot of readers (or readers who comment)so it's always nice to have comments!
ReplyDeleteI used Lora Jensen's 3 day potty training that you get online. I started it this summer (since I am off in the summers thought that would be the best time)and Landon was 2 1/2. I did the sticker chart. I found one online for potty training and of course we would do a celebration dance after each time. Once he filled the chart he got a new car/toy of some sort. With Landon he didn't really like the potty chair so he just used the regular toilet and he actually preferred standing right off the bat.
With this method I learned that telling them to tell you when they have to go is the biggest thing. Don't ask them if they have to go. It was very obvious that Landon understood the feeling of having to go right away in this whole process.
I definitely recommend getting her ebook b/c it does work...and it's fast! Now we did keep him in pull-ups at night but I think it was more for me. I didn't want to wake up and deal with a wet bed even though he always woke up dry. My husband finally made me stop using them and Landon has been in underwear 24/7 for quite some time now. BUT the only thing is Landon will not go #2 in the toilet. He goes in his underwear. Not sure when he'll get that one figured out. He did good for about a week and then just lost it. I guess I'll be washing out underwear and changing diapers here soon!
Good luck and I hope this helps. Your boys are precious. I do love having a boy and I know the new baby boy will be just as wonderful. Boys definitely love their mommas and make us feel special. :)
Glad you stopped by and I'll definitely keep up with your blog now. And I am still not good with all this blogging stuff so wasn't sure how to comment you back. That is why I commented on this post! I'll learn some day.
What a cute idea for Snitch! I bet tuff loves seeing what he's up to every morning. I read your moms post...it brought a tear to my eyes. I'll keep y'all in my thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see Gunner's pics!
