Spring in Ohio

I have been feeling like a rock star mom lately. Not because I am, but just because I feel like such a better mom during the spring than I do during the winter. Is anyone else like that? I tried during the winter, but winter is hard with small kids. It's just difficult to get out and do stuff when it's so dang cold. So, we are happy to be having such a nice spring. It's rewarding being outside and being able to play and actually enjoy the weather. Since the weather is so nice in Ohio during the spring my boys and I are outside everyday. One very positive upside to that is that Baylor now takes naps, because he wears himself out playing outside. I'd like to remind you that he hasn't taken naps since November. Oh my goodness, I didn't realize how much I would appreciate nap time. We also love that Columbus has such great parks and recreation. This really is a beautiful and fun place to live. Well, we are just going to keep enjoying each other, and enjoying the spring weather and hope you do the same.

Houston's Dissappointment

Brody and I were having a delightful conversation before the Lakers vs. Rockets game this afternoon. Brody said to me, "If the Rockets beat the Laker we will move to Houston, and not only that, but we will live there until I retire." He also said, he would then become a Rockets, Astros, and Texans fan for life. These quotes were like music to my ears. Now I just needed the Rockets to win. But, what did the Rockets go and do? They lost. Not only did they lose, but they lost big time and played horribly. I felt like they crushed my dreams. I just keep reminding Brody that he never said he wouldn't move to Houston if they didn't win, so I still have a chance.

Here are some pictures of my kids. They have nothing to do with the story but what can I say, I like my boys.

Time Out

I'm off to Time Out today. Unlike this cute little munchkin I am not being punished and needing to sit in the corner. Although, I wouldn't mind that. I think it would be great to have a break and go into a corner and sit on my behind from time to time. I also think toddlers have it made when it comes to taking naps. I would pay someone money if they told me to go to sleep in the middle of the day. But anyways, Time Out is a woman's conference I am attending. Me and a group of 18 gals are on our way to Cincinnati this afternoon. We are going to enjoy shopping at the outlets, Ikea, eating out and then having a slumber party tonight. The conference is Saturday and should be a great session. Thanks to my hubby for being willing to stay home and watch the kids so I can enjoy this. I love ya babe!

Percy & Thomas Conversation

I'm attempting to potty train Baylor right now. It is very frustrating. I won't even go there, but I just wanted to post a conversation I heard Baylor making his toys have.

Percy: "Hey Thomas, let's go pee pee on the toilet."
Thomas: "No, I don't want to."
Percy: "If you don't go potty on the toilet then you will be yucky and wet."
Thomas: "No, I don't want to."

Yep, even Thomas can be a rebellious little stinker when it comes to potty training. I guess I'll have to find Baylor another potty training role model.
