Let's face it, he just doesn't care

So, We're trying to potty train the 2nd born. Fafa is quite the stubborn little boy and will not be moved by anything. I find myself throwing rewards at him like he's just won the lottery... 'how about a ring pop, or a new Transformer....oh, and I'll even buy one for Nubbin. Monkey Joe's? remote control car?'

Alas, he told me today that he would try 'later'... when pressed for a time frame for later, he remarked that he didn't know what later meant but maybe tomorrow. I give up. Let him wear diapers.

No, I didn't fall into a big black hole

Sorry for the lack of posts, but my camera died (i.e. I dropped it) and so I borrowed my old camera from my brother only to find out that it doesn't work in anything but the computer that got attacked by a virus. Flimsy excuses, I know. But, soon I will be back on track.

So many pictures and so little time to post... such is the life with a 3 and 4 year old and a husband and a hamster...

Pulling wheelies

Husband broke his foot over the weekend by falling down the stairs. He thought it was just sprained, but when he couldn't walk on it the next day, he had it checked out by our family doctor. The doctor just happens to also be a sports medicine practice and Husband came home in a cast up to his knee and crutches.

Crutches are a lot harder to use than he thought and yesterday, I rented a wheelchair. The kids have had fun pushing him around in it. Nubbin is quite good at navigating the kitchen obstacles while Fafa just kept running him into the refrigerator. Hope this isn't a foretelling of how they will drive a car.

Morning facial

There is a reason why I don't give Fafa a lot of yogurt for breakfast. It usually ends up all over his face instead in his stomach.

His answer when I asked him why he did it was something along the lines of 'I painting, momma.' At least I didn't squelch his creativity :)

How long do I have to hold this?

The boys got to pick out their own pumpkins this year and I told them they could pick out any pumpkin just as long as they could carry it. Needless to say, Fafa almost dropped his, but was determined to make sure it was as big as Nubbin's.

Sweet dreams

Fafa got his new big kid bed. Thank you Grandma for the bed frame! He was pretty eager the first day, but has since reverted to his crib. He explained yesterday that he still wants his paci... no paci's in the big boy bed. 'I still a baby, momma!'

He decided he wanted a Transformer blanket and notice he's wide awake. Still getting used to it. bye, bye crib!... eventually.

our fearless leaders... the flag is for waving at the guy in the tower if we get lost... needless to say, we waved it a lot

Fafa wanted to pick the corn instead of walk through it
