Kevin really enjoyed wathcing the parade!
He likes my headbands;o)
We have been working pretty hard on potty training these last weeks before the baby comes, and to my surprise, Kevin has finally put the connectors together! We have made tremendous progress, and I think my days of buying size 5 diapers are coming to a halt for a while! He still wears them to bed, but during the day he has been such a big boy!! Persistence has definitely been the key I think. It was overwhelming and very messy at first, but now it has truly been worth the headaches. Good job Kevin!
Hooray! Any of you remember this blanket? Well, it has been almost done for a very LONG time. I finally decided to buckle down and finish it. If you click on the picture it is easier to see the letters. Very glad to have it done and out of my project basket.
Seth came home before Kevin's bedtime yesterday and so he and Kevin looked at loaders on youtube at Kevin's request (Kevin is absolutely enthralled with loaders).
This was on our way to the zoo. Kevin was a pretty good boy. He walked a lot and was almost happy to be back in his car seat on the way home. The camera batteries died so this is the only picture I was able to get:( I think the seal was his favorite. It swam back and forth and then stopped right in front of us and just stared at Kevin. He thought it was so neat!
Hee! Kevin has watched me do this a few times.
Today has just been one of those days from the moment I woke up. My dear child pulled a folded bag of chips off the counter - from the bottom - and started shaking it over the carpet, he then progressed to dropping one of his cars in the toilet, filling his training pants both ways if you know what I mean, and while that mess was being taken care of, there was this big cricket that appeared out of nowhere that I had to kill for fear of excessive chirping in the middle of the night, so I leave Kevin on the toilet to go find a shoe. When I come back to help him down he decides to aim and fire right on my skirt. Trying to praise my son for going potty on the potty chair while trying to contain my "gggrrr" over my wet skirt (clothes being scarce in my fat condition) was a challenge. Maybe now after all these incidents things would be back to normal. Ha! They were. He dropped his wooden truck that has been glued in a different spot for the umpteenth time and broke the top off. I could go on with several more "happenings"; all this to say that it has actually been a good day. I Thessalonians 5:16-18 kept coming to mind which was such a tremendous blessing and help to me. "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." There were so many times this morning when I wanted to "erupt" but after meditating on these verses I was instantly challenged and put in my place. My day is not about me, but about the One who made me. This is His will for me. How am I going to respond?
As I was sitting to fold another load of laundry, my kind young brother-in-law, Levi, brought me my mail along with these lovely wild flowers from the pasture. How thoughtful!

I thought the bagpipes were neat.
Here comes Riverdale! Seth was able to sit and watch the parade with us instead of having to drive in it! How nice to have employees! Their grinder looked pretty impressive trucking through the parade.
This is one of their chip trucks and trailers.

Seth had to make a run to look at a job site, so he invited me along and took me out for a nice supper. We had a good time talking and just being together.
Some of the decor at the restaraunt we went to.
Before Seth came to get me, Kevin and I had fun playing and taking pictures.
(He didn't want me to give him a kiss;o)
