keep looking, keep looking

So I usually tell the kids to look away from the tv when a commercial for a scary movie comes on.  Jeremiah's on spring break this week & it was during the late morning so I was completely caught off guard.  I wasn't really paying attention to what they were playing but out of nowhere I hear Jeremiah talking to Emma... "keep looking, keep looking, keep looking..."  I look up & there's a commercial for a scary movie on the tv so I say, "Jeremiah!" He stops, then looks at Em & says, all sinister, "Now you're gonna have bad dreams"  GAH! How mean! They both pray every night that they don't have bad dreams so I gave him the "do you want someone to do that to you" speech.  It must be the older sibling syndrome...always mean to the younger ones! (yes, I'm a younger one so I know what I'm talking about. haha)  Poor Em. Hope she doesn't do that to the baby.

We're diaper free!...for a little while at least!

Haven't been here for a while, sad to say..but you gotta start again somewhere! I don't know if it's just easier to log on to FB, but I tend to put everything on there rather than here.  I know I said before that I'd start putting everything on my blog, but just like everyone else I tend to go for the quick & easy route most of the time.  

Anyway, new news, we're expecting again!  We were on the fence about having a 3rd child and I swear Jenner & I talked about it almost everyday.  One day would be, "ya, let's have another one!", the next day would be, "I don't know, should we?"  However, looking back, we never once said a definite NO, so I guess we were just waiting for God to give us our answer :)  We are all definitely excited!

Other exciting stuff happened recently and today confirmed it!  We, or should I say I, finally got my 3yo, Em fully potty trained!  I don't know why I had such a hard time.  Everyone said that girls were easier, but I had a way easier time with Jeremiah.  Maybe I secretly didn't want my little Em to grow up...BUT, diapers/pull-ups were becoming a pain in the patootie!  Anyway, she's been able to go #1 for at least 2 weeks now, but #2 was still not making it to the toilet.  Today, however, I am proud to say a #2 has made it to the toilet and my Em is officially toilet trained!!!  Now I can go buy her those princess panties I promised her! :)  She's gonna be excited. I can't wait to see the look on her face! I'm gonna enjoy this diaper free time cause come Oct/Nov it's back to diapers for at least 2-3 years. lol
