ole schnikees: 2016

Trevor: pooped on the potty 3 times on Wednesday! and went on the potty multiple times most days this week, one morning last week when I went to get him up in the morning I said my usual "anyone awake in here?" and he said "still sleeping" in a soft little voice (so funny!), he loves to jump, is getting really good at puzzles, loves to craft and play with stickers, he's finally actually coloring with crayons, he's very helpful: will buckle himself in to his seats, will turn off the tv when it's time to, likes to sweep or rake or shovel with me, he sat on the potty for half an hour one day trying to go potty so he could get an m&m,

Monday when we got home from the zoo, it was freezing in our house since i'd left the windows open (57 degrees). and it was cold and rainy until Thursday so we kept our windows shut and it warmed up and stayed pretty warm in here (good sign for winter). Monday night we got some stuff done around the house; Al got his gun cabinet downstairs and put together.

Tuesday morning trevor and I ran to joann fabric (so I could get fleece fabric to make him a warm, bigger blanket since he woke up a couple times the night before i'm assuming because he was cold) and then to aldi for groceries. it was Al's Monday so we did supper with Al then after he left for work, we did some crafts and coloring. Trevor hadn't gone potty on the potty since Saturday and wouldn't even sit on it for me on Tuesday.

Wednesday morning after breakfast, T and I walked over to Jodi's house to play until lunch time. Jodi is trying to potty train 2 littles too so after Easton and Amaya went on the potty I took Trevor in. after a while of sitting on the potty, he pooped on it! he then pooped on the potty 2 more times at home!! he's confusing me, it's either one or the other so i'm not sure which he wants to do on the potty. :) we did supper again with Al then did crafts after he left again.

Thursday we went to the apple orchard again and it was a beautiful day!!! on the way home we stopped at a couple of garage sales and found one good one with 4t boys clothes and a cool lightning McQueen rolling suit case for Trevor!

Friday morning we went for a long walk and stopped at 3 garage sales along the way then stopped at Jodi's house to play again. Friday night we raked some pine needles up until the 'squitos were too bad.

Saturday morning mom came down and we went to the uwec homecoming parade with matt and the kids. after the parade we all went to the farmer's market and then had lunch at mogies which Al met us for. after nap we had some outside time which included spying on the neighbor's who's daughter and friends were taking pictures outside for the homecoming dance. then after supper we went to the volleyball game that Jodi was coaching (college) with matt and the kids, his parents, and some other daycare friends we know. we also met up with my favorite high school math teacher, Debbie and her daughter Sam who goes to eau Claire now as Sam is going to babysit for us! Trevor ran around the whole time at the volleyball game and his face was beet red! he loved it. when we got home, mom did bedtime duties with T while I met my good friend Trina for a drink and to catch up. Al didn't get home from work until 745am Sunday morning. :(

sunday morning after playing outside for a bit, T, mom and I drove up to the cities. Trevor took a good nap while I went to softball and then he and mom came to the games. we beat the #1, undefeated team twice! (we're in 6th place...) and we finally played well! it was fun and beautiful weather!

Monday morning T and I stopped by my papa's house to see him but he was still sleeping so we drove home to ec.
