Been A While

So we had Laura's birthday party with Jess and Jessica and the kids.  The cake turned out pretty awesome if i dare say so myself.  The weekend after the birthday was the Superbowl.  Well Matt invited everyone from work over- obviously not everyone came but we had a great turnout.  We managed to get the house in order the week before - all the boxes were emptied and well it was a great party- the kids played downstairs, where we set up the ping pong table.  I think they all had a good time.

John and Laura started swimming lessons on February 11th in High Prairie.   However this week Laura didn't get to go, she has been sick almost all week.  John had his first school trip with the playschool he attends.  They went to a carnival in St Isidore- which is a huge french festival.  Sounds like he had a great time- however we had a conversation as we were driving home from me picking him up from school.

"So John did you have soup and grilled cheese for lunch"
- I said no thank you but they still gave me soup.  And i didn't want a grilled cheese so I ate the lunch you sent me.
"OK - so what else did you do?"
-We played outside.
"Did you have maple syrup on snow?"
-The other kids did but I didn't mommy.
"why not John?"
-Because you tell me not to eat snow.
"But John mommy tells  you not to eat snow and you still do it, why didn't you try it? you love syrup"
-I don't know
"That was one of the treats mommy loved as i was your age"

And today i had to tell him to stop eating the snow and catch up with me.

Well Friday we went to Grande Prairie- we bought a Hyundai Elantra it's Red!!  It's Great!!  It's Matt's!!! Now we are going to sell the van and I get to drive the huge truck

Yesterday Laura managed to open doors with the round door knobs.  OH NO!!!  I also started trying to put her in big girl underwear- Within 10 minutes she had her first accident.  Yesterday I put a pull up on her for the first time- she insisted on underwear on top.

Today- the kids had lunch downstairs.  Laura came up NOTHING on her bottom half...So i go downstairs to find her diaper.  It was wet but that was it.  So i go to change her- Noticed POOP on her bum.... oh no.  So she must have pooped in the basement after she took off her diaper.  I gave Matt he option to change her or go find the poop....she must have been taking care of her doll- pooped and kept taking care of her babies.  She had traces of it going every which way in the toy room.
