Is March truly half over?

I can hardly believe how fast time goes by! It is crazy!



Yesterday Koben went in for his four year well check. (only 2 1/2 months late) Craig had to take him in, so I didn't get to be there to hold my little mans hand. Craig wasn't sure what his height was, but they weighed him in at 51.6 pounds. That's my boy!! Holy moses, he is getting big! No wonder he feels like a sack of grain when we have to pick him up when he is sleeping! I always worry that he is getting too big, but the Doctor just says he is a big kid. He is not fat, he is really not even chubby, he is just a big, solid, tall kid. He looks like he's six years old! Oh, but how cute he is! He had three shots yesterday. Craig said on the first one, he didn't say a word. On the second he said "ouch" and on the third he said "no more, stop!" But he never cried. What a brave little monkey. I have been blessed with children that handle shots well. He is such a cutie, we enjoy him so!



Chloe is anxiously waiting spring break. I think she is kinda worn out, and can't wait for the school year to end. What kid can't? From March on, that is all we thought about. Summer vacation and long lazy days... Ahh, to be a kid again. Summer for me means really long work days, a lot of stress, and not being able to enjoy the summer hardly at all. =( Oh well, you take the good with the bad.



My kitchen smells like Corned beef today.........yummy! We will all be retaining a little water for the next few days, that is for sure, but it will be worth it. I invited mom and dad over for dinner, but dancing with the stars is apparantly on tonight, and since dish network still hasn't settled their dispute with channel 2, mom and dad can not tape it with their dvr, because they have to watch channel 2 off of the antennae. Oh, the lives of old people. Those were moms words when she called, not mine. However I still laughed at her. I told her she was more than welcome to watch it at our house, but she never wants to because it is on until 10, and she thinks that is too late. I think she just likes to be at home, laying on her couch, where she is comfortable, and can fall asleep as soon as it is over. She is so funny.



Koben and I are hanging out today. Doing laundry and cleaning floors. I will take him to school at 1:30, and enjoy two hours of a good book while he is gone.

We are finally getting Koben potty trained. We are so excited!! He has not had any accidents for over a week now. Only trouble is that he refuses to wear underpants, he only wants his pull ups. Not sure why. Unless he thinks his pullups offer a little more forgiveness. We have been making him wear underpants a little at a time, I am sure he will get used to them. It is soooo nice to not have to buy pullups like crazy anymore though. They are so expensive!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! Part of me wishes I were in Ireland right now...how fun would that be!!??
