GOOD RIDDANCE, Spring Break

Can I just say that I hope Spring Break never comes again? Usually I welcome any extra second I can have with my husband. But last week for Spring Break Marty took off Thursday and Friday and we just tried to do WAY too much for a pregnant lady with limited physical capacity/emotional stability.
We painted our ENTIRE downstairs (besides the den) which was a humongous project that we tried to accomplish while Brynn was napping and then pretty much all night after she went to sleep.

Then, while Brynn was awake we started potty training! We did this three day method that some of our friends have had luck with, and actually Brynn is doing really well. There were about a thousand times over the last few days where I just wanted to bang my head against the wall. But we started it 5 days ago and Brynn has gotten up dry 4 out of the last 5 mornings and the same with her naps. Yesterday she only had one accident! Today I am taking her to the library to see how she does when we are out in public. This is a really...intense method, but I think it's a good one and if anyone is looking for a potty training method, I'd be glad to send you the info. My back and legs are aching from running Brynn to the potty so much and I think I may just send myself into an early labor...but I think it will be worth it! But next time spring break rolls around we are taking a vacation!

This is the color of our kitchen! I'll post more pics when I get the decorations hung back up and everything. Oh, and this nice little tribute is hidden behind the fridge. :)

I love that color! I'm so excited to see your house in May, rather than just glimpses in the background of pictures.

Well, that doesn't sound like much of a break but I bet it's nice to have it done! I like the color. When I have kids someday, I will be asking for your potty training info.

Yes, please! What is the secret? We tried potty training when Brecken turned 2 (he was so ready...until he turned two and the attitude came out)! So send any and all advice my way, either through blog or email!

Definitely send me the info! Zachary has been really interested in going to the potty these days. I wonder if it would work for him . . .

Definitely too ambitious for your own good. It will be REALLY nice to have Brynn potty trained so you only have one in diapers!!...as long as she doesn't regress or something when Bryce is born!

Good Work!! I love the paint color and can't wait to see everything finished. I am so happy that Brynn is doing so well. Landon and Carter still wear diapers to bed, but they're doing really well during the day.
