A New Man

I have been dreading potty training for several months now. Dallin has been ready, but I have really been dragging my feet. I finally cleared an entire week and began the process. I really lucked out!! It has been a week, and we haven't had an accident in several days. Dallin is a big boy now and is very proud of himself. My only problem now is Brooke. She refuses to wear a diaper or underwear. She wants to be just like her brother and always has to use the bathroom at the same time he does. I don't know quite what to do with her!

Snail Bait

I love sitting on the front porch. The kids and I spend quite a bit of time there, so we planted some flowers a few weeks ago to make the place feel a bit more like home. Within days I noticed that our plants were starting to wilt. I kept watching them, but the problem kept getting worse. One night we got home late and noticed tons of snails all over the porch and sidewalk. The kids thought it was great! I was happy to finally figure out what was killing our flowers, but a little bugged that I would have to replant. I took the kids to the store the next day and we bought some snail bait. The next day we had dead snails everywhere! Dallin and Brooke had a great time picking up all the shells and making snail soup. Unfortunately, some of the shells mysteriously made it into the house!! I don't know that our house will ever smell the same.
