July 4th weekend
In true fashion July 4th weekend was spent enjoying Bagley and Volunteering. Friday we went down to my mom's house. Upon arrival my mom and I went to help make the Bagley Auxillary yummy potato salad for the chicken dinner sales.
Saturday was the day of the festivities even though it was a day early. The boys enjoyed the parade and then Nick and I spent most of the day with either the kids or working. I think he had the boys the most I did a few volunteer stuff with the Chicken dinner and the beer tent. But later on he had the beer tent and I had the pleasure of cleaning up 3 very very very dirty boys. Isaac and Noah sat in the sand at the park and just dumped it allllllllll over themselves.. wow was that a nightmare. Thankfully my Cousin's Fiance Rachel helped me with the switch of boys out of the tub and into clothes while I continued to clean the next son. Of course I had to dump the tub after each one because there was sand EVERYWHERE.
When it got dark we went to watch the fireworks. Unfortunately they moved the fireworks location this year so there were trees infront of the low firework show so we only got to see the stuff High in the sky. Nick closed the beer tent while I took the boys to my mom's for bed. Fun day.. The kids got a ton of Candy in the parade this year.
Sunday we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Klauer's and kept Grandma Klauer entertained and then after Grandpa Klauer got off work we entertained him too. lol.
Other news Potty training has started for Noah. I couldn't take it any longer. His poor tushie gets tore up from poop and pee on it in a diaper even if it is on there only briefly. So we have started. He goes when we put him on but he hasn't really said that he needs to go or wants to go. But of course we are rewarding him with MandMs and loads of praise. And his big brother is such a big help. We have been rewarding Isaac 2x daily if he helps a lot with getting Noah to go to the potty. If Isaac has to go potty it is his job to take Noah by the hand and lead him to the potty and help him go and I also take Noah when I have to go so we are getting him in their a lot and it is most helpful if I am nursing Adam. Isaac loves to earn the bitesized candy bars and of course loves all the attention and praise. This has been amazingly helpful when it comes to him too he hasn't had hardly any accidents since we have been training Noah. The method seems to be working brilliantly so hopefully I can pass it down and have Noah help me with Adam when the time comes and Adam help me with the next if and when there is a next.
More other news I had more allergy testing done on my blood because I have agreed to Allergy Shots so they are trying to find al my allergens and make up my special blend of juice for my allergy shots. I have a 95% chance it will improve my reactions to allergens and a 50% chance it will help my eczema. Though I am crazy allergic to dust and dust mites I need to get special bedding covers for my bed and has been suggested to get rid of all carpet in my house. Not sure about that considering I just paid to have the basement carpeted. I guess I should have just had hardwood put down there too.. GRR..
We are planning a vacation for our 5 year anniversary but since I am nursing it won't be until November when I am done nursing Adam. So we are in the process of getting the place, the airfare in order since my mom said she would take all 3 of our boys for the week we are gone. We also need to get passports since it is a new rule for the Bahamas. It will be nice to celebrate our 1/2 a decade anniversary. Well this is long enough enjoy.
