Girly Knits

Sigh.. yup picked up my knitting needles again recently. It is so nice to have a project in mind and to feel like I am making something truly special for someone. My sister in law on my hubby's side is having another girl! That means GIRLY KNITS! In pink!!!! So off to the yarn store I went and picked up some great stuff! Already half way through the first one. Can't wait to start the next. At least it blocks the gory stuff of TV from me while we are watching Criminal Minds, or Grey's.

I am also training for a triathlon. After many years of no sports for me, I have decided.. it is time to invest in myself and something that I will enjoy doing. So my dad and I went off to the bike store and bought me a road bike! Although I haven't ridden it yet I can't wait. Thought I would try out a little bit of everything in one day and see how I do. So I ran up to the gym on Tuesday night, about 3 kms or so, then I did a one hour spin class (which kicked my butt!) and after that it was off to the pool for 36 laps. I have to say that although I was tired I was feeling pretty good! I can't wait for the real thing... and doing the swimming first instead of last! I think my times will be a bit better!

Well babes are up... so I am off! that was a short post. Hope to keep up with this a little more!

Potty Training... and some other stuff

Soooo we have decided to start potty training Trace.. well we have potty trained him, I think. We are on week three, and with two under our belt we are definitely having WAY less accidents! And no real pee ones, only the messy poop kind. Yipeee for me. I woke up on the 10th of January and said.. what the heck why not put him in underwear and haven't really looked back. That day started with 7 accidents, the next day 6 and it has gone WAY down since then to maybe 1 a day! I have to give a BIG thank you to skittles for being an awesome candy for treats once he has peed, one for a pee and two for a poop!

On Saturday we decided to venture to Nana's house for a get together with Trace only in his undies... well only one accident and go figure it was a NASTY poop one. UGH, but all in all a successful outing. I am excited as we have WAY decreased our diaper output and Trace seems to be now having fun with it. He picks his undies and loves to show off his ummm "deposits" to me and Daddy, Granny and Grampa and any other guests over for a visit. Lucky them!

Canaan is now full time walking! Which makes life extra crazy, and to top off our week last week, Jaxon burned himself. So we have been dealing with keeping his hand clean, Canaan getting into everything and making sure that Trace is not peeing or pooping in his underwear!

AHHHHH!!! I felt I needed an outlet of some sort and so I picked up a knitting project, a new pair of socks for me! And looking at making some things for little babies on the way too!

So our life in a nutshell has been just that lately.. nutty! Will post some pics soon and I really do hope to keep this updated!
