Sickness and SNOW???
It's been a lo-o-ong week. Kenton came home from school on Monday with a 102 fever and has been home sick ever since. We went to the doctor on Wed and got started on an antibiotic but he woke up this morning with a fever again. :( He was fine yesterday so I am suspecting that he's moved on to a sinus infection but we'll see what the doctor says...
I am loving this weather! We've been spending time outside every day and yesterday I opened up some windows upstairs to air the bedrooms out and while it was a little chilly it felt GREAT! Yesterday afternoon we headed to help the Moser's rake up some late-falling leaves...well, technically the kids didn't help rake but they pretty much played outside from 4:00 until 8:30 with a short break for supper. Kaitlyn and Ethan crashed on the way home and Ethan slept the whole night...IN HIS OWN BED!! I think I'm shipping him outside every day if it gets him to crash so hard that he doesn't wake up and crawl in with us:)
BAD NEWS FOR TOMORROW...The National Weather Service is saying 90% chance of SNOW with ACCUMULATION:( :( :( with the temps dropping to the low 40's for next week :( :( :( Hmmm - not too excited about that prospect but glad that at least at this time of year the snow won't stick around for long...
GOOD NEWS on the potty training front...Ethan is potty training himself this week! He's stayed dry for the past few days (except while playing outside yesterday for four hours) and is TAKING HIMSELF to the bathroom! He woke up Wednesday and went on his own and surprised me at the doctor's office by announcing that he needed to go potty. I looked so surprised that I had to explain to the receptionist that I didn't know we were potty training...Ethan's my second child to prove that it's a control thing for them and the minute I give up forcing them to potty train they do it on their own. (Kaitlyn was the first) I'll take what I can get and I'm chalking the past few days up to a good start on being fully trained:)
The retaining wall that used to surround our house that was both falling in and creating a moat effect every time it rained is now officially gone!! Yea! Ricky and Amanda came over on Wednesday and hauled it away for their own landscaping purposes so now I'm working on getting it all cleaned up and ready to re-landscape. It will look so much nicer to have mulch down instead of the falling-in-wall!

C-c-cold in Florida
I will try to get around next week to finally posting some pictures on here again:)
Ryan and I have been in Florida these past few days enjoying the warm....oh wait, I'm sorry...COLD weather! They have actually had freezing advisories this past week and we've been in our winter clothes and coats all week. There have been a few vacationers who have braved the weather to lay by the pool but NOT US:) We are headed to Epcot this morning and than head home tomorrow. It's been so nice to have this little getaway with Ryan but I miss the kids. I'm glad I can say that as I've gone on many a little getaway without them where I didn't miss them at all and than felt guilting for not missing them:)
More Next Week!
Happy March - FINALLY!
