Get out of my bed...
Tonight it was so cute as we tucked Luke in to bed he said the following: "Elmo, get up that's my bed". I laughed so hard. So his Elmo stuffed animal is in the doghouse tonight. Sorry, no pictures to share tonight.
Luke's still doing well with potty training. I am thinking he'll get the #2 part down SOON!
He's so excited about his "Dirthday" party. He's been talking all day about his cupcakes, dirthday presents, dirthday party, etc...It's finally starting to sink in that he is having his party this Sunday.
He's a hoot and a half though. We made some cupcakes as a dry run today and he was SO excited about getting to eat a cupcake. They were yummy.
We got to see Nana and Poppa today too.

Wiggly Water Fun...Cuzzin Beau..."Dirthday" Party
I forgot to post these pic's yest. of Luke's Wiggly Water fun hose that GranDee bought him as part of an early bday gift. As you can see, he had a blast playing in it.Speaking the his birthday Luke's been talking ALL DAY about his McQueen "Dirthday" Party and how he wants cupcakes. Beau came over to play today and he even got Beau reciting the mantra of Dirthday Party...only Beau said HE wanted, "Cake-cups" Too cute huh!
The two of them play so well together. Amber went with me to run an errand and while in the car Luke informed Beau that we were not watching the MO MO (Elmo) video, but rather the Wiggles video. It's funny to hear them banter back and forth. Everything Luke does Beau has to do. If Luke takes his shoes off, Beau has too...etc. The other day when he came over Luke had just his underwear on so we could potty train. Beau immediately said, "Want pant's off!" Too cute.
Speaking of potty training it's going awesome. Today he poo pooed in the BIG potty. He pushed the stool over and got up there all by himself. We're very proud of our big boy.
Dana-Your necklace order is being shipped tomorrow. You should get it by the end of the week. Enjoy. Thanks Aunt Jenny for helping me make the necklaces tonight.
That's it, heading off to bed WITH TYLENOL PM tonight.

Some funnies...
First let me start by saying yes it's almost 1am. and I'm up. That's because I ran out of Tylenol PM's YESTERDAY.
So, this morning I'm going to cover a broad gammet of funnies that have occured in the last couple days.
By the way, potty training is going awesome. We're officially a diaper-free zone. Why didn't I stick with potty training sooner? It's SO NICE not to have to change diapers all day. Luke tells me when he needs to potty and we go. He's still not got going #2 in the potty, but I hear that's normal. He's literally accident free where going #1 is concerned. It took 3 straight days of cleaning pee pee underwear and then something just "clicked" with him. I'm sure dangling fruit snack treats every time he went tinkle in the potty helped a lot too. I bought those happy face fruit snacks from Walmart, put them in an airtight container on the bathroom vanity (you germaphob's stop worrying). Every time he tee tee's in the potty, washes his hands and pulls up his own pants he gets ONE fruit snack. This boy is the most pottying fool, I've ever seen. He has great bladder control though as he even held it in the car after he told me he needed to go tee tee. Way to go Luke, mommy and daddy are SO proud of you.
Today, we prepared to go to Walmart. As I gathered my key's and we were standing at the back door I said to Luke, "you ready to go?" He said, "Ready to go G.I. Joe". If I'm lying, I'm dying....I laughed so hard. He got that from me because some times I say, "Ready to go G.I. Joe". Boy, they pick up on everything.
Once at Walmart we'd pass aisles where he'd see something he wanted and he'd say, "Mommy I want raisins". To which I would usually reply, "No, we already have raisins at home honey, remember". So, today he would answer his OWN question. Conversation went something like this, "Mommy, I want raisins--no we have some of thoses at home right mommy". This age is so precious.
Also, while at Wally World we got his Lightning McQueen pinata and party favors for his 3 year old birthday party on Sunday. He's so funny as we were checking out I said, "Say Hi to our checkout lady". He said, "Hi Birthday Party lady". I said, "tell her how old you'll be on your birthday Sunday". He held up three fingers and said, "Six". It was too cute for words. Guess we still have to work on numbers.
Also, yest. morning he informed me at 9 am. that he, "Want a sucker mommy". I said, "No honey we can't have a sucker for breakfast". To which he replied, "Tell GranDee to go to store and get some". I just laughed.
Over the weekend Luke was wandering around our house talking on his pretend phone saying, Abby (my inlaws poodle) where are you??? You know you're in the technological age when your 2 year old points his pretend phone at you and says, "Say cheese" to take your picture. That's just what he did last week to me. His pretend phone even has a fake picture taking sound on it. Too much.
We're gearing up for vacation bible school at church next week. I'm heading up crafts this year with my friend Heather, she's H1, I'm H2 and Amber DRIVES an H3. How clever huh.
Oh, I had to laugh when I got in bed earlier this evening before I got up to blog. I was adjusting the volume on the monitor when I noticed a hot dog sitting on my windowseat in the bedroom. Albeit, it was a plastic hotdog from Luke's old play kitchen. It just took me off guard and made me laugh. That boy can dig up some of the craziest stuff. Oh, his Elmo sunglasses were tucked into the bed sheets on daddy's side too. What a little goober.
As you can tell, life is a laugh a minute round these parts. That's what makes being a mom so much fun for me. Kids don't care how dirty they are or how un-cooth they are. It's the innocent part of being young. I was reminded of that in the car today as Luke slurped, burped and drizzled my diet Dr. Pepper down the front of his shirt. When I tried to take it back he would say, "I'm tirsty momma". Oh, and when he sits on the potty and only toots he looks up and me and smiles and says, "I toot momma." I just say, "that's okay".
Well...I think that's about all the funnies for now. Stay tuned for more crazy Luke antics.

Penis story...yes, I did say PENIS!
Ok, it's here. The infamous "PENIS story". My girlfriend Tammy (BlueEyes) made me feel convicted at Pokeno Monday night about my need to potty train Luke. After all, he does turn 3 next Sunday. I've tried several times previously and he just didn't show any interest. It was frustrating to say the least. But, Monday Tammy said, "How's potty training going?" I said, "It's not". Then I got to thinking on Tues. why NOT try again. So, here goes.
I put Elmo big boy underwear on Luke and said, "Tell mommy when you need to go potty or poo poo and we'll go in your big boy potty", "don't tee tee in your underwear, you're a big boy now and big boys go in the potty, not in diapers.". Well...he peed and pooped all day in his underwear, just like he was wearing a diaper. Each time I told him it was ok, and that accidents happen, but I kept reminding him to tell me when he needed to go. He never did. Wednesday, same scenario different day. Thursday we seemed to turn a corner. Thank God because I almost gave up again.
Thursday morning he was sitting on his big boy potty and mommy was sitting on the big girl potty. I pulled down his underwear and he has to take them ALL THE WAY off. I said, "Point your penis down towards the potty and go tee tee. Mommy is going to read you the potty book while you do that." To my amazement he reached down and pointed his penis downward but looked up and me and said as if amazed, "MY PEEENIS". I said, "Yes, that is your penis and you use it to go potty like a big boy in the potty." To which he replied, "Yummy, good penis!" as if he was admiring a tasty icecream cone or apple juice. He always says, "Yummy ___and whatever it is he likes". I tried not to laugh and said, "No honey we can't eat our penis, it's a body part, we use it to tee tee in the potty." To which HE said, "Yeah, no eat penis!" I thought I would lose a lung laughing. He DID pee pee successfully in the potty and had no accidents at all yest. Even slept through his nap without peeing in his pull up. Today, no accident's either except he does still poop in his underwear. We haven't quite gotten that down yet.
But...the funny part is now EVERY time he sits down he points his penis downward into the potty, looks up at me and says: "My penis....no eat penis!".
God, I hope he doesn't tell anyone, "Look, I no eat penis!". They'll definitely wonder what we're teaching this boy.
It's really cute to watch him though. I make a BIG deal out of it when he pee's in the potty. We even have a congratulatory "pee pee dance" that we do. He also get's McQueen fruit snacks when he does it.
Isn't parenting fun....all except the poopy underwear.

Chalk....Storms...Streaker....Talking to ants...Potty Training
There's a streaker on the loose in our neighborhood...
And the thunder rolls, AGAIN!
It's gonna rain I can feel it...
Pretty self explanatory!
Cute lil buns!
Talking to ant's...Luke said, "Hi bugs!"
Talking to ant's...Luke said, "Hi bugs!"
Ice cream cone shaped chalk...ain't it good! As Luke says: "Nummy Nummy". But it sure doesn't taste like lime. Ick!

On second thought...what was I thinking????
Yeah, maybe the markers thing wasn't such a great idea after all.
Ok, you busy mom's will understand where I'm coming from on this one. I've been putting off getting all my "stuff" bills, info. etc. together for our atty. to pursue the lawsuit against my wt. loss Dr. for his gross negligence that almost ended my life. Pretty important stuff right? It requires UNINTERRUPTED time to pull things together and journal my notes of all the going's-on that took place related to my multiple surgeries and extended 2 month hospital stay at the cozy Baylor "hotel".
Anyway...I thought it would be a nice time for Luke to draw in his coloring book with markers. A break from the traditional crayons he usually draws with. Boy, was I mistaken. This series of artistic "drawings" literally took place in a matter of 5 minutes. Proving that much damage can be done in a very little amt. of time.
All I could do was laugh and Hail Hitler.
Hey, at least he's creative!
Those of you who know Jason's "clean streak" know that he would have had a stroke if he had seen this first hand.

Along with the sun...
Along with the sun, came energy-zapping heat. We swam at cousin Beau's today for hours. Don't worry Luke wore his ear plugs and swim vest. But....the sun just zapped everyone's energy. See!!!

There's an 80% chance...
Well....I'm so excited because tomorrow, Sat. there's an 80% chance of sunshine!
Can we all sing in unison the Hallelujah Chorus!
Fa...la....la...la!

New Doggie...(not a real one)
As you can see...today's adventure's took us to Stonebriar Mall to get a playmate for Kalepo the Monkey.So, off to Build-A-Bear workshop we went. Luke picked out this precious little pup, stuffed him, bathed him and picked out this Spiderman shirt for him. He even named him, "Doggie". He's so original huh!
It's been raining here FOREVER and we just had to get out of the house. Luke seems to be feeling a bit better today. Although, he is hoarse.
How do you like our newest family member, Doggie Rice?

All sparkled out...
Well, today we were going to spend part of the day with Nana and part of the day with Uncle Scott and Aunt Jenny.
However, Luke decided to wake up with a worse eye infection, snotty nose and general crankiness. So, we ended up just doing lunch w/Nana, taking naps and then eating catfish for dinner. Then, it was time to come home and go night night.
Luke's tuckered out, Mommy is tuckered out from hearing, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" all day long. Luke kept asking where Poppa was and we kept telling him, "Remember he flew on an airplane to Amsterdam". He didn't quite get it. He'd say, "Ok" then turn right about and say:" Have you seen Poppa?" So, Poppa if you're reading this blog Lukey misses you something awful.
The weather here was nicer than I've ever seen July in TX. It didn't rain finally and was cool for this time of year. Too bad Lukey wasn't feeling better so we could have done some 4th of July stuff. I wasn't really into doing the whole big crowds/fireworks thing anyway.
So, it's early to bed for us. Jason is playing poker tonight and I'm about to go examine the inside of my eyelids. Happy 4th of July everyone. I still cannot believe it's already July. Luke's going to be 3 years old on the 22nd. It seems just like yest. that I was pregnant. Wierd how I'm 100 lbs. lighter than I was this time 3 years ago. Never thought I'd say that.
Later taters...Be safe with your sparklers!

"Ban-Aid's"...Easter in July...PBJ Facial...
As you can see Luke has discovered that there are never enough "Ban-Aid's" (as he calls them) to cover his boo-boo's. Too cute huh!
Who said Easter can't come in July? (Don't worry Daddy I already made him clean it up)
Peanut Butter and Jelly make for a great facial. You should try it. Very nourishing to the skin.
