What's new...

I have officially been in school for 2 weeks and I am loving it! It is so much different going back when you are older. I don't stress about things as much and I want to be there, which makes class and homework fun!

Moose will be moving his store next week to a new location in the mall. That makes some late nights since the mall does not allow stores to move during mall hours. As a trade off though, he will be off for the Super Bowl for the first time in 6 years. Yeah! Funny thing happened the other day. I was making salsa and had blended together the onion, garlic, and jalapenos. I jokingly bet him to eat a spoonful for a box of baseball cards...and he did it! It was so foul smelling and he almost puked! I can't believe I didn't get it on tape! Here is a pic of what the mixture looked like before I mixed it in with the tomatoes...Yuck!

Payton is completely potty trained. It took a little over a week and he had it down. He is enjoying school with his new teacher, Jhenessa with a class full of 17 kids! Poor Jhenessa! She said at our parent/teacher conference a few days ago that he does really well in class participating in story time and other activities. He still has occasional bad days, but all in all, he has made massive improvements from last year.

Logan is in the middle of potty training. He does really well with #1 during the day, but #2 is still a struggle. And he still needs to be diapered for nap and overnight. He will get it. He was really cute tonight. He went running to the bathroom so I followed to make sure he got there in time. He did not want my help getting his pants and underwear down and when he finally managed to do it himself, he turned around and pointed to the door and said, "Out, now!" I don't know where he gets that stubbornness (Moose). :0)

So I am trying to grow my hair out and am struggling to find a style to my "trying to grow it out" look. I have been toying with straightening it for years, but never had the guts. Well, my friend Sarah who is a fantastic hair dresser suggested a product that will just loosen my curls and I think I am going to try it. I picture it looked more tousled that curly when I want a quick do but I can still straighted it easily without it taking over an hour. Now if I can only find 4 hours to myself to get it done...

Well, I feel like I just wrote the Christmas letter that never went out! Hope everyone is doing well and don't forget to read your bible today!

P.S. Speaking of Christmas...here is a picture of the gift the Fennema's got us. The boys were fighting over it and I needed to take it away from them. I wasn't sure what else to do with it! And then there is a short video of Logan. Enjoy:0)
