Happy Thanksgiving! My girls(chickens) are just happy it’s not them on the dinner menu. Ha ha. It is a lovely morning. Went to give the girls( chickens) their food. Yum yum. I got this awesome photos of them. #girlschickens #thanksgiving

Today I decided to get some painting done while still potty training. He’s doing well had some more oops but that’s to be expected. With that being said… I still dislike potty training. Well while painting the hallway ( fresh coat of white) I had our dog with me, I looked over to see she has white on her hind leg! Kids love to give her a bath and they think this is funny..So pause on the painting and on to… dog bath. Which is not fun either. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wish me luck with my 75 pound girl!

Here we are on day three of potty training. He’s doing well only had 5 oops. With having the week off from school I had it in my head that I was going to get a lot done. There is still a chance that I might like last night in between going back and fourth to the potty I was able to work on one of my paintings. I however wanted to get yard work started but with going to sit on the potty every five to ten minutes moving rocks is out for the next few days. I am so happy that he is finally excited to go on the potty. Being a mom of five I know all the tricks and yes I have even gone down the road of… bribery! We had tried to potty train him back in July. I did all the tricks and yes I Resort to bribery!! He likes peanutbutter cups, so I went to Costco and got that huge box of them. Came home told him he could have them if he just sat on the potty. He said no! Lol there are 36 peanut butter cups in that box. Hell I would sit on the potty for 36 peanutbutter cups… but it just goes to show you that my standards are lower than my three year olds! ( no I wouldn’t of given him all 36 of them it would of last a while it was just to get his attention and excitement for the potty)

Today.. I’m trying to potty train my 3rd son. Potty training is not only stressful on us but for them as well. I know that some kids pick it up faster than others being a mom of five oh boy do I know this. With that being said I really don’t like potty training 🤣🤣🤣. I get it, it’s nice to go to the bathroom where ever you are and not have to stop doing what your doing. I might like to do this only if people didn’t know why I was walking over to the corner. So here we are on this beauitful Saturday morning giving potty training a try!#pottytraning

I love storms! The sound, the smell, and the flashes of light ( when we actually get a thunderstorm) are wonderful! What I don’t like is the stuff getting thrown a cross the yard or blown out of the yard. My little green house got tossed across yard😭. I did find all the parts to it but the plastic is ripped. Looks like I will be fixing that. The chickens did well through their first storm.

Today I was hoping to get a lot done but it’s the holidays and stores are crowded.. and I also just plain didn’t want too. I did get the necessity of cleaning the house and school with the kids done but with the hustle and bustle don’t we all want at lest one day to do hardly anything or nothing at all? Instead of getting a project done or going to the store we spent time with our little Rwby. Watching the kids play with her laughing and getting grossed out by how small her poo is was the best thing I could of done tonight.

This weekend one of my best friends came into town! We hung out at my house, went to a few stores, lunch, after lunch i wasn’t feeling well she was great, making sure I still wanted to go do the other things and getting us frozen yogurt, then we saw the movie bad moms Christmas with a group of other ladies we know. It was a lot of fun to hang out with her and the other women we know. I’m sad to see her leave!

Today was as busy day! We got school done, cleaning, no projects got done but that’s okay because we spent time with our bunny. I forgot to let you all know her name in my last post. We named her Rwby! She is getting comfortable with us. As you can see in the photo she is lounging away. 🤣🤣

Today I got a lot done😊😊. We got school done and some papers that needed to be redone, so that is nice. I started painting the hanging baskets from outside. I want them to be a lively color! I started with sky blue for two of them. The other ones I will do a red. When I’m done painting them I will put fake flowers in them this year. This will be a on going project as there are many fake flowers to choose from. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have the greatest husband in the world! We have a new addition to our family! We got a bunny! We used to have a palomino bunny 3 years ago she past away. I loved that bunny very much. I cried when she went but we had a wonderful life with us and we loved her for all of the 5 years we had her. I found this sweet girl! She is a Holland Lop, 10 months old.
