Before I forget again...

I know it's been a long time. About 7 months I think. Busy times. We bought our first house, and now reside (and WILL for a while) in our "New yellow house" in Sherwood, OR. There are a million little things that I always think "I should put that on the blog." Clearly, I haven't. Busy girl I am, fast typist I am not. So, before I forget this all, I wanted to put a few things down about my growing babies...

- Last spring, the boys' favorite song in the world was Michael Jackson's "She's out of my life." They would want to listen to it over and over again, and it actually worked as a bribe for a little while. Alas, they figured me out, and stopped requesting to listen to it around the end of summer. They haven't agreed on a single song since then (or a type of music for that matter!).

-We started potty training the boys just before Thanksgiving 2011. Carter took about 6 months, and then he was wearing his "Tiney-Whineys" as he liked to call them, day and night. He had cool superhero underpants too, but for a while there, the tidey-whiteys were the way to go, as far as he was concerned. Brother took a bit longer, but is officially pull-up free as well (going on about 2 months now). YEAHHHH!! I seriously never realized how exciting poop in the potty can be.

-Speaking of super hero underpants, the boys have recently gotten pretty heavy in to the idea of Super heroes and Transformers. I think they got it from the McDonald's toys (transformers) and the various Super guys on their underpants. They want to know all about each one, their names, and of course their Theme songs. Of course I don't actually remember them, and so (before I you-tubed them) I sang them as best I recall. A few weeks ago, Carter went 2 days straight singing "Gah-nah-nah-nah Gah-nah-nah-nah Gah-nah-nah-nah (repeat 25 times) BATMAN!" I'm not sure where the "G" came from, but it is very funny listening to the boys sing it. I did finally look up the songs, and found out only Spiderman really has words. I was a bit disappointed.

That's all the cute things I can think of at this minute...I'll try and post more before another year goes by. A lot of things can happen in just one year...
