I finally have a housekeeper once a week! Although, he's a little tempermental and never quite finishes the job...at least he's enthusiastic!
And Evan is on day 5 potty training! Woohoo!!! It's so wonderful!
Just some random photos
Evan cooking eggs...he even cracks them himself!
Playing "chase"
Awww..waving to the camera!
Playing at the park - Our best friends are in the background (April and Ava)
Neither Squirrels NOR birds like orange peel!
We did some additional outdoor experiments for Earth Day (click the link to see pictures and the post) and we discovered that if one of the dogs is ticked off enough, they will go completely crazy psychotic and destroy the seeds we started - who knew!
Here's Evan enjoying friends and the weather a couple of weeks ago at Burr Oak Woods Nature Center!
Oh my have I neglected this....

Today was our chill-out day! We stayed home and did things around the house. Evan helped me with some Spring cleaning (which I don't normally do but for some reason felt motivated today - just long enough).
We worked on the kitchen cabinets which tuned out well. And now Danny and I get to spend the next 7 years tyring to figure out the new system!
Here are some before and after photos
Just in case my days weren't crazy enough...Danny decided to show Evan how to climb up on his top bunk last night. I can either give in or listen to the whining all afternoon. Today we did both! Evan climbed up and down about a dozen times and then started throwing toys off the top (definitely against the "rules" we covered in the beginning) and wouldn't come down off the bunk...SO, the ladder went up and we cried for a while.
We'll see if they eat them or not.
