What Clouds Are Made Of

So lets see, what's been happening at our house recently......

Chris has been working hard on the basement and I'd say we are about 90% finished. It looks really great, I will post a pic at the end to show you some of the progress, but we will put really good ones out when it is completely finished.


My friend Deni came out for a visit. It was so fun to have a few days off work and have some much needed me time with a good friend. The kids really enjoyed Deni's visit. They still seem to be looking around the house for her in hopes that she is just playing a really tough game of hide and seek. And Deni, this is for you......hot dog hot dog hot digity dog!


Wes and Mia are making some progress on the potty training front.....well, I should say Mia is making progress.....but Wes is really happy for her. She seems to be doing well at using the potty pretty regularly. I took them to Target today to buy them big boy/girl underware as an incentive......they seemed pretty jazzed about it......we'll see.


We have all been good and healthy this winter as compared to last. I think the kids being really excited about washing their hands has helped temendously. They have been constantly asking to go to the park recently, but it's been too cold and windy to go. It's been a challange finding things to keep them busy when it's too cold for outside. Can't wait for spring!


Oh, about the title.......So we have this book about clouds, and this little cloud turns into all kinds of shapes and animals, and then at the end joins the other clouds and it rains......so Chris has been trying to teach the kids that clouds are made of water. The other day Chris asked Mia what clouds were made of. Our brilliant daughter replied with confidence that clouds are made of ........BACON! Chris and I both had a laugh and he asked her again what clouds were made of, and this time she said.....WAFFLES! In all fairness, it was 6am and waffles and bacon sounded like a pretty good idea to me too.
