oh dear...the good news and the bad...

so the good news is...our camera is fixed, we have it back and instead of paying the $136...frank is cooking dinner at his friends mom's house, for her, her husband and a few of their friends!! she is paying for the food...frank is cooking it! so not only did we get our camera fixed (for free) but he now also has an opportunity to get his name out there once again for some private party type business!! of course we are going to use the money we had put aside for the repair (part of which was from my mom) towards a little thank you gift for (brandons) mom...but we felt very blessed by the final outcome of that situation...

the bad news...this is the first picture i was able to use the camera on today - my discovery, walking into tuscan's room to wake him up from his nap...that is his mattress laying on the floor and when i walked in he was still sound asleep on it, his butt way up in the air....no sheets or blankets...he had taken those all off too...

his sheets were stuck behind his door, there was a support bar missing from the underside of his bed, how he got his mattress to the other side of the room is beyond me! and the best part is, he apparently did this without making any noise because frank said he never heard a thing!! (the kids were all asleep for the afternoon nap when i got home today) crazy boy...but it inspired me to clean up his room real good, vacuum under the bed, so i guess he did it for a reason!

and on a good note, we have had a really good week so far with potty training. he has been amazing at telling us that he has to go (pee and poop) and he hasnt peed in a pull up in 2 days...so we are definitely making progress and he seems very excited about the idea of not wearing baby diapers anymore! yeah tuscan - i am so proud of him!!

kelly (syracuse) is still pregnant...im hoping by sunday she will go into labor, the plan is to head up there wednesday, baby or no baby...kellie (colorado) is flying in saturday afternoon...and we are looking forward to a fun filled week...outlets, wine, strong museum of play and dinosaur bbq...wine and scrapbooking, syracuse...maybe another bottle of wine and lots of talking, laughing, probably a few good tears...ya know just being us!! i cant wait! its been a year and a half since we last saw each other (when she flew me and tuscan down to OK) so i am so excited for her to see the house since we settled in, to see how much tuscan has grown and matured, to meet the twins!! and to have a whole week to just do whatever we want to do! its going to be a blast! did i mention..i cant wait!!
