Anniversaries and Potties

Rob was on vacation all last week and we accomplished two things.  They may be only two but it was accomplished very well.  First, we repainted the entire kitchen for only $5...talk about a deal!  Second, we celebrated our 5th anniversary and went all out.  We got a babysitter...thankya Kandice!......and then went to The Holy Hill Inn in Midway, Kentucky.  I don't think we have ever spent that much money on just a dinner but oh how it was sooooo worth it!  Chef Ouita prepares food that's locally grown and her menu reflects what's in season at the time and what's ripe in the garden.  Out back. Literally. 

It's this beautiful old home with a neat history and the food is delicious.  Visit their site at http://www.hollyhillinn.com/ to see some pictures and to read their menu. 
Depending on the moment, we are either doing well with the potty training or it's on the fast track to a migrane and loads of laundry.  The last two days have been successful so maybe we're on the upswing...I don't know.  He could care less about M&M's as a reward, he'd rather have a hug or look out the window. 

Our MOPS year is getting ready to go into full swing and I'm excited this year because our team is full of fresh ideas and ready to make it great this year.  Did I mention that school starts that same week?  It's going to be crazy. 



I tried to tell him that those shoes don't go with that diaper.

Donde esta?

Yep, it's been a while, a real long while.  I'm a horrible blogger but let me focus on what I am good at:
  1. Keeping Benjmain from killing Sadie
  2. Juggling MOPS, House Committee, back to college, being a mom and a wife. 
  3. Laundry
  4. Killing mice
  5. Keeping Benjamin alive
Benjamin is ALL boy, no doubt about that but where some moms might be pulling their hair out, I'm taking it in stride. So far this summer he has managed to:
  1. Open the doors and escape.
  2. Flush the toilet
  3. Push a chair to the dining room table and successfully walk on it.
  4. Can operate his VCR without my help.
  5. Lock me out of the house.
You read it right, he locked me out of the house today.  Luckily, Rob had just woke up so while he enjoyed a good laugh, he did let me back in.  I can truly say that I'm enjoying every minute of being his mom...he's an excellent son.

News!  Rob and I are both going back to school!  He was accepted to Liberty University's Online College to complete a BA degree and I was accepted into Midway College's Teacher's Education Program.  I'll be studying Secondary Biology.  We are finally being able to reap the benefits of his VA/GI Bill and me receiving a nearly full ride to Midway.  God is a very gracious God.

Enough for now, I'm heading to bed and then it's off to Cracker Barrell in the morning for breakfast with some of GBC's finest.
