The forecast is calling for 9-15 inches of snow total by tomorrow.   Dean got sent home from work around noon.  Caleb’s school got an early dismissal for 12:45 so we all went to pick up Caleb then to mcdonalds so we could get out of the house one more time before being stuck in for a day or two.  Thankfully we have no plans for the weekend so we’re going to enjoy it.  Not to mention we got cable again yesterday complete w/ DVR and hi-def tv on the big screen, wohoo!! Lost was amazing in hi def on the big tv last night!

In other news, Zeke has decided he wants to go on the potty all of the time!! so far this morning he’s gone potty and had dry diapers.  Just now when I was getting him ready for nap I was checking his diaper and it was dry so I asked him if he needed to go potty and he said yes.  So he peed on the potty.  Before I got a diaper back on him the phone rang and I answered it.  Then he asked to go potty again, so I obliged thinking it was good for him to go right before nap if he could get it all out and sure enough he pooped on the potty!! the kid ‘s 2 weeks shy of 2 years old and he’s already choosing to poop on the potty! I am amazed.  Pooping on the potty was the biggest challenge we had w/ the older 2!  I told Dean and my friend since he’s on a roll today I may as well keep with it these next few days since we’re going to be stuck at home anyway.  maybe we can thank the blizzard of 2008 on being able to potty train Zeke!!  I’ll let you know how it goes..but so far I’m excited, not to mention he’s initiating all of it!  My friend said I probably deserve it since I’ve already had to deal w/ potty training twice, maybe God is blessing me w/ an easy time this go around!!  🙂

Speaking of an easy time….Dean’s home, the big boys are out playing in the snow and the little man(zeke) is in bed hopefully falling asleep…so off to get a much needed nap myself only to have to get up and put away tons of laundry…but I’ll have a few days to do it since we’ll probably be stuck here at least the rest of today and tomorrow!   I am just glad Dean got sent home early so I can get a break for a day or so..maybe God figured we all needed a day off and sent us this storm…tons of places closed before the first snowflake fell.   Calebs school held out as long as they could have, too long probably.

well off to enjoy a warm bed and look out at the kiddos playing in the snow that’s still falling and will probably fall for the next 24 hours.   It’s all Carries fault for wishing it on everyone else when we were getting 65+ degrees and sun while she was stuck in the snow(just joking Carrie!)
