My Birthday Lunch

My birthday is Tuesday, but the kids wanted to do something for me while they were here. So, they planned a lunch for me with Jason as a surprise. I came home from church (Jason stayed home with Avery cause she was coughing) and there was this sign on the door...

I went to my room and I saw this sign...

So, I happily changed into some comfy clothes and got under the covers to await my surprise.

The kids came and got me, and I came out to a fully prepared Italian meal of spaghetti parmesan (spiral noodles, with spaghetti sauce with cut up chicken nuggests) and it was DELICIOUS!!! I got to open my presents, and I got my most favorite things from each of the kids - COUPONS!!

From Avery:

From Sophia (sorry for the sideways shots)

And from Jordan (upside down? Sorry. He had several more, I really liked his, especially the one that says "1 free Harry Potter movie with me."

Then I got a beautiful chocolate cake, complete with trick candles and sprinkles...

Man, I am lucky to have these cutie pie munchkins in my life!!

And this guy, who put such thought into helping the kids give me a great birthday lunch.

I think Avery liked the cake.

I would say this birthday rivaled even the best birthday party, even ones where my meals cost a lot, at a professional restaurant. So glad I have such a great family!!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
