I had a thought

I had a thought about something that I wanted to write, and now I can't remember, hmm.. So a general update.
We are in full on potty training around here. I was out last Tuesday and I called Justin just to check in and this is our conversation "we're in lock down for the ext little while" me, "whats going on", Justin, "we're potty training and she can't play with her big girl toys, they have been put away, she can't play with friends, nothing", I say "OK". And so far it hasn't been bad. She's going about 2-3 times a day in the potty, she's pooped once, and we have on average one accident every other day. However, she did poop twice in her under wear today... yuck. But she went on her own today as well so, I can't complain. We put her in a diaper at nights but, other than that its under wear the rest of the time (although we've had a few fits about wanting a diaper). When she has to go she'll say "my pee pee's awake", she goes and she cheers and says "I did it"!
Tysen is a handful, looking for anything to get into, which is opposite of what Addie was like. He is standing and holding onto things and trying to take steps. He has 1 tooth and another that i think will be here shortly. He is 10 months old, and doesn't so much eat food, but rather smears it all over. He has the best laugh and wrinkles his nose and breaths like he's a bull ready to charge.
We're trying to decide what to do for Halloween, Adlen has a USC cheerleader outfit, so we thought we'd find a Jersey for Tysen and make him a football player. Or, and this is my pick, I'd like to make Adlen an Angel, and Tysen, a little devil.
Justin is still looking for work, actually we both are so if you know anyone who is hiring a Project Engineer, or an assistant project manger, let us know, or anyone who is hiring in a community or public relations based job, let me know. At this point we'll go anywhere.
We look forward to the rest of the year. We have opportunities to see family, and of course, our trip to Hawaii, without kids, courtesy of my brother and his brave wife to take on our two kids, plus their three!

Tell everyone about it, it will go through basic things I've learned and would also love to hear hear what you have learned as well!

Right now...

Right now Adlen is in the tub, Tysen is asleep and I'm on the computer, while I smell dinner cooking down stairs...I love my hot husband!

We've had a busy weekend with a last minute trip to Grandmas house. We played in the pool and at the beach and saw the seals at La Jolla, it was a nice little get away!

My hair sums it up...its been messy!

On a night in which I can't fall asleep, here I am, updating my blog! We've had an interesting few weeks so I'll just highlight some of it. One of my very best friends was married a few weeks ago and we had the opportunity to go to her beautiful wedding. The bride and groom looked so happy and the reception was such a blast! It was wonderful to have the majority of the day without the kids. I'm not sure what it is but I've been feeling a little burnt out and I'm not sure exactly how to fix it so it was a much needed break.

On the note, today Tysen fell down about 8 of our steps, he is fine but I've been feeling like with Tysen there have been more accidents and more often. I'm not sure if its because he is the second and I'm not always there to watch him but then I don't feel like that should be an excuse when it comes to safety.

Coming back from out of town on Sunday we had a note on our door that our neighbor found our dog (after picking him up he got back out about midnight, in which our neighbor knocked on our door). Then the next afternoon he got out again and didn't return till Tuesday morning. He is fine but his ear is a bit torn.

Does anyone else feel they have weeks were they just can't get it together, because that's where I am!

On a positive note, Justin and I will be going to Hawaii in December with his family, and the best part (but a little sad as well), we're leaving the kids! Oh, please hurry up December!
