The Lyon's Den

The twins will be 2 at the end of October and to my amazement this morning, I found Carter trying to climb onto the potty, diaper and all. I asked him what he was doing and he said poo poo. And I said, "do you need to go potty?" and he responded with "Potty!" So I helped him up and sure enough, he went poo poo on the potty!!! I couldn't believe it. How blessed would I be if these boys got potty trained early like Kelman. I really lucked out with one (Kelman) getting completely potty trained at 2 1/2 but to have at least one of the twins if not both that early...that would be somethin'!!

We went camping over the weekend and it was great. I have to say, by sunday afternoon, my kids had finally had enough of being dirty!!! And I admit, I had had enough of it as well. It's hard keeping track of three little guys in the wilderness. Surprisingly, the boys figured out they needed to stay close by so we didn't have to go looking too far for them. We had a ton of HUGE rocks in our campsite that the boys loved climbing and being the King of the Mountain. We also went down to the lake one day. On sunday we took a drove up to Lake Tahoe and boy was it busy up there. We found a quiet little spot to take a bike ride and picnic. There was a huge soccer field along the bike path that we played on as well. Brechin and Carter caught on to the whole sleeping bag thing rather quickly. Although, by morning Aaron or I had some little critter in our bag with us. All in all, we had a great time and we were very glad that there were showers close by.
