What's new?

1. Spring Break -- The kids and I are on spring break this week. My mom has the same spring break as we do for the first time since she moved here, so we'll be hitting up all the kiddie pools, Chick-fil-a's, and playgrounds together this year. Maybe the mound of laundry that is taking over the living room will get done. Maybe it won't.

2. Mr. CIO -- Jay started his new job this week as the CIO for the Department of Business and Professional Regulations. My first task as Mrs. CIO is to decorate his unusually large office. Any excuse to shop sounds like a good excuse to me.

3. Dreamhouse -- I think I found my dreamhouse on three acres in the north end of town. Unfortunately, we are the proud owners of not one, but two other pesky home mortgages, so here we shall probably stay for the time being.

4. Potty Candy -- We are knee deep in potty-training and have strange things like ziploc bags with "potty candy" written on them in black Sharpie marker. We also have a froggy potty seat sitting in our living room. He's doing well, but absolutely will NOT use any potty other than the froggy potty. The school will not allow the froggy potty to join their class, so he holds it all day long and then sits on the froggy potty for the majority of the afternoon. Sigh.
