Sunday saw the Schulte's outside accomplishing some much needed yard work. The lawn got mowed which means the leaves got bagged. All I had to do was rack the leaves that had collected in the corners of the backyard and under the trailers along the south side of the house.
I like to refer to the south side of our house as the ghetto. Since this is where Matt seems to collect trailers, pieces of boards, patio blocks, an aluminum beer keg, and other misceallenous crap. He told me that this was even beginning to both HIM...that's right folks, Matt actually thought an area of his own was cluttered...write it on your calendars!
Henry was a little helper boy assisting mom in poop cleanup and helped us throw boards into the trailer to be taken to the dump. He then found one of daddy's little drills and proceeded to "drill" holes in the boards and "fix" daddy's tires on the trailer. He is a boy through and through.
Owning your own home is a lot of work! But when it is done, it can be very rewarding. I think our house looks great!!!! Now we just need to weed the yard, empty the cutters, and blah blah blah...in reality, it's never done:) right?
On some additional notes, Henry is officially sleeping in his big boy bed. We still have his crib to take down, but mama has decided that Henry is very capable and will continue to sleep in his bed. He loves his Toy Story sheets and pillow and sleeps surrounded by llama llama, pooh bear, woody, a teddy bear, and rex, the dinosaur.
Henry is also using the potty consistently. We have a period of time everyday that is potty time and working up to longer intervals. He does well about going on the potty and really enjoys wearing big boy underwear. He will even occasional tell us that he has to go! We are taking it slow and letting him lead, but I think he's doing fabulously!!!!
Lastly, we bought a new vehicle!!!!! Finally, mama has enough room for her boys, dogs, and junk. Last week, Matt and I bought a 2007 Saturn Outlook. It's similiar to the GMA Acadia and Chevy Traverse. It is all wheel drive and gets great gas mileage, plus it's got an amazing third rown seat. We are very happy with it so far!!!
That's all for now!!!
I was trying to get Henry to lay in the leaves but he was more facinated with playing with them....
Note: After Henry put the dough in the pan, he ate the entire section of dough, raw! Gross, I know. He's OK and hasn't suffered any lasting damage...Oh wait, maybe that's why the godzilla, helicopter arms, whining brat still inherits my sweet little boys body.
