Week 5, and another thing crossed off!

This weekend was all about Ethan, since it was his 3rd birthday! We asked him what he wanted to do on Saturday, and he said 'Library!'. No clue where that came from, since we've never been there. But, it was what he wanted to do, and I wasn't going to pass up a chance to do 2 things on my list, so off we went!

Our library is AWESOME! They have an 'Enchanted Forest' in the kids' section with lots of little nooks and crannies to read in, and all sorts of literary characters. He picked a Charlie and Lola book to read, and we made it about 3/4 of the way through before he got bored. Then it was off to explore! He walked/ran all around the kids' section, and then found the train table. They have Thomas trains that you can check out and play with while you're there, so that's what we did. And it kept him occupied for the better part of an hour, so Shawn and I took turns getting library cards and browsing. We picked out 4 books for Ethan, 2 for me, and one for him, and decided that we're going to make library trips a regular family activity. :)

So Happy Birthday to my little big boy, and woohoo for something (54. Get a library card) crossed off my list!

A major goal begun...

We started potty training today. He's doing quite well, actually. I'm very proud! :) I have a feeling it's going to take a while, but that's OK. If I was in a hurry I'd have started a long time ago.

Not much else to cross off this week. Both boys have been sick, and Logan hasn't been sleeping well at all, which means I haven't been sleeping well at all. Hard to do much of anything except sit my lazy butt on the couch. Sigh.

Lazy week. Didn't do a damn thing on the list this week. *hanging head in shame* Wait, I suppose I did start my 'find a beer I like' goal - I posted a thread asking for recommendations on TK, and we tried Miller Chill tonight. Not impressed. Will have to try some of the TK recommendations this week. I'm particularly interested in one of the fruit beers from New Glarus - not sure if we can get it here, though, or if we'll have to trek to Wisconsin. (Not that it's far.) I should have looked at Woodman's today - it's a Wisconsin-based grocery store.
