so i think i will continue the blog (this is renee)

well funny story from last night. Rob is out of town and i was cleaning the bathroom at about 10 pm and i heard Ethan crying which usually indicates that he has to go to the bathroom or he has already gone. so i get him and a and at first dont see anything wet so we walk to the bathroom. i help him take down his pants (he is usually too tired to do anything on his own and really out of it.) i notice his underwear are wet his pants had only a tiny wet spot. i was a little baffaled because when asked if he still had to go he said no. i went and got him some new clothes and then inspected his bed to find it dry. i thought i would check the floor for wet spots (luckily i had gloves on which i use to clean the bathroom) and i found one finally. apparently vents in the floor are toilets because all around the vent and inside the vent were full of pee. who knew. so i had a big clean up job. he had to pull down his pants while sleeping to accopmplish this. amazing i know. i cleaned out the vent as best as i could. i hope all winter we dont have the smell of pee in his room from this. i guess i need to clean the carpets again. one more thing on the list i guess.

we went paintballing on saturday. it it was so much fun. i have the most hideous battle wound that i have ever seen from a paint ball. it is about the size of my palm and at first made a target print on my leg with the initial paint ball spot in the middle followed by a white spot followed by a red ring and then it faded to blue and purple. now it is like a donut with a very dark purple, blue and black brusie with a small red spot in the middle. it is hard to explain i will try to put up pictures but no promises. my thighs arent what they used to be. it was fun though to paint ball. now Ethan runs around with the neighbor boys with buckets for helmets and part of a mat for a gun and occasionally they put on camo pajamas and say they are paintballing. it is a sight to see. kaylee gets in the action too sometimes.

Kaylee is pretty much potty trained and she turned 2 in june. it is really nice. she wears diapers at night but other than that and longer outings she is in underwear. she is such a funny girl. she tried to ride a trike down our neighbors driveway being the little daredevil she is and crashed at the bottom. luckily no blood just tiny scrapes. i am sure she will be back at it again soon enough. she will be the one to give me a heart attack. she is fearless.

Taylor is great minus not letting me have chocolate or milk. they tend to bother her stomach while she eats and i dont have the patience to put up with a crying baby for an hour so they are virtually eliminated from my diet. it is hard.

anyway, life is good and i am blessed with a great husband and family

till next time.....
