If you make a poopy mess...YOU are going to have to clean it up!

Between 19 and 22 months Zachary was doing really well with his potty training.  Unfortunately, Murray and I got lazy and Zachary lost interest and now we are back to square one.  We have to really work to convince him to try to go.  This summer we are really going to try to work hard at it again, maybe he will be trained before the baby comes.

Murray the J-Man

Well after 7 months of hard work... my husband is now offically a Journeyman Electrician.  

He has spent most of his evenings and weekends studying, taken days off of work to drive to Nait to do labs and write supervised exams, but now it is all done and I couldn't be more proud of him!  In the last few weeks when he was just about to finish Murray had an interesting job offer presented to him, so he had to make a few career decisions as well.  Not a bad position to be in but it was pretty stressful.  I swear he was aging right before my eyes! In the end he has decided to stay with the company he is currently working for.  A decision that will keep him closer to home, closer to his family, rather than away working.

Needless to say, the last month around our house has been hectic (thats why there have been no posts lately).  Murray has been focusing on finishing his course at Nait and writing his Branch exam.  I have been busy at school with all of the end of the year stuff and helping out at a local greenhouse working on the weekends. Now that the end of May is in sight and June is approaching it feels like we can relax a little.

Here are a few Zach photos from the past few weeks.

WORMS!

Had a chance to work in the garden a little bit this weekend.  Zachary enjoyed digging for worms.  After he found a worm he liked to take them for a walk around the yard.

Yes, he dresses himself to go outside.  We tried to tell him that he didn't need a scarf but he insisted.

Z: Go worm...slide. I help you?

Me: I don't think worms like slides Zachary

Happy Monday!

What is the dumbest thing you have ever done?

How about driving your month old brand new vehicle into the side of your garage?

That's what I did Friday afternoon.  I was so upset afterward I spend an hour throwing up, I still get a little nauseous whenever I think about it.  I can't believe it happened!  I feel sooooo dumb.  I have a couple excuses, things that led up to the crash, but really it was just stupidity at its best.  No one was hurt thankfully, but really how fast are you going when you are pulling into your parking spot?

Tomorrow morning Murray is going to take the vehicle in to get an estimate...I don't even want to know.

Needless to say I have been feeling a little low these past few days. I am hoping that confessing on my blog and hearing other people's confessions will make me feel a little better, so if you have something to share I would appreciate it.

Happy Sunday!
