In The Last Little While...

At the Fair a few weeks ago, I bought a couple of Orange rolls. They're so good so I decided to make some. Life is wonderful when you have a Bosch, and they turned out so good.

A while ago I needed something sweet. I usually keep some form of chocolate/candy in the house for this reason but I had nothing and got desperate. Since we are on a time of use plan, I couldn't use my oven, so I made No Bake Cookies. I had to post a picture because I always used to make these in high school and my sisters hated it. They would never eat them although they admitted they tasted good. They couldn't get passed the fact that they looked like turds.

Last weekend we went to a train park with Connie and family. It was so awesome and we didn't even get to do everything before we left. I was having so much fun that I only took a few pictures. It is a great place and we'll be going back again soon! There was a train that rode you all around the park, a huge playground for the kids, a carousel, ice cream, and this big train exhibit thing below. It was a lot of fun, can't wait to go back.

I attempted to potty train Marcelus again. I started off letting him roam around naked. He was doing great until he decided he could just pee on the floor without too much trouble. Then I put him in underwear so he'd be accountable and wet. His Disney/Pixar underwear are so cool, he'd wet in them just so he could wear a new pair. After all, how can you choose between Buzz and Incredibles? He had a hard time leaving his movies to use the toilet too...the good things about it? I know he's close. He communicated great and told me "I know" after I told him he couldn't potty in his underwear. He would also tell me he was sorry which melted my heart. He knows what I want him to do, he just isn't 100% committed yet, so I decided to wait until he is. Another great thing is that he wasn't afraid to try #2 in the toilet, he tried to get there but kind of was too late. Also, he started just peeing standing up. Sometimes he would still choose to sit down. I would always ask him when we went in "Do you want to sit or stand?" Anyway, Marce liked to wear his underwear backwards so he could see the picture. Pick your battles people...
