Isle of palms weekend

Bryan and I took a two night trip (no kids) to the isle of palms with a few friends. We had so much fun! The boys spent Friday and half of Saturday with Bryan's parents and Saturday night until we returned Sunday with my mama and daddy.....thanks grandparents for letting us go with no worries about our kids! Here are a few pictures (I stole from Mandy) of our fun weekend.

Painting

We've decided to paint! Hoping that we only paint the bookshelves and bunk beds....I'm a little nervous we may end up painting the wood floors.

Biore pore strips

Yeah, sometimes we're a little strange but it's so much fun!

Nate the golfer

Nate shows great sportsmanship! He is never a sore loser nor an obnoxious winner. Here he is getting a trophy at the Coogler Memorial Golf Tournament today. I'm so proud of you Nate!

Goodbye Fienbergs

We said goodbye to a sweet friend today. Colin, Gianna, Allie Ron and Barbara are moving to Louisiana. We're going to miss you guys!

Oh yeah!

This just may be working!

Henry's getting into it

Henry is just excited about prizes as Luke (maybe more) and this book did the trick!

Potty prizes

Luke got his first present for pooping. I'm not going to mention that I stayed in the bathroom at the clubhouse with him waiting while everyone else was swimming for at least half an hour. Whatever it takes, right?

What better way to end the evening

Than a rousing game of don't break the ice! Henry just lost to both his brothers!

When all else fails, resort to bribery

Sweet little Luke...he is one tough cookie when it comes to going to the potty. I won't go into great detail here but basically he wants to be the first human who never goes #2. He doesn't want to stop what he's doing long enough to go. I haven't worried too much about it really, he's #3 and by that point you have the philosophy of 'this too shall pass' and I'm sure he will be a super pooper by the time he hits middle school. But I thought, bribery worked great with Nate and Henry when I wanted them to sleep in their bed all night so maybe it will work here. No charts with stickers or stars, I want immediate gratification. So I have gift wrapped a dozen cheap gifts and every day, if Luke poops in the potty, he can choose a prize. we shall see.....

Shoot!

We have a real basketball goal and guys couldn't be more excited!

Did the boys get ahold of the iPad or what?

Some silly pictures I just discovered. Thought I'd share

Happy 4th of July

We've got our fireworks!
