No Joke..one of the most amazing amazing things you have ever heard of has happened at my Happy Home..and no I am not talking about my blog I am talking about Ladybug who is a whopping 20 months old has decided to potty train herself…NO i am NOT kidding! You see we have been cleaning out our attic in Lieu of our impending move and a mouse problem! So we brought down the potty we bought for TORNADO (he is still not fully Potty trained but he is getting there) We decided to set it in the bathroom and see if she took to it..and boy did she…She’ll go right in use it and then clap for herself when she is done! AMAZING..We don’t have to reward her or anything she even praises herself..She is so funny. We weren’t sure when it all started if Tornado was using it. Pee mysteriously showed up in the potty twice…we have a sneaky pee-er..how funny..We still praise her but it was really hard at first because we didn’t know if it was her!
Ok so here it is..I have not blogged in two weeks. It has been a long two weeks ! Here’s what has been happening in our neck of the woods! First off Hubby’s brother and sister in law moved to Florida 2 weeks ago.. HT and Sugar are very much missed in our home as they were regular fixtures for lots of things! they are very missed….then there is life with toddlers and especially one who is being potty trained! Then there is Easter…we went away to my parents house and hubby got sick. We think with the flu. I am kind of sick…Where you feel yucky but you never quite get the full blown illness…I have had my flu shot and so has Tornado and Ladybug…..but Vug…he is another story and he has quite the cough..Please pray for him.. And that leads us to today! In other areas here are a few things that I have been meaning to write about! About a month ago we had a family trip to visit Aunt P…she later sent me some gifts..They were great and still are..They are some of my favorite socks..Now who can guess why? 
Then there is the UB Party! I had a blast but I definitely didn’t do as much party hopping as i hoped. Life gets crazy! But in the parties that i did visit i did manage to win 2 yes 2 prizes. I won this bow from Linda at Ribbon Rockstar
And then I also won a $25 gift certificate from Trilei Jewelry courtesy of Angie From the Downtown Boutique In which I hope to be able to get this gorgeous necklace! 
How great is all of this but yet there is one more wonderful thing that arrived via UPS at my front door yesterday. My sweet hubby got me this cute set of PJ’s from PajamaGram.com
Minus the girl of course! This extra special Pampering comes as a birthday present. My birthday is next Monday! Thanks honey…I love you too! So all in all I guess you could say it’s been one big Happy Birthday Month for me…And my birthday is the very last day of the month!
Well today was a sad day. After one year of living 15 minutes away from Hubby’s brother and sister in law we said good-bye. HT and Sugar are moving to Florida and they leave tomorrow. they have been such sweet friends. We have hung out a lot and they have been such an encouragement to Hubby and I! We will miss them emensly! They watched their nephews and niece for the last time while hubby and I had a chance to go out for lunch together. HT and Sugar please know that you are loved and that you will be missed. It was such fun for me to have you guys over..for laundry days and 24 marathons and as Tornado puts it Pete Tom Rav rav eat Petsa…watch ball! We love you guys!
wow I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I last posted! It’s been extremely busy! I am no longer sick. Praise the Lord. I was beginning to be sick of being sick! I have been tired a lot so I have been trying to hit the sack early. I am very thankful that Tornado and Lady bug Play very well in their room while I try to get some other work around the house done!
We have also totally rearranged our house over the last month. Lady bug has begun to sleep in a toddler bed at night so she and tornado now share a room.! However I can’t imagine what nap time would be like.
So back to my title. Tornado scaled a gate this morning into our den and found a bag full of Candy that Ht and Rav rav sent home with us on Friday night…That would be his aunt and uncle who live 15 minutes away..He opened a piece and was having trouble with the paper when I found him..so I finished helping him and we went back to the kitchen where I made breakfast for him…As I lifted him into his booster seat He wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me a big hug and a very sticky kiss. It made me smile and think how wonderful it was to be loved so unconditionally. Many people who don’t have kids tend to think about how much trouble they can be..but what they are missing is the wonderful joy that kids bring to people’s lives because never can there be a simpler more unconditional love..It is so pure, and uncontaminated! It makes you smile with out realizing it. And then if you are a believer in Jesus Christ you see a unique picture of Jesus’ unconditional love and forgiveness. I can’t think of a better example that a child’s hug and a sticky kiss!
