Potty Training and Birthdays

About a week ago we started potty traing cameron. It's true, boys are harder than girls. I think it will be a long process :/ Longer than it was with Mackenzie. To help him, we let him pick out his own potty. A bright green frog. And he picked out a pack of big boy underwear, Thomas the train. He loves wearing them and sitting on his potty. I think that's the only thing that has gotten us this far.

Also, Cameron will be 3 in a month! He decided he wants a Disney Cars birthday, at the bowling alley. So it's scheduled, on his birthday. It falls on a Saturday and how often does anyone get to have their party on their actual birthday?! 

The kids have been doing coloring pages about lent. We're doing a Lenten adventure activity everyday through lent. They seem to really enjoy it. After they're done, we're using the activities and making them each a book about lent and Easter. Mackenzie is really excited to finish it and have her book made.

I have also been doing some early shopping for Easter basket items. Mackenzie asked for a cross necklace and I think she'll love the one I found for her.

I have also found an Easter story, story book and coloring book for each of them from a great company called The Carholic Company. They have a ton of resources for anything you can think of. I also got a small pocket booklet to help teach the kids how to pray the rosary. 

Have a great day and lent! It's time to do today's Lenten adventure pages!
