It was a busy week last week. We were gearing up for our garage sale. I spent a lot of time out in our shed while the boys were napping going through all of our stuff last week. It was a beautiful week, so I actually didn't mind being outside. The garage sale went okay. We only made $80, which I'm not sure was worth the effort. We did have to compete with a big subdivision sale, so I think that kind of hurt us. Oh well though. It was a beautiful Saturday for Jon and I to be outside with the boys, so we didn't mind.

We think Justus is getting close to ready for potty training. He will sometimes take his diaper off when it is wet, and when he is stinky he will usually tell us. It would be wonderful to start potty training soon, but we are going to wait for Justus to give us more signs that he is ready. We want it to be as easy and enjoyable for everyone as possible. Other than that Justus is doing well. He is starting to use more words, which is nice although he still whines quite a bit. We know we will get there eventually though.

Matthias is officially off of formula. We finished up the last little bit that we had and now he is drinking straight milk. He is adjusting pretty well, but we think his tummy isn't liking the change. He seems to be having a rougher time going poo lately, so if the problem continues we will talk to the boys doctor about it.

Matthias really loves being outside. He loves just crawling around in the backyard and attempting to play with brother. Our neighbor has a swing set and a slide that she lets us use (since her son is 18 and just left for college). The boys love it! Justus loves to climb the ladder and go down the slide, and he also loves swinging in a big boy swing. Matthias just likes watching and crawling around the base of the slide.

There isn't much else going on. I will have to post some pictures when I get the chance!
