on the way to the big boat

we have been telling mason and sawyer that we were going to go on a big boat right after christmas and before their birthday for a long time. we have also been getting ready for this trip for a long time. in preparation for the kids play area (they had to be 3 and potty trained to go), i started potty training them back in june. i was hoping and praying that they would be potty trained by now if i started that far in advance. sawyer is pretty much potty trained. she doesn't always do as well though if she is with people she doesn't know and doesn't feel comfortable. mason... he still poops in his underwear and pees in his pants. a lot. so at the beginning of december as a last ditch effort we started a potty sticker chart reward system. we stocked up on fun $5-10 toys that the kids really like. we went ahead and decided to do one for sawyer too even though she never poops in her underwear, but we didn't want her to feel left out. the potty chart helped a lot. a whole lot. he still has accidents but the number of poopy underwear is way down. thank the lord.

we left a couple days early to break our trip up. we stayed in austin one night and then headed to galveston the next day. when we were in austin lauren and curtis were there too! so we met up to eat lunch :) it always great when we are there at the same time. it would be better if we lived in the same place, but i will take what i can get :)
