If you know the band The Killers you'd get the title of this blog....if not, then oh well. The point is we love this band and were so excited to actually go and see them in concert on Thursday night!!!! Brian sent me an e-mail at work on Tuesday to say The Killers were going to be playing in Ypsilanti, MI on Thursday night and he could get tickets. My mom said she could watch the kids so we got tickets and headed up as soon as work was done. So, we were probably on the older end of the age group attending this concert but it was so fun to get out and see a live band again like we used to do all the time in college. They put on quite a show and even though I was soooo tired at work on Friday it was really worth going.
Now, an update on our water situation....yes, we have water again...for the most part. The plumbers got here late last Sunday night and could repair the pipes under our pantry, right where the crawlspace starts and is about 2 feet high. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no access to the pipes under our downstairs bathroom unless you are a foot tall and a contortionist. So we either have to rip up the bathroom floor or excavate under the foundation and build an access door.....awesome. We therefore just told them to shut the water off to the downstairs bathroom so we could at least have water in the rest of the house until we can get the work done. We had problems with pipes freezing when I was growing up too, but it's much different when you can just go into the basement to fix things. I'm just glad I don't have to go down into the crawlspace....yikes!!!
On a good note, Ian is starting to show an interest in potty training now! He does not want to go on the little potty we bought him but he really likes sitting on the "big potty" before he gets in the bath at night and sometimes even tells us if he needs to go at other times. They also sit him on the potty at daycare so that really helps too. Ian is very much a "do-it-my-way-and-on-my-schedule" little person so we'll see how things progress.
That's all for now.....sorry there were no pictures...next time maybe!!

We had much better success on the big potty with Benny as well. The bonus is that you don't have to clean it!
Also, I think boys will decide when they are ready. Benny was the same way. When he finally decided it was time, there really was no 'training' involved. He just did it.
Anyway, good luck!
Drew was all about the big potty too. We had a little cushiony seat that we put on top of the potty so he wouldn't fall in. If he's showing interest and already telling you sometimes when he needs to go, it shouldn't take long.
Fun you went to the Killers concert. Even though we only saw David Cook perform 2 songs in Vegas it was still cool to see music live. Hadn't done that in a long time.
