April Currently

Hi everyone, it's Becky! I'm linking up with Farley for the April Currently! Let the fun begin!
Picture
Listening: Have you seed Married at First Sight yet?! It's on A&E, and I have to admit that we're hooked. The whole premise is intriguing and it sucks you in because you want to see if these couples really will stay married.

Loving: I think these are the best Easter Bunny pictures yet! Neither one of the boys is crying or scared, and the EB is a cute one! (Leave it to Brown's Orchard to have a cute bunny!)
Picture
Thinking: So you may be thinking that I'm a bit off of my rocker for this, but let me explain! It's all about potty training. (This may be TMI for some of you, and for that I apologize. Feel free to skip to the next category!) Urban has no problem going #1 in the potty, but he had an iron will to not go #2…no matter if it was on the potty or in a diaper. He would hold it for DAYS to the point where his stomach would hurt so bad. I'm not sure how we even figured it out, but someone we found out that having Grant, our Christmas Elf on the Shelf, come every time he had a successful #2 on the potty was enough incentive for him to do it again the next day. So, Grant has been coming pretty consecutively for a month now! YAY!!! But now that we think Urban has got it down, Grant has to go back to the North Pole. Luckily Easter is coming up, so we are going to have Santa write a letter asking for Urban to leave Grant out for the Easter Bunny to pick up on Easter Eve. The EB will drop him off at the North Pole while delivering Easter goodies for the elves. HA! The things we do as parents! #whateverworks
Picture
Grant's current hiding spot...yes he's in the refrigerator!
Wanting: Sleep! I have been a part of our districts interview team this year for new hires. It has been a great experience, but the 6:50 AM start time is not easy for a non-morning person!

Needing: Urban has finally decided that he wants a tractor birthday for his party in 2 weeks. So I need to dust off my silhouette and see what I can whip up for our big guy! I can't believe he is going to be 3 already! Where does the time go?!

Blog Name: Greg and I met in our introductory education classes at Elizabethtown College and the rest is history! We love that we are both teachers and have a sound board for each others' ideas. We truly do make each other better!

Thanks for stopping by and reading my currently! I hope you all have an amazing April and a very happy Easter!

Thanks for checking out the blog! We'll keep our fingers crossed for some extra sleep (we always have the best intentions on getting to bed early, but work always wins out).

Love Married at First Sight!! I watched the whole first season of it, but have been recording the new episodes and watching when I can. The concept of the show is really fascinating!! Have a super rest of the week!

It's funny how A&E is able to come up with such a catchy concept! Maybe they should do something with teaching! Have a great weekend!

We're excited to write a letter from Grant the elf, but we need to keep sure we keep our story straight - don't want to get him caught in a lie! Enjoy your weekend!

I love Married at First Sight! My husband and I watched the whole first season and we started the second season the other night. It's really interesting to see how they match their couples up! I love your blog name, what a sweet story!

Married at First Sight is an interesting concept, although I'm skeptical that scientific/professional judgement would win out over passion. Have a great weekend!

Good luck potty training! My sister is starting that process with her two year old [and a few months] and I feel your pain. I'll think good thoughts!

What a great idea for the Elf to help with potty training. What us moms will do to get our kids our of diapers! I have 3 kids well pass potty training but I feel your pain. What a cute idea for a blog. There was days I wish my hubby was a teacher too. At least so he would understand all my teacher craziness! Have a great rest of your week:)

That show sounds right up my alley, although I don't need another show to be sucking me in right now! I am so with you on the sleep issue right now. It definitely sounds like a rewarding experience to be on the interview team, though!

I love how the two of you met years ago in your educational classes and how you are writing a letter to Santa now. Adorable on both counts!
