Potty training?

Everyone asks me "so, how is it having 3?" and really, so far life around here is going pretty good. I mean, we have our rough moments, hours, and days :) but for the most part we're doing pretty good. I have been attempting to potty train James but it's not going too well. He loves to wear his big boy underwear and he will tee tee pretty much any time I sit him on the potty but he's yet to actually tell me he has to go, so we're just being pretty casual about it right now. Like today the boys played outside all morning and it's pretty chilly so I had them bundled up and James in a diaper because I wasn't up to undressing and taking him in to potty every 15 minutes - sometime I feel like I'm the one that is being "trained"!
The boys have really started to form their partnership in crime and keep me on my toes. I've found that there is not one safe spot to put things in their rooms that they can't climb on or open to get to. We've had entire book shelves emptied and bottles of lotions smeared all over their faces when left alone too long in their room. James has also started waking up in the morning and climbing in to the crib with John-Mark to "chat". It really doesn't bother me too much because it keeps them from yelling for mommy too early :)
Gracie is getting sweeter and sweeter by the day - she's finally started to give us lots of grinners which I LOVE! I love going to get her in the morning because she always give me the biggest smile and is always in such a happy mood when she gets up. We've gone back and compared her baby pics with the boys and she definitely looks most like James. (I'll have to post a comparison for you all to see). I wonder if she will have hair as white as his is!?!
We've had some nice weather which has been nice to be able to get out of the house more. The boys love to play in the dirt all day and then come in and ask to take a bubble bath :) Love it! I'm ready for weeks of sunny 60 degree weather to come our way!
Our church is starting small groups up again next week and I look forward to getting back in to regular play groups and bible study with other women. We've been laying low since Gracie was born but it's time to get back out and fill our weekdays with fun at parks, the zoo and more!
Here are some pics from our week:
Lefty pitcher maybe? :)
John-Mark is serious when he's playing in the dirt :)
Hi pretty girl!!
The boys really do love to give their baby "sisser" kisses - s0 sweet - Gracie looks a little unsure :)
The first time I pulled out James' new big boy underwear he put it on his head and called it a hat - how do boys just know to do this kind of stuff!?! Do little girls automatically put panties on thier head - guess I'll find out soon enough but I don't remember doing things like that.
