For those who haven’t heard the big news in the Susong house…  Parker is potty training!!  WOO HOO.  It is acutally going really well, and it looks like he is going to catch on really quickly.  We had to bribe him by letting him pick his own potty chair (I had hoped we could skip the potty chair, but no luck…),  of course being my son; He picked the most expensive chair.  It has sound effects, infared lights that detect, um, action…  But it seems to done the job.  He’s doing really well at it. 

On a seperate front, I have the ground around our patio all torn up.  I was pulling some vine-like things that were going and I hit something hard with the shovel.   I was hoping it was the enterance to a treasure room like in National Treasure, but no luck…  It was instead about 10 or 12 square concrete pavers that had appearantly been set and then neglected.  They were covered with and inch or so of dirt, and have these vines (which turned out to be Wintergreeen Littleleaf Korean Buxus) growing all over them.  I’m in the process of removing them all right now, so we can sow some grass.  Fun times…  You just never know what you will dig up in the yard of a 50 year old home.  Good times…
