Random Tuesday

So, I survived Monday.  And now on to Tuesday randoms.

• Have you seen one of these:

• It keeps showing up on my Facebook ads.  I guess it's called a Beardo.  It looks really creepy to me.
• We had a major success on the potty front.  Bruiser pooped in the potty at the babysitters.  This is major because anything he has done at home is harder for him to do at the sitter's.  This is one step closer to my being far less involved in his bathroom habits.  Go Bruiser!
• We are having Thanksgiving with Nick's folks.  We are still doing our own turkey on the grill--it ends up mostly smoked sort of grilled.  And totally delicious.  We will get enough side left overs from them that we won't need to make our own.  Win on both sides.
• We have had wind the last few days.  Like steady 20-25 mph with gusts to 45 mph.  It's drying out everything.  I'm not a fan of the wind. 
•  I'm already over the Christmas ads.  I guess we traded political ads for Christmas ads.  I'll admit some are cute, but most are repetitive.  I'm pretty much tired of them already.  They are better than the evil political ads but I still don't have to like them.  They also give my boys the gimmees.
• We are going to have to think long and hard over what to get the boys this year.  Turbo is earning money toward the Lego Millennium Falcon he wants so we don't have to get that for him.  I hesitate to get him just video games.  Much thinking will have to happen for Turbo.  As for Bruiser  well I'm coming up empty for gifts for him.  He doesn't need another race track, he has so many toys that were handed down from Turbo and he plays with different things than Turbo ever did.  I do think Ninjago is  something he will want and Santa will have to be creative this year.
• This morning I was getting Bruiser ready to get dressed and I grabbed his camo sweatpants. He looked at me like I was nuts when I told him he was going to be wearing sweatpants and said that he didn't want to wear them because they would make him sweat.  I had to explain that they really wouldn't unless he was overly active.

That about covers my random for the week.  Go see Stacy for more random.
