Potty training nightmare

We tried to work on potty training this weekend with Brandon...it did not go the best. We went out and got him these cute big boy Elmo underwear and he was SO excited to wear them and even more excited when he had them on; but needless to say he peed on the living room floor right after he went in the big boy potty! So, we decided yesterday (Sunday) that we were going to try a different approach and we told him that we were all out of diapers and that he had to go on the big boy potty and then we put him in some long pants and tucked the pant leg into his socks and shoes so if he peed he wouldn't like it...WRONG!!! He did pee in his pants and it did travel down the leg into the shoes but all he did was say yucky and walk funny! Later that night he peed all down my grandma's hallway of her house (sorry again grandma). Allen and I just don't know what to do...any suggestions??? I wish kids just came potty trained!! :)
On a happier note, Jacob crawled for the first time on Saturday!!! He also now says "Mama"! He is still very much a daddy's boy but yet his first word was mama! I hope all is well for everyone...I will try to post again soon and put some pictures up.

We enjoy having the boys visit even if Brandon does accidently pee on our carpet. It will clean. Also love watching Jacob trying to crawl or is it fly?????
You ar a great mother and Allen is a great dad. You will have many trials in your journey with your boys. This is one simple hurdle. Wish you luck with it. I was not very successful at it, but things work out. Good luck. Lots of love
