Week 3!!

Its been 3 weeks since I've started potty training Austin and I must say its been going really good! (knock on wood) :) He's so much different than Madison, in a good way....and bad. On one hand the peeing is much easier and he's gotten the hang of it really quickly. And if he does have an accident its little cause he stops and finishes in the potty. Madison just soaked everything! Going #2 is becoming a bit of a challenge, but we did make progress last night. So all in all I'm glad I started before he turned 3!!

Ok so its been pretty busy around here since Halloween. Of course the potty training takes up alot of time and energy. We tore down the wall where we have been wanting to build our computer nook. Garrett did the sheet rock and texture. We had someone come do the taping though. So its all painted and ready for a cabinet and a counter!! It looks awesome and opens up the hallway so much. Garrett really did do a great job making his vision come true!!

Austin's 3rd Birthday party was Chuggington themed. He loves those trains!! I had a great time decorating and getting creative with it all. We had a small party at the house with his buddies and family. We did a small game, colored some pages, hit a pinata, and ate hot dogs and cake. It was so relaxing!! And thank you for all the wonderful gifts!! Hope you got the pictures I sent through Walmart.

Up next is Thanksgiving and then Garrett is off to California for a business trip for 2 weeks. Not sure what we are gonna do without him. Aunt Traci and Uncle Phillip will come up for a few days to visit and that will be so nice. And thats about it here. Madison is loving school!! She's reading and spelling and just being a 5 year old girl....she loves dancing and doesn't care who is watching. I took her to the mall yesterday and she was just dancing away. It was so fun!!

Trick-or-Treat









Ok so this is two weeks late, but its here....finally!! Once again it was just me and the kiddos this year on Halloween. We met up with our friends and went trick-or-treating together. Me, her, 4 kids, and 2 hours of fun!! It was a blast. The kids really got into it this year and had a lot of fun.
