October!

The weather was awesome today! A little break from the rain and cool weather equals a trip to the Pumpkin Patch! We had a ball! We normally have Small Group at our house on Sunday nights, but we didn’t have it tonight–so we had some family fun! Landry and Isabella both loved the hayride, and they loved getting to fill our wagons up with the pumpkins they wanted to buy! Of course when I mentioned that one of the types of pumpkins we saw was called “Cinderella Pumpkins”  –Isabella was hooked! That was the kind she wanted! She loves all of the Disney princesses! Cinderella and Belle are a tie for first love! So we left with lots of pumpkins,  gourds, squash–all kinds of great fall stuff! DId I mention that I love this time of year?

Landry is all pottytrained! Special thanks to my friend Tori–when I told her how well he did with using the potty, she encouraged me to just start putting underwear on him all of the time! And the next day we did! And that was the day he was pottytrained! (Sept 30–just for my records!) He did unbelievable! He has had just a few accidents –It has really been amazing! We will start on Isabella next–we keep saying “maybe next week”! She is as smart as she can be–I am just not sure she is ready to be pottytrained!

Isabella and Landry both love playing school-it is so cute! They have actually learned most all of their shapes this way! They can not draw them all— but they can say them! They can draw a line and circle–and pretend to draw a triangle, square, oval, and rectangle! Isabella loves for us to read to her–especially “the cat in the hat”! They love the same foods as last post but now we can add reeces peanut butter cups to the list! They love them! They also love baking cookies (we do slice and bake–does that count?) and putting m&ms in them!

Hope you are all doing great! Remember that October is Child Abuse Prevention month and say a prayer for all of those precious children!
