We need a little Christmas...
















I am determined to get Christmas planning over with this weekend. We decked the

halls today since it was a lot warmer than it has been. We put up our first ourdoor light display, and it looks pretty good considering our lack of planning! Tree is up, and Katie helped put on a couple of ornaments. Just want to get the big stuff out of the way while I can still move!

Feminist

I have noticed a pattern while ferrying Mike to and from the train station. Apparently Mike is supposed to drive the car to the station in the morning, and then I switch to the driver's seat when he gets out to wait for the train. This is reversed during the pick-up. I just do not understand why the husbands drive when they are just going to jump out of the car. Are there more treacherous roads on the way to the station that the wives are not capable of negotiating? I just think it is weird. Is is supposed to be chivalrous? Who knows.

Tricks and Treats

Last year we were not home on Halloween, so we left a bowl of candy on our porch. When we got back home, it looked untouched. This year we did the same since we went to Mike's parents house. I filled up a plastic pumpkin and attached a sign that said "HAPPY HALLOWEEN". Mike then decided to add a small sign that said, "Take some" to prevent any confusion. When we got home at 10, the pumpkin and the candy were gone. All that remained was Mike's little sign that said, "Take some".

Pumpkins and Potties











































































































Katie's new favorite book revolves around potty training. She wants to read it at least 10 times a day, but she was not showing much more interest in actually going to the potty.










I think the book could use a little work. See if you can finish this rhyme correctly...





"Off goes my diaper, Teddy sits on my lap, I wait a bit, I look inside, and then _______________________________________________________










The line is the book is then I laugh and clap. I do not know what you were thinking!










Last night during the pumpkin carving (done by the one most resembling a pumpkin right now), Katie decided she wanted to use the potty. She actually peed in the potty which was a miracle. I am sure it will not happen again for months, but maybe the book is paying off.










She also likes her new legos, and is very proud of the tower she built! She is not the only one having fun with them.










She likes to make the face the pumpkin has. We were going for suprised, but that was suprisingly difficult to achieve. I think it looks scared.
