Making Progress!

We have been dabbling in the potty training mode off and on.  He just hasn't really been into it and I known from experience if they aren't into it you might as well forget it!  When we first started he was terrified of sitting on the toilet even with the McQueen potty seat that goes on top of the normal toilet.  The other day he wanted to sit on the potty!!!  He has also started telling us he wants his diaper changed...so who know maybe we are on the road to being potty trained!!  Time will tell!

We make up our own fun!!!

The other day it was cold and yucky outside and all 3 of us were getting bored so we decided to come up with our own fun!  It consisted of a cardboard box, a laundry basket, and a belt...who knew these items could be this much fun!?

Driving Already!!!???

Okay, not really driving, but Hollis and I went out to the van so that I could nurse him while we were at the pumpkin patch.  Clayton and Daddy stayed and played a game.  When I finished feeding him, and we were waiting for them to come out to the car I sat him over in the drivers seat and he knew just what to do!  :)  Too cute!

Big Boy Seat!

Hollis is officially sitting at the big table with us now!  He was getting too big to sit in the pumpkin seat and eat, and he kept trying to sit up anyway because he didn't like laying back.  So we pulled out the "big boy seat" with the tray and he now eats at the table.  I can't believe how big my sweet Hollis is getting and how fast it goes.  Time sure does fly when you are having fun!!!

We've Been "Ghosted"

I love our neighborhood and one my favorite things that we do in our neighborhood is "ghosting".  Every year in October someone starts the "ghosting".  They ring your doorbell and run off leaving behind a special Halloween treat!  You then post a ghost on your front door so that everyone knows you have been ghosted and you turn around and ghost two other neighbors, leaving them a poem and a copy of the ghost to put on their door. Hopefully the end result is that everyone in the neighborhood gets ghosted!

A Trip To Mayse Farm

It was such a beautiful day, Scott and I decided to take the boys to Mayse Farm to the pumpkin patch.  I hadn't been to Mayse in forever...it is really, really nice!  They had so much for the kids to do, Clayton was in absolute heaven!!!  They had a "diamond dig" which was a bin full of corn for the kids to dig through and find "diamonds, then had great big tubes that you could get in and roll down a track, a water pump and track to race rubber ducks, a pumpkin sling shot, a maze, and huge slide, hayrides, tunnels, and much, much more.  We had a wonderful day!  I am pretty sure Clayton's favorite part was going through the tunnels and racing the ducks.  He played so hard, when he finally sat down he sucked down two juice boxes he was so thirsty! Hollis just took it all in, however next year he will be busy running around himself! I have been to many pumpkin patches and this was by far my favorite!  This will definitely be added to our yearly traditions.

Beautiful Blessings!

We were outside on a beautiful fall day playing on the swing set and I couldn't help but thank God for my beautiful blessings both great and small.  Life is so very fragile and I think often times we forget to sit back, breathe, and take in the beautiful blessings that we have been given.  Here are my greatest, most precious blessings...
