All about the "D"

For almost 3 weeks now, we've been trying to potty train our cute, little Micah-man.  He's about the same age that Sammy was when we began to potty train him, so we figured we might as well give it a try and hope for the best!  He's been doing really well and is getting really good at telling us when its "pee-pee time!"  :)  He's super proud of himself every time he goes, and loves to flush the big potty all by himself.  

 So, we've resorted to wearing nothing down below while we're at home, and that has worked out great!  

 We're so proud of you Micah!  Great job, little buddy!  

We'll keep you posted on his progress!

Sorry for the delay in posting these - but better late than never!  

Here are some Fall Photos to catch you up on what we've been up to... plus Halloween pics!  

Every year we make a trip to Bates Nut Farm to pick out some pumpkins.  :)  Plus, the kids had fun in the jumpy house, petting and feeding the animals and riding in the big wheelbarrows.  :)  

 hehe!

At home, Andrew and Samuel had fun carving our pumpkin...  Samuel drew the face and helped scoop out all of the pulp and seeds.

This is Samuel's scary pumpkin face  :) 

All finished and lit up!  

At school, there was a Halloween dress-up day & parade.  Here is Sam and two of his buddies, Noah & Milo.  

My handsome pirate!  

On Halloween, Samuel dressed up like an awesome Pirate, and Micah dressed up like Jake from Jake & the Neverland Pirates.  :)  (Love that I was able to make Micah's costume with some felt & stuff on hand... ended up spending less than $3 for his whole costume!)  Pretty good, huh?  

All the kiddos, ready to go!  

 What a special moment to have the whole family gathered around the table to share a meal together.  :)
