Halloween Party

I have been potty training Ryan this past week. He's doing pretty good and I haven't done much. Since this is the third attempt he already knows how to pee in the toilet so I didn't have to do much there. The first few days I was just having him pee regularly because I didn't want to deal with accidents but then I decided I needed to see if he actually understood the urges and would act on them. I bought some juice and pumped him full and then waited to see if he would tell me. Miraculously he did! I did that for a few more days and he's got that part down. He will come and tell me when he needs to pee. Music to my ears! Finally! He still poops in his underwear everyday. I'm hoping he will figure that out soon. He is very resistant to do it on the toilet (as most kids tend to be) so we still have to jump that hurdle. He wakes up wet every morning as well. I think he is trying his best to keep my humble. Ha. My other kids were trained day and night at 2 1/2 and Ryan is 3 this week and may have to do the pull up. Oh well!

The kids had Thursday and Friday off of school. That can make for some LONG days. We went to Camelback park on Friday. The weather was beautiful and Corbin, Gabby, and I did a little hike while Scott watched the other kids play at the park.

Yesterday we went to a Halloween party. My friend went ALL out. They had a bounce house, face painting, pumpkin hunt, and pumpkin painting. The food was yummy too. It was someone from my book club that invited us so we didn't know most of the people there so that was kind of awkward but it was still fun and the kids didn't seem to mind. It was a good time and the weather was beautiful and my friend has an amazing backyard so it was all good.

View from our hike. I love the red leaves!

I'm running away from the headless horseman. Ha. Or not. I'm the worst! 

There's a sneaky ninja behind me.

Sooo cute!
