Pumpkin carving

Tonight was pumpkin carving night. After throwing out one pumpkin, we got started. Colby's strong suit was clearing the guts out.


Mason's was the actual carving.

I did the carving for Colby, though she did try very hard to help. I grabbed the wrong type of pen so there's a little outlining that we can't get off. All in all, very cute pumpkins! (The orange ones and the little ones.)


As a side note, do you know how hard it is to get a picture of an almost 2yr old in low light without a flash???? Let alone getting the other one to hold still, smile and look at the camera at the same time??

Birthday party

Mason's birthday party turned out wonderfully. Most people dressed up...




All the food was yummy, though Mason's favorite ended up being the marshmellow ghost and monsters. Of course there was a pinata because what's a party without a pinata??

Just watch out for the after party, it was rough

Potty Training??

For the past week or so Colby has been grabbing herself and saying "potty". We then sit on the little potty, very briefly. Now the fact that she's grabbing herself and saying potty is super cute; I think she picked it up from Mason. The last couple of days she's been saying "poop" when she has a poopy diaper. Again still asking mutiple times throughout the day to sit on the potty. Are we really ready for potty training??? I mean she's not even 2! Mason was content to run around in a diaper so full that it was at his knees until he was almost 3. Just odd, not sure where to go from here.
