Leaves - Fall clean up

Tessa was taking a morning nap, and Lisa was outside mowing the lawn.  I went out to help rake, then Loni came out with Koen and he headed right for the pile of leaves.  Here are a few of the photos...

Major New Development

Big News!  This morning when I was changing Koen's diaper he started to pee just a teeny bit.  So, I decided to take him into the bathroom and have him stand on an upside down laundry basket in front of the throne.  Sure enough, after a little suggestion, Koen peed in the toilet!!!!  I am so proud of him!!!  I have tried on several occasions prior to this morning to get him to try it, but either he hasn't had to go, or he just wasn't sure what to do.  Hopefully Mr. Big Boy will want to try it again!  Time to buy a stool for the bathroom.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Koen is a mouse and Tessa is a butterfly.  Tessa was a little more comfortable in her costume than Koen.  Spencer is behind us on the right in the family photo.

SLEEP!!!

Last Monday and Tuesday night the kids were up half the night.  Thankfully, Lisa switched their naps around and it seems to have worked!  The last 2 nights both kids have slept through the night!!!  Hallelujah!!!  I hope it stays that way.  Cross your fingers!!!
