No more diapers!!

I am not sure why potty training my kids is so easy...but they both caught on very quickly. Nicole was fully potty-trained at 18 months. Nathan is now 25 months and fully potty-trained. Even through the night! So I guess everyone was right when they say boys take a little longer to potty-train. He is doing so great, and ussually goes potty by himself. I hear him going into the bathroom saying, "potty toilet, potty toilet" and so I ussually follow him to make sure he gets it okay. But sometimes I won't hear him until he comes to me and says, "pee toilet." This is him telling me he aleady went, wiped the seat, pulled up his underwear and pants, and flushed the toilet. What a GOOD BOY!!!
This is what happened once when I told him to get his underwear back on after going potty. He thought it was pretty funny...so did I...





HOORAY!

Happy Halloween!


Our Halloween festivities started out with our ward trunk-or-treat! Nicole and Nathan really enjoyed seeing all the different costumes. Nathan loved to show off his tiger GRRRRRR and Nicole shared her witch HEH HEH HEH with many!





















Carving the jack-o-lantern with Dad! Nathan didn't want to touch the insides, but Nicole wasn't afraid to get her hands gooey!










We went to Dad's work (Melaleuca) the day before Halloween and went through their annual halloween-decorated building. Nicole's highlight of that was getting her picture taken with Darth Vader!








Trick-or-treating Halloween night. We just went to each next-door neighbor after going to Grandma Fransen's ward trunk-or-treat.
