Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween and I'm hoping that everyone has a great one! We went to Sheri-Lynne's for a Halloween party. It was fun. I was reminded of how youngsters act when they are excited...they are loud, rambuncious and they don't listen very well. I left the party with a headache, but it was worth it because we all had fun and we all dressed up. We haven't decided if we are going to to "Trick or Treating." If we do, Greyson will be a construction worker (it requires no face paint). The following pictures are a little out of order...but I hope you enjoy.

Meow!


Arrr!

ABC

Greyson decided he wanted to play with his magnet school tonight. I decided that I should document it so that Greyson's Aunt Jen could see that he does play with the present she bought him. The magnet school has both letters and numbers. Greyson has become very good with his letters but his numbers and counting are lagging. So I took out the numbers and put them on the frig, hopefully he'll start to play with those just as much as the letters and get a little better with them. This mom is getting her boy ready for preschool...he's on his way.






Poop on the Potty!


Greyson went poop on the big boy potty! I was very excited. He didn't ask to go but he went when I put him on there (which is a step in the right direction because usually he says no when I ask him if he wants to go on the big boy potty). Since then he hasn't wanted to go, but I'm still proud of this step that he took. He's a big boy!

Our Day At the Farm

Today our MOPS group went to A Day at the Farm. It was the perfect day for it; true fall weather. We walked around the farm and pet the animals, the kids learned how to make butter (Greyson preferred to play on the playground), we went for a hay ride and then ate lunch. We had such a good turn out (bummed that everyone left before we were able to get a good group picture). It was a nice Columbus day spent as a family. Enjoy.
