Halloween

 Our Halloween started out pretty awful.
Our niece got into a terrible car accident.
We spent the day worrying and praying.
 I was determined to have a fun day with the kids
even though my mind was elsewhere.

We headed to the Children's Museum since I had 
read they were doing something fun for Halloween.
Turns out it closed at 3.
 So then we headed to the mall because I know they
do some sort of trick or treating event for the kids.

Turns out that doesn't start until 5:30.
 So we headed to another mall (after some research)
and found something for the kids to do.
 We finally heard some positive news about Brianna's 
condition so things started to look up.
I am so thankful she survived & she should make a
full recovery given a lot of time & hard work.
  After a quick decent trick or treating run
we headed home to relax and have some dinner.
 I made French Chicken Stew in the crock pot
and we had Spanish Coffees, yum!
 We had a nice evening with Erik & Tiffani,
overall a successful Halloween, 
much better then last years debacle.
The kids had a great time & we have
enough candy to last us awhile. 
Sadly at some point Norah got a little sick?
We are pretty sure it's Mad Cow so watch out!

With two super lame parents (at least when it comes to this subject) he will be a pumpkin forever. They are all proud for not having to buy him a new costume. They have ONE child I think they are missing about a million point here.

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
