Potty Training

I didn't know you could have two full moons!

Calvin is schooling Oliver here. "This is how you do it Oliver," Calvin says. Besides, who needs a potty when you have a perfectly good tree to pee on!


We ran out of diapers one day and I didn't want to run out to the store, so I told him no more diapers! Since Monday he has had just one accident in his pants. Luckily, it was only #1. He's still wearing diapers at night for now. But I am so proud of him, it was a lot harder and more expensive(rewards) to teach Cal! I'm waiting for the regression, it can't be this easy!

Pre School Halloween

Calvin goes to preschool at a local High School here. Students enrolled in the Child Development class use Calvin and other preschoolers as there subjects. Wednesday before Halloween, they had a party! The children walked around to various classrooms to show off their costumes and received some candy of course! Oliver was invited to attend and was excited that he was going to school with Calvin! I'm sure he like the candy prospect too!
Here Oliver dawns the whole Fireman outfit and Cowboy Calvin wore his chaps.

Here is my little Hero! He actually starts more fires than he puts out!

If you look closely, Calvin is holding his crotch. Yep he has to go to the bathroom. Or it could just be an adjustment after a long days ride!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

We went to our South African friend's (Claire&Gary) neighborhood!
It was like a block party, there was masses of people tricking for treats!

This night, Oliver decided he wanted to wear his Batman pajamas and his Firemen boots. Earlier he had his Dark Vader mask on. I let him make his own decisions when it comes to things like this, it's just easier and makes everyone happy!

Calvin was a Cowboy! He talks about his new boots and how he wishes that he could show Paxton!

Here is the whole scary clan, well actually they're all so cute!
Isn't Halloween so fun!

Clarie and I were the only festive ones who dressed up. However, I was so bummed.....I was a witch and my hat came up missing. It was in the car on the way there and then it mysteriously dissppeared? Maybe some Halloween ghost stole it from me!!! Well I find out later, as we drove off our friends found it under our car! What is a witch without her hat?

Couple of Characters

Two new-aged agents have joined the division who have an unique flare!

Meet agent Fancy Pants!

And none other, but Agent Fly Cool!

And this is there beat!

Bishops

Need I say more?

Hay ride and I mean we are sitting on hay on our way out to the pumpkin fields to find the most perfect pumpkin!

Delivery boys! They sell fresh organic squash. Don't haggle them, their serious about their vegetables!

This would make a great time out room!

While panning for marbles, Oliver got his shirt wet! He wasn't anticipating that!

Head and assistant controllers

Cal took over, he wasn't satisfied with production

Oliver found a new venue...train conducter

Pumpkin popcorn pit-stop! Party!

Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival time at our church. We kind of lagged on the picture taking this time. It was a fun event. It included a Lasagna cook off which Christi entered and won 1st place from me.
There was a variety show put on by the youth and finally a trunk or treat out in the back parking lot.

Unfortunately for Calvin no masks were allowed so his storm trooper costume was quite incomplete. Oliver shed his fireman stuff off as soon as he got his candy.

Fall Is Here

We made it out to the local (6 blocks away) pumpkin farm.
Its quick and easy and the kids always love it.

The boys seemed to like this wagon, and honestly... I kind of like the idea of it.

This year mommy and the boys went with our good friends, Jerusha Freeman and their four girls.

We usually do the tour of Apple Hill by now but we are still going to try to get up there before Thanksgiving.
