Movie Time

I found my afternoon relatively free today so after coming home for lunch the four of us went to a matinee. The boys have always enjoyed Madagascar so we went to see part 2. It was fun and the boys loved it.
After the movie we came home and had Brent and Morgan and Ilene over for dinner. Christi made a great shepherd's pie. After dinner we all went out to see Eagle Eye. Two movies in one day. It was a nice getaway.

Special Child

At preschool, they have "Special Child" which allows the parents to create a collage that tells a story of their child's life. After creating the collage, I realized, "Hey, this kid has a pretty- darn good life!" Aside from the collage, Calvin is a unique child in the sense he is so sensitive. He feels everyone's feelings around him. I think at times it's overwhelming for him and he doesn't know how to handle it. It can't be easy being so small and having so much emotion. I need to find the appropriate outlet for him. Where he can express his feelings. Wow! Is this my child or what?

Some Candids

Reflecting life while enjoying a lovely afternoon together out on the lawn.

Such pals! They share just about everything, well..... almost!

Ammon was seeing if this would take. It didn't last long, he's a bed hog!

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?
