Highlights

I'm behind in my blogging, so I thought I'd do some quick highlights from the week...

Road Builders

Last Saturday, Evan and Asher took out ALL the DVDs and made roads out of them. It was such a mess, but it kept them busy for SO long. They loved it! And they were so cute playing together so well.

Getting Creative with the Fridge

The fridge latch I purchased (see this post) only worked for about two days before Asher had it figured out. I came downstairs to another chocolate covered face and decided something HAD to be done. So, I came up with this:

It's pretty ghetto, but it works! :)

The big PT!

Potty training is so. much. fun.

On Tuesday, I started potty training Asher. He didn't pee in the toilet one single time that day, but he did go #2, which was a start I guess. After the day was over, I figured we'd have to give up and try again later. I tried another day, though, and he did really well! So we kept going. Today was day 6 of potty training and it's going SO well! We've only had 3 or 4 accidents in the last 3 days combined. I can't believe we might be almost done with diapers for the first time in 4 1/2 years!

Conference Fear Factor

If you don't already know, I have a calling in the Young Women's program at church, which has been really fun. This past Tuesday, our activity was "Conference Fear Factor", where we asked the girls questions from conference and if they couldn't answer it, they had to complete a challenge. Basically, it was a night where the leaders had the girls do really mature things like see who can stuff the most marshmallows in her mouth, who can stick the most cheerios on her face, or who can eat a half of a jalapeno. Yeah, it was pretty fun. Lots of laughs that night!

Pumpkin Winner

Yesterday at the Farmer's Market, you could win a huge pumpkin by guessing the weight correctly. Well, I don't ever win anything, but I guessed the weight of the 80 pound pumpkin right on the nose! I tied with a little boy, so he took that pumpkin home and I got to chose another one. This one is actually a bit smaller, but it's still huge! We'll have fun carving it in a few weeks. :)

And that's our week in a nutshell! :)

My comments:
1) DVD Road = Awesome! I love that they played together so well, too. What good brothers they are.
2) Lovin' the latches. Too funny. Dang kids.
3) Hooray for potty training! Way to go, Asher! (literally...)
4) That poor girl looks terrified about the jalapeƱo! Meanie.
and 5) What's up, humongo pumpkin! Way to win, lady! I've only won two small things in my life, but they've been pretty thrilling experiences. Too bad they weren't a new car. :)

Great post! Thanks for catching us up.
