Halloween Play Date

The Relief Society in our ward had an awsome enrichment activity this week. All the preschool aged kids in our ward and their moms were invited to a Halloween party. Chloe had so much fun, and since all of the primary activities are usually held on a weekday this is the first time we got to do something like this together. Everyone had so much fun. We made little bats on sticks for a craft, sang songs, had storytime, played games and had a little treat with all of our new friends. We all had so much fun that we decided to make this a monthly play date and we will all take turns providing the different activities and treats. Chloe and I have the treat assignment for the next one in November, so if anyone has ideas of cute Thanksgiving treats let me know. This is all of our new friends.

Making Bats that we can fly.

Storytime was so much fun...

and so was singing songs.

We are so excited for next month.

I'm a BIG Girl Now!!!!

Guess What!!! I finally learned how to go to the potty all by myself! I have been trying so hard for so long and it finally happened. The Potty Fairy brought me a big big big Barbie a while ago and left her for me. She said that I couldn't have her until I learned how to be a big girl and not have any more accidents in my pants. I tried really hard, but it was taking so long and I just couldn't figure out how to not poop in my pants. Then on day the Potty Fairy took my Barbie away because I wasn't trying hard enough. I finally decided that I really really wanted that Barbie back, and I can finally do it without having accidents. As soon as my mommy saw me pooping in the potty I told her that we needed to call Santa Clause to let him know that I could do it. My mom asked me why I didn't want to call the Potty Fairy and tell her, but let's face it, she took my Barbie away. When I came home from school on Tuesday and went into my bedroom, my Barbie was there and she was waiting for me. The Potty Fairy gave her back and I love her. My Barbie is my new best friend. We share clothes and watch movies and sometimes she even sleeps in my bed. I am so excited that I get to be a big girl now and I don't have to wear baby diapers any more.

Wyoming or Bust!

We went to Wyoming again this past weekend and we had so much fun with Casey and Neika and their family. Chole loved playing with her cousins for a couple of days, and it was so much fun to visit them by ourselves. This is the first time that we have been there without the whole family since they moved there. We took a ride on the four wheeler on Sunday and Chloe absolutely loved it. If Andy would go to slow she would scream for him to go faster. The faster he went, the more fun she had. It was great to have one last ride around their property before they move. We saw so much wildlife in our adventures while we were there. There was a big herd of antelope out when we were out on the four wheeler, and there were moose and deer out a little later when Andy and Casey left to go hunting for a while. Chloe loves jumping on their trampoline and I even got on and played for a little with her. While we were there, Casey killed two skunks in his shed and we got to witness him getting rid of them. It smelled so bad outside for a while, and both of our cars got hit with the smell. I think ours has finally started to lose the skunk smell after about 5 days. It was so great to have a weekend away from reality, and Andy got to put in a couple of resumes for some different jobs while we were there. Hopefully something will happen and he will find a job that he can really love. Maybe we will be moving to Wyoming soon.
