Pumpkin Patch Excursion!!

So we went to a local pumpkin patch to "pick" pumpkins. The kids were mesmerized by the bounce house and the tower slides…picking pumpkins came in a distant third…but we had fun. They are definitely starting to “get” holidays and birthday’s more and more these days. They even went to a Halloween party at the Little Gym with Daddy and had a great time. They totally dig their costumes for Halloween and I can’t wait to take them out trick-or-treating!

Here is some video from our pumpkin patch excursion. It is a little slow in the beginning as we just watch the kids run around, but then unexpectedly, someone has to go pee pee in the middle of the pumpkin patch!! Uh-oh….whaddya do???? This is pretty funny – watch the whole thing if you have a minute.

1 - Yes 1 - Almost

That would be my answer to the question: are they potty trained? One yes and one almost.

I am thrilled to report we are down to three - yes just 3 - diapers a day!! They are both still in overnight diapers at bedtime and Wyatt sleeps in a diaper during his naptime. Other than that - we are outta diapers. Yippeee!!! Hurrah!! Hallelujah!!!

I guess I got convinced when we went down to the Bay Area last weekend for our friends wedding. BTW: Congratulations to the newlyweds Jeff and Johanna!! We drove down on Friday afternoon and Teagan wore a diaper on the way down just in case - but she didn't pee in her diaper - she waited till we got there then announced she needed to go potty. The next day for her nap she didn't want to wear a diaper - so I didn't make her - and she made it all the way through a 2 hour nap without a diaper. So on the way home I just put her in "unders" and she made it all the way with no accidents. I am over the moon for her. For me. For us. :-)


Wyatt will wear his "unders" around the house - out to the park and on errands with Mommy - but he still wears a diaper for naps and car trips. Which is totally OK - he is almost there - and it is still super early for a boy to potty train. We are so thankful he showed an early interest and we can cut way down on diaper usage.

For the love of God don't let this post come back to haunt me.

Like I mentioned - last weekend we went down for a friends wedding in the city. While we were there we went to the Art and Wine Festival in our old town. The kids had so much fun!

This was Teagan, Wyatt and me with G.G. at the fair.

Wyatt and Teagan trying to hula hoop! So cute.

Wyatt did the ring toss. The kid loves games. Loves to throw whatever he can!

And we got to paint pumpkins! Wyatt likes to use lots of different colors - and Teagan only used black. Just one color. If I tried to give her a different color - it wasn't pretty.

This was the view from the wedding ceremony. It was right on the water overlooking the SF Bay, Alcatraz, Marin. Majestic setting.

What up!! Table B Representing!!

Still happily married, five years, multiple jobs, multiple moves and multiple kids later!!

Sick Toddlers

We went to the Little Gym for our Friday morning class last week and picked up the first cold of the season. Teagan May started getting sick on Saturday with a runny nose and Wyatt's started late on Saturday. By Sunday T.May had it under control and as usual, Wyatt was full blown sick with a fever of 101.8. It seems whenever they catch a cold either it doesn't really hit Teagan or she Dares it to become a cold and it backs down. But with Wyatt he catches a little cold and gets full blown sick and an ear infection usually accomponies it. So we are just trying to muddle through it and if Wyatt isn't feeling better I will take him to the Dr. because he probably has an ear infection.

This weekend we celebrated our five year wedding anniversary. Can't believe it has been five years already. Who knew you could fall deeper in love? I thank everything on this planet that I have been gifted with such an amazing man to be my partner and the father to my two beautiful children. Love you.

Other than that things are business as usual on the Goodrich front. We are getting ready for Halloween, a wedding, and someone's birthday...!

Lots of visits...

The month of September was such a fun month! This month we got to stay home a lot - 4 weeks in a row - to be exact. This was the most consecutive time that we have spent in our new house. It was heaven!

We have such great friends and family. We have had so many wonderful visits this month - it has been great to have everyone up to our new house and catch up with quality visits.
