Fall Fun!

Image
By
Recently, we went to a local pumpkin patch with our dear friends for some fall fun!

We went through the corn maize, allowing each child to take turns leading.  We also learned that Caleb...and Matt...have a hard time letting other people take charge in leading.  I think they were afraid of getting lost.  Abby definitely has my sense of direction!




We played in the corn pit, which was a huge hit with all of the kids!


The two little ones (just 5 months apart and in the same Mom's Morning Out class!) loved the hayride!


I finally convinced Abby to ride the barrel train by riding with her.  It was just a little crowded!


They all loved the playground and big drain pipe slide.  I was pleasantly surprised at how many times Abby went down the slide by herself!




Each of the kids picked out a pumpkin...a big decision, to be sure!


One of the last things we did was play in the hay pit, which was a big hit.  Caleb loved jumping into the pit!





What a fun day!

We went to the pumpkin patch the other day!! All three of us got to launch apples across a field!! I picked out the most unique-looking pumpkin we saw there!! It's special!! Lumpy and lopsided, my pumpkin is weird, like me!! I like my pumpkin so much that I'm not carving it!! ;)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
