Nightmare Express

Friday night we went and rode the Nightmare Express Train. We decided to go when it was still light outside because it was not as scary. I thought Blake was going to love it, he loves Halloween stuff. Luke was the one I was worried was going to end up crying and wanting to get off the train. Chad went with us but decided he would be the photographer, he got some awesome shots. Notice Blake's face as we go along from tunnel to tunnel.





By the end Blake said it was not that bad. I think his faces tell otherwise. So glad that we did not do it in the dark, someone may have peed their pants or left in tears. Luke thought it was no big deal and when the ride ended Luke wanted to go again. Maybe next year we can take it up a notch and do it at dusk.

Soccer




Soccer has come to end for the fall. I am relieved. Blake seemed to have more interest in it the first half of the season, by the end he was done and did not care anymore. He will play on the same team again for spring and I am hoping to get him a little more excited about it. He did end his season well with a great assist for a goal with minutes remaining in the game! Way to go Blake!

Tada!

Last week I decided to potty train Luke. I knew this was not going to be easy, but I was going to have to face it at some time or another, so I went for it!
And this kid is heaven sent!! The first day we introduced the potty and the underwear concept and he was on board and excited to do it. He had two accidents the first day and we have not had one since....knock on wood. Luke has been in underwear for a week now and no problems. He even makes me wait outside the bathroom while he goes now all by himself. When he is finished he always ends it with a big TADA!! Congratulations to me---No more diapers!!
