Operation Underpants?!?!?! Already?!

I'm not sure I am ready to take the leap to operation underpants yet, but Lex is, yet again, two steps ahead of us on growing up...  The past few days she has been self-motivated to use the potty and only the potty, not her diaper.  I am reluctant to fully potty train her since she is only 22 months old, but I am definitely not going to say no when she says "Potty" and looks up at me with those GIGANTIC baby eyes! 

  It looks like we are going to have to go buy her a brand new princess potty!!!!!  We are very excited that she is so determined to be an early potty trainer, but we totally were not expecting her to decide on her own and to stick with it!!!! 

  We are so blessed with motivated children!!!!

Blake was super excited about Halloween this year!  He got to meet up with family and friends at a Fall Harvest Festival followed by Trunk-or-Treating.  There were bounce houses, games, an obstacle course and food!  Blake had a blast! 

Night 2 of Trunk-or-Treating we went to our Church and listened to lots of Bible stories and enjoyed elaborate displays that people put tons of work into in order to bring the Bible stories to life.  It was so much fun to watch the re-enactments of Bible stories.

Alexia had tons of fun this Halloweekend!!!!!  We went to a few Trunk-or-Treat events at nearby Churches and had lots of fun eating, playing games, listening to Bible stories and getting candy!  Lex is slightly bummed out that she is only allowed to eat one piece of candy each day, but she is thankful to have her own bucket of candy! 

We have lots of fun things planned for fall!  We are very excited for Thanksgiving!!!!!
