Autumn; my favorite time of the year!! The leaves show off their gorgeous hues, Indian summer temperatures linger in our part of the country with a nip in the air in the evenings for bon fires and hot chocolate and there is the fun and excitement of dressing up and asking for treats! This year was no different as we hosted our 9th annual Halloween party. It's been interesting to see how our friends and the dynamic of the party, mainly the ending time, has changed. We are no longer carrying on until late in the night; this year, the house was empty by 10pm. But that doesn't change all the fun and laughs we had.
Trick-Or-Treating is always a hoot! We have never visited the same area twice. This year we were on the Public Square in the afternoon with some of Siena's friends. The weather was nice and what a great parade of kid's costumes and friendly businesses to mingle with. Carson napped the entire time but woke up in time to meet his first Ninja Turtle, aka, Uncle Dave. He and Lashon spoiled Siena with some larger treats that will last longer than her sweet tooth (A book of poems, a light up necklace, spider rings and so much more).
In other news, Siena has taken another step and is 100% potty trained, on her own. She decided one night that she didn't want to wear her pull-up. We found the dry diaper and her pjs on the bathroom floor with our big girl asleep in her big girl bed and changed into big girl panties. Her parents can take no credit; she has completed this big step on her own. When we stopped pressuring her, she did it all herself! And Carson must have been amused because he has began smiling at us. He didn't want to be left out of the joke. His cheeks are round and chubby so a smile is the perfect accent for our little man.
