Pottery Painting

Today we went to a Pottery place with the kids. I know we must be crazy taking toddlers to a place full of breakables but they didnt break anything!
Nathan painted a Mug for his Mimi, a plate for me and of course a racecar for himself. We wont get it back till after Christmas. Ooops, mimi will have to wait on her cool mug.
Everyone painted so well and I can not wait to see all the pretty creations in a week!!!

Santas Wonderland

I know I am going backwards here but I keep forgetting things. We went to this super fun Santas wonderland a couple weeks ago with Nathans buddies. It was so fun.... well until we choked on a piece of fake snow and threw up. Ooops! Sorry to the lady who had to clean out the fake snow :( I cant blame it all on the snow, I am pretty sure he picked up some cooties from school. Darn germs!
Before that we had a blast. Here are some pics from the day.

Santa Part 2

This morning we went to a cool breakfast with santa they had at the golf course across the street. We got there a little late for some of the goodies but didnt miss out on Santa. It is hard to get this group moving early in the morning!
Here are some pictures with Nathan and Reese.
Reese showed Nathan how it worked. She had already gone through once and knew the drill! ha ha ha aha. Soooo cute.

Nathan visits Santa

Nathan and his buddies went to the mall this last week to get their picture with Santa. I wasnt sure how he would do with Santa but he seemed okay and actually a little bored with him? When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas Nathan said presents. ha ha ha . He isnt very picky .

Christmas Tree Time

We took out the Christmas decorations last night and started getting ready! This is the first time Nathan has showed any interest so it is very exciting. He helped put up the decorations once we got the tree and lights up. He keeps calling it his " Chrismus Treat" ha ha ha. Here are some pics from the decorating. I cant wait to see how Christmas goes this year. I have a feeling it is going to be so fun!

Nathans pictures

Nathan and Claire racing

Last week we got to have Claire over to play after school. We went to the grocery store and these two had a blast. When we got home I was unloading the groceries and I hear " Set...................GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! " and lots of giggling! I look out the door and this is what I see.
Dont you just want to eat them up?
well you have to catch them first! ha ha ha

Nathan used his Potty!!!

Tonight Nathan pee peed in his Potty!!! YAY! I am so proud of my little man! He totally caught me off guard and acted like he had done this a million times before. I hope this means I will only be changing one instead of two sets of diapers come January! :)
Keep your fingers crossed this wasnt just a one time thing.

Playcenters at school

On Thursday Nathans school had outdoor play center day! How fun. Since the day was going to be full of rain they moved it inside to the gym. I was volunteering that day and of course took lots of pictures. They had so many different things to do. They could play in the sand, make bracelets, face painting, an alligator pit, hockey with foam noodles, and of course painting on the windows with shaving cream!!!!! What.....?! I somehow got stuck with this area. ah aha ha h. Let me just say it was a MESS but lots of fun. Things like this are when I know our tuition money is going to great use. He would never be able to do this at home. Could you imagine! :)
Here are some pics of the day. Nathans favorite was the face painting, or I guess hand and arm painting in his case. Claire was totally into the beads and Hogan stuck with the sand center with fake fruits and veggies.

Halloween

This was Nathans first Halloween where he actually got to go trick or treating! He was dressed up in his baseball player costume and ready for some treats. We walked around the neighborhood and he acted like he had done this a million times before. He would go to the door and say " treat, treat" . He had a blast taking his daddy trick or treating.

Halloween Fun

Here are Nathan and his friends having some Halloween fun! Nathan is the first wrestler in the black undies, Brady is a race car driver! Reese is a pretty pumpkin

Harvest Day Parade at School

Today at Nathans school they had the Harvest Day Parade. All the kids got to make their costumes over the last week and today they were Bats!
They walked around the school showing off their super cool costumes and then ended up in the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Here are some videos of the parade. His buddies Claire and Hogan are in his class. Claire has on the pink and white jacket and Hogan has on the blue.
So cute!!!

Big Boy Bed

Nathan has a new big boy bed!!! We moved his baby crib out to the new baby's room and got him a big boy bunk bed!!! Kyle spent all day Monday putting together his new room and that night we tucked him in and he slept like a baby :)
He told his teacher Mrs. Kama all about his big boy bed this morning when we got to school. He was so proud of himself.
Kyle and I are so happy that it worked out so well.
Some other big news....... Nathan has been napping at school!!!!

Fun Ocotber!

I have been super bad about keeping up with the blog so here are some pics from the last month. One of his Best Buddies turned 3 this month!!!! Bradys mommy also watched Nathan for me one morning while I went to what seems like one of my gazillion doctors appointments. Nathan talked about his fun day with Brady non stop. I couldnt understand most of it but what I did get was lots of racing, trucks, and baby Cash ( Bradys super sweet baby brother).
This last month we have gone to tons of fun places.
One day we took a trip to the zoo and played in the splash pad in our diapers!!! ha hah a.
The next week we took a fun trip to Discovery Green, a super cool park in downtown Houston. They had a huge fountain that all the kids got to play in and this time we remembered to bring swim clothes.
The last week we went to the Oil Ranch!!! This is a fun place where they got to ride horses , trains, and pick out a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. Nathan loves "punkins and ghosss" and wants to ride around and look for them every day.

Birthday Party

This last Saturday Nathan and his friend Claire had their Second birthday party at teh Downtown Aquarium. We had so much fun!!! ALl of his friends came out and rode the train, Ferris Wheel and Carousel . WE also got to go on a tour through the Aquarium and see all the cool fish , stingrays and even TIGERS!!! wow. After all the fun we went inside the cool resturant and ate cupcakes and chicken tenders! What more could a two year old ask for. Here are some pictures and video of the birthday kids having fun.
