Carving Pumpkins


So last night Jim surprised the girls with a HUGE pumpkin and carving tools to make a jack-o-lantern.  They were so excited about doing it, since it was late we decided that this was going to be a fun family activity for the morning.  As I was getting everything ready to carve the pumpkins, Jim was cutting the tops off.  Maggie didn't even want to try to clean the pumpkin, so mommy got stuck doing hers plus the big one.  Eva did her little pumpkin that she got on her field trip mostly by herself.  I had to help a little bit.  Once that was done it was time to carve the faces.  We made them all with happy silly faces.

Potty Training

Maggie is doing really well with potty training.  We started about 2 weeks ago with really pushing her to go on the potty and it helped too that she was showing more and interest with going.  She is wearing pull-ups and goes on the potty at least 2-3 times a day.  She has gone number #2 once on her potty but hasn't done it since.  She also has started telling me that she has to go potty, her pull-up is ususally dry and she does go.  Even when her pull-up is dirty, she sometimes will still on her potty and goes as well.  My goal is too get her in underwear and potty trainded by April when she turns 3 because next fall she will be in preschool.

 When Eva graduated from 8th grade all she wanted was a pair of old school Michael Jordan shoes that were black, white and blue.  So that is what we got her.  Now for Maggie we wanted to something to make her feel special since she had a difficult time with the whole COVID-19 pandemic.  She has always loved musicals, so we got her tickets for her and Jim to go see the musical WICKED.  They finally went tonight, and they loved it.  Jim said it was better than the first time he saw it with me.  They enjoyed a nice dinner on the 21st floor of a hotel and had 4 row tickets in orchestra section.  So glad that she felt like a princess.
