Happy Halloween!

We had a great, but busy, week! We skipped actual trick-or-treating and opted for Vic's Company party instead. They did a little Halloween walk - followed by a get-together. Elliott dressed up like his favorite Yo Gabba Gabba character - DJ Lance Rock. Not many people knew who he was, but it was hilarious for us!

On actual Halloween we just locked ourselves inside and closed the shutters. Surprisingly we didn't get a single trick-or-treater. 

E's daycare did a big party where the kids were able to wear costumes. When I asked the teacher if he had fun, she said, "ummm, he didn't want to touch any if the gooey, messy stuff ... and seemed to have the most fun cleaning up". Oops ... I've created a little OCD clean freak! After that comment I immediately went and bought some Play-Doh so we can try some 'messy' activities at home.

We had our first potty experience this week! E was pulling on his diaper, so I said, "do you need to use the potty?" - not expecting a response. When he said 'yes' ... I panicked because we don't even have a little potty! I tore his diaper off and rushed him to the BIG potty, and he went!! He was so proud of himself. I made sure to grab a potty the next day - he loves it. We're not pushing the whole thing too hard because I want to wait until after the cruise to even think about underwear and all the good stuff. Something about a potty-training toddler and multi-country traveling doesn't mix.

I have worked all week on a project for a class that I am so completely lost in ... like - we're mid-way through the semester and I still don't know what the class is even about. Anyway, I turned in - what appears to be some semi-correct information, and I have one test and one project left in this ridiculousness that I will probably never use again. I'm praying for a B at this point ... 

We are laying low again this weekend - it's raining and a perfect day for movies!
