One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians
Braden had a special fall program at his school this last week. He sang several songs he had learned during music time with Mr. Ernie. He did a great job and was one of the loudest singers of the group. After the program everyone was invited downstairs for a thanksgiving feast. It was really yummy and made us all very excited for Thanksgiving with our family this next week.

Seton Hill Griffins
This last week we have had the most beautiful weather. The air has been crisp, the sky a most brilliant blue, the sun, shining, and the temps have been up; it's been perfect! We decided to take advantage of the great weather by joining our Bishop and his wife at their son, Josh's, football game. Seton Hill shares their field with the high school, so it's not a big stadium and luckily we didn't have to pay to come. The boys have never been to a game before and I think they enjoyed it. We had lots of fun eating popcorn and cheering on the team; who in the end unfortunately lost.
The girl just behind Brady is Josh's girlfriend, Lauren. She is so sweet.
Carter loved the mascot. He kept asking me where the "eagle-lion" went.

Our favorite Player!
They boys must have had a great time and expended lots of energy at the game because we came home to make dinner and Carter fell asleep at the table waiting. We did get him to eat but he went straight to bed after at 7 PM.
Trick-or-Treating
I posted about the boys costumes but forgot to share their trick-or-treating adventures. This year was really cold for Halloween and the boys were both sick. The each had a nasty cough and Carter, as we found out after taking him to the Doctor earlier in the day, had an ear infection. They were very excited about going out with their friends but once outside, only lasted about half an hour. It probably didn't help that it started raining too! Despite, we did have a good time and got more candy than we knew what to do with.
The little girl in the pink coat, Kate, is one of Carters friends.
They have a love/hate relationship.
They are always so excited to see and play with each other
but always seem to get in little fights over who gets to play with what.
Rain is falling all around...

Potty Training and Sleeping Adventures
Carter is one crazy kid! It is amazing to me how different he and Braden are. Braden has always been like a grown up to me; I can reason with him most of the time, he follows directions quickly and easily, and for the most part I only ever have to tell him to do or not do something once and he always does it or remembers to do in in the future. Carter on the other hand is completely the opposite. I have to tell him to do things over and over again, he's not as willing to help out, is much more stubborn and more resistant to discipline, and gets into more mischief that should be allowed.
Potty training has been easier and yet more difficult with Carter vs. Braden. I remember trying to potty train Braden and even though I knew he could go on the potty, he would resist. I remember backing off and then a couple months later Brady wanted to go potty on the toilet and he did. He had maybe one or two accidents but did it. Carter loves to use the potty; he wants to be just like Braden and wear big boys and his excitement about it is through the roof. The problem is that he doesn't go unless I tell him too. I thought for a while that he couldn't "feel" it but now I'm wondering if it's just that he forgets about it. Anyway, I am not pushing him and letting him call the shots. He wears a diaper most of the time but once in a while will wear a pull up or undies when he asks for them. I'm hoping one of these days when he wants to wear undies that he'll go the whole day without an accident. Although I have a feeling that it's gonna be a while before that happens.
Despite being a stinker when it comes to following the rules or potty training Carter is seriously the funniest kid on the planet. He is always saying and doing things that make me laugh. On of my favorite things to do is watch Carter sleep. He never sleeps under his covers and on occasion has fallen out of his bed during the night. It doesn't seem to bother him as he gets back in bed without need of Mom or Dad. He also sleeps in strange positions: upside down, folded in half and even half in/half out of bed.
