Fall Time Fun

We had a family outing on Jim and my 5th Anniversary this year. We went to downtown Rockford to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant, then to feed the ducks and finally to finish off the evening with an ice cream clown!

Brody is becoming quite a techie! We recently decided to try out the wireless headsets that came with our trailblazer for the DVD player. Up until now he has contently watched all of his DVDs without sound (Jim and I prefer to listen to the radio rather than Shrek EVERYDAY!).

Brody has been saving up all of his money from using the potty! So Jim took him last Friday to buy a backpack with is money. He was so excited to get his Buzz Lightyear Backpack! (Nanny will be proud - it was on clearance for $5 at Kmart!). He had enough money left over that we went back to Kmart on Sunday to buy a Sponge Bob Backpack (even better deal at $2.50!).

He has been doing SO well with the potty. Typically he only has 1 accident a day if any and has even pooped on the potty 2 times out of the last 3 days! We are so proud of our big boy!

Last Sunday we took our annual trip to the Klackle Orchard located not too far from us. It has a lot of fun things for the kids to enjoy! We were to go for a wagon ride to pick apples (Brody even got to sit on the tractor!), an enchanted Pumpkin ride to see the pumpkin patch (Brody didn't want to get off to pick any pumpkins) and play in the HUGE sandbox with all of the trucks (his favorite)!

Today Jim took us on an adventure down the road to pick out our pumpkins. Brody was excited to find the surprise at the end of our walk. He even picked out a pumpkin for the baby (and tried to give it to my belly!).
