SJS Jog

We spent Sat. morning at the St. Joseph's School jog. The goal was met for the number of students participating so Donavan ran in this costume. Donavan ran the fun run in this suit (I actually thought the uniform was a little offensive). His quads are hurting today. I ran in the 5k race and it was a really challenging course. Uphill climbs every time I looked up. I did run it just under my goal time of 30 minutes.

We've been spending a lot of time at home this weekend working on potty training. Isaac has not had any accidents in the last 3 days and even wore big boy underwear out to dinner last nite. He's been telling us when he has to go to the bathroom. He even went #2 twice in the potty today. He's so proud and we're just thrilled about his progress. Diaper free here we come.

Isaac and I made cinnamon muffins this morning before church. He loves helping in the kitchen. His fav. parts were breaking the eggs and the hand mixer.

Halloween Cookie Playdate

We held a small play date at our place this week. This kids decorated Halloween cookie and Isaac worked on sharing his toys with his friends.

Halloween Sugar Cookies

Today after preschool, I decided to make cut out sugar cookies with Isaac. I thought we'd mix the dough up and do a few cut outs and then I would finish the project (cut out the majority of the cookies and bake) while Isaac took his nap. Well, Isaac decided not to nap so he was up for the entire baking project. He particularly liked using the hand held mixer. We typically use the Kitchenaid mixer so this was his first experience with the hand held mixer. He didn't grasp the concept of cutting out the shapes, but really like trying. He was a trooper while I finished the cut outs and baking the cookies. We made Halloween shapes--pumpkins, bats, cats and ghosts. I thought we'd decorate them tomorrow, but I am now thinking the sugar cookies are quite delicious without frosting. We'll save frosting cookies for another day!

September 23 Muffin Man

Our theme in Kindermusik this fall is Cookies and Milk. We decided to make some banana muffins and listen to the "muffin man" on Isaac's CD after school today. Isaac really enjoyed spooning the batter into the mini muffin pans.
