We have entered into the relm of potty training.
Yesterday after church we drove off to Target and let Dartanion pick out his very own big boy underwear. Out of all the many choices in prints such as cars, Nickelodeon characters, Disney characters, and super heros Dart would only have anything to do with the Justice League.
So Justice League it is. His cute little bum is now clothed in superman, batman, flash, green lantern, and even aquaman undies.
So with the timer set to remind me it's time to sit on the potty, lots of juice and tea to drink, and treats as rewards we are on the road to big boy land!

Back to School
Can you believe that it is time for school to start already?!? I feel like the summer just started with all the fun things we did.
For a little summer update we had 2 little friends with us for most of the summer. It was fun to have 2 more little bodies in the house to give Dart and Arielle some new friends to play with. That was a neat little adventure.
We also took a little big of a trip in the middle of July. Dart and Arielle got to spend some time with Grammie and Pa Pa along with Uncle J. and Aunt P. in Oklahoma. Mom went to a conference in Denver and Dad stayed home for a few days then went to have fun in OK. too.
And lastly, Grandma, Grandpa and Ma came to visit us right before school started. That was fun because we got to spend some time showing them around downtown and we got a super yummy dinner out with them while they were here.
AND...now on to back to school. Dart started Kindergarten this year and Arielle began with her 3 year preschool program.
Here in our little area of the world we have A LOT of homeschoolers. We also have a lot of little ones who aren't in school just yet. And we also have a few kiddos who go to school a few days of the week and are home in the other days of the week. Kids are around to play almost anytime we are ready to play.
One of the things that could be come complicated is the need to be able to get through school uninterrupted. That is why I created these cute little signs to hang on the doors.
Chalkboard is in right now so I wen't with Chalk board paint. And the red and green out line is for the kids. Most kids know that green means "Go" and red means "stop".

Once. they were painted and dried I hung them on the doors outside and I 'try' to remember to turn them when we are focusing on school or when we are done.
And now school is in full swing. Here's to a great year!

On the back door by the parking lot I didn't have anywhere else to use so it hangs off the wreath. |
