Even though it’s practically the middle of the month…I’m still having a tough time believing that it’s already November! And that we only have 6 weeks until Christmas!
We’ve had a busy but fairly uneventful month so far. We started out with another fun trip to KidsQuest Children’s Museum but most of the pictures didn’t turn out :(
After playing we headed to Red Robin for lunch. There were 6 adults and 10 children (both toddlers and babies!). The staff at Red Robin looked truly frightened to see us coming and quickly ushered us out to their indoor patio area to eat…conveniently FAR away from all the other diners. Surprisingly all the kids did really really well and we had lots of people stop to admire our *adorable* kids - and also to tell us how brave we were to take them all out to lunch! Here’s a shot of Bridget, Chase and Addison walking through the mall to the restaurant.
We’ve also been working on potty training this month. Sophie doesn’t seem quite ready (kidding!) but Addison is really starting to get the hang of it. Things are going well so far and we’ve only had 2 minor accidents - both of which happened when Addison had a friend over so she was busy playing and wasn’t worried about anything else!! Our biggest challenge so far has been getting her to believe that this is not the purpose of her new potty seat… :)
This past weekend Erik took Addison to her first movie (in a theater). They saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Addison LOVED it! It was so fun to listen to her tell me all about her day out with daddy - especially that she got to have popcorn and gummi bears :) Too cute! Of course there are no pictures since I wasn’t there snapping away…haha.
Saturday (Nov 7) was also Uncle Jordy’s 25th birthday -- we were sad that we didn’t get to spend it with him (he lives in Sacramento) but Addison did get to call with her best attempt at singing Happy Birthday. Here’s one of my favorite pics of Jordan from his 23rd birthday, which we spent with him and the rest of the family in San Francisco.
Saturday also brought the arrival of our friends Malinda & Cam’s baby - Miss Graciana Janelle. Erik and I were lucky enough to visit them on Sunday before they were discharged.
We have a fun weekend coming up. Saturday we’re taking Addison to see Disney on Ice, which I think she’ll LOVE. Every time she sees the commercial for it she asks if she can ‘go to that movie’ so it should be a fun afternoon! On Sunday we’ll be celebrating Miss Vera’s 1st birthday. Vera is the daughter of our best friends, Nate & Chrissy, and I can’t even believe that she’s turning 1!! We can’t wait to celebrate :)
