September!

We've had a nice month - it's been less hectic than August, which has been great! No traveling all month! Let's see...we've been working on lots of little house projects, including fall-izing the yard, painting the bonus room (maybe that was last month), and hanging pictures. I continue to harass Bob about getting his office set up, which may be starting to work a little bit. All but 1 room now has window treatments...I've made 10 and just have Anna's room to go. They have mostly turned out pretty well, but you can tell they are homemade. Oh well!

We checked out the monthly free "concert" over Labor Day weekend, which ended up being a magic show. Anna was mesmerized, but Erin opted to take a nature walk around Bass Lake with Daddy instead. The following weekend, Daddy went to see friends in Washington DC, and we girls hung out and took it easy. We discovered what may be our favorite new park, Macdonald Woods, in Cary. Anna and I frequent it now while Erin is at preschool during the week.

The next weekend was the birthday party weekend - 2 in one day! The girls enjoyed them, and the biggest hit was the life-size Elmo balloon at Hanna's birthday.

This past weekend, Erin and I went to the Kids Together Family Fun Walk that invited her preschool to attend for free. It was fun, and she won a t-shirt for the snazziest (only) wheels! It was a rainy morning, so the attendance was low, but it cleared up and we had a great time.

Pottying is going ok. 6 weeks in, and she will go in the potty if she has to, but will still just go in her pants if she doesn't happen to be sitting on the potty. We will continue and hope it clicks soon! We now own a steam cleaner as a result of the pottying debacle.

So, it's been a great month, and we're enjoying the cooler weather. October looks to be a little more busy with Grandma A. visiting, yard sale, trip to Concord, the big preschool switch, the fair, Halloween, and of course, the big #3 birthday for Erin! We are excited about it all!
