Our Thankful Tree
Melanie didn't want to take a picture, let alone smile in the picture. So I treatened her with a "time-out". Now look at the picture with a smile. What a difference! LOL! I know it's not very good parenting to threaten, but GEESH!-kids can be frustrating! I just wanted a picture. Ha, ha, ha!!!
1,2,3-JUMP to Kyle!
LOVE IT when they play together! This kind of stuff ALWAYS puts a smile on my face!
Painting Train
Melanie LOVES to paint! She also enjoys stacking & lining up the paint bottles. Painting is a great way to play the day away!

Push-Up Craze!
Since Kyle is totally into push-ups, Duane showed him a "new" way to do a push-up. Can anybody guess what movie this song is from?

L H O
L, H, O, L, H, O- Melanie can write the letters L, H, O!
I think she can write more than that but L & H are her favorites!

It's a Poo Poo Dance!
Hurray for Melanie-she's going poop in the potty! For a while she was still holding her bowels and then having explosions in her underwear. But since Saturday she's been going on the potty of her own requests! Duane called me at work to tell me "I took Melanie to go pee on the potty then she said "I'm not finished yet..." and he heard plop, plop! How exciting! I've even experienced the excitment up close! How FUN, huh? We're SUPER PROUD!

Happy Halloween
Halloween was super fun this year! Kyle chose not to dress up & go trick or treating. But it worked out well. He wanted ot pass out candy! So Duane & I took Melanie around our street with our new neighbor family. They have a 2 year old named Capri, she was a chicken. Melanie & Capri shared Capri's wagon. It was a lot of fun.
We didn't have ton of trick or treaters this year so we have tons of candy left. That's O.K., were eating it!

Scooter Time!
It really warms my heart when I see these 2 playing together. I think it's really neat that Kyle is so much older than Melanie. There is so much to learn & so much FUN to have. I just LOVE THESE 2 SO MUCH!
Giddy UP!
The #1 thing I LOVE about Wal-Mart is the the arcade/ride section in front of the store! Melanie REALLY likes this place too. They seem to always have a fun ride waiting after our hour and half grocery tour around the store. In the actual arcade section they still have Dumbo, but now they have this HORSE in the front where the baskets are! It plays the Lone Ranger Song! It's totally FUN! You'll see in this video that Melanie is starting to become embarrassed. I'm not sure if it's embarrassment of me because I totally dig this ride & people can see her riding (which doesn't make sense because she's not shy) or if she's embarrassed for some other reason. Either way, HOW CAN THIS BE? She's only 3! Am I really that bad??? Ha, ha, ha!!!

The "Perfect" Push-Up
Kyle is really into "push-ups", therefore, Melanie is really into "push-ups". Sometimes Kyle tries to act like a drill sergeant and will tell Melanie "Push-Up time-drop and give me 100!" It's pretty funny!

OMG!
The worst night I've ever spent was last night. We tried to get Melanie to sleep in her own bed. I can't tell you how horrible a parent I feel. She scream, cried, yelled, talked ALL NIGHT. After a full 4 hours of her pleading tantrum she eventually fell asleep for SHORT periods at a time. Then she'd just scream herself awake. She has a STRONG WILL when she REALLY wants something. She never gave up. She's also has been holding her bowls for the last several days. Let me just say that THAT is NOT fun. I'm not looking froward to tonight.
