Harriet Potter (aka Kaitlyn) wanted to send a message to Bennett, her cousin. She needed some prompting, but I think she got all of it in there. ;)

Halloween 2010
Kaitlyn really enjoyed trick-or-treating tonight because she understands it for the first time. Nathan said for about the first 15 houses, every time she'd run back to him yelling, "Daddy, I got more candy!" :)
Nathan's philosophy is to "save" the kids from having to eat all of the candy by eating it for them. ;)

James' Field Trip to the Corn Maze
Since I have been flattened by another case of mono, Nathan took my place at James' first field trip. All of the kindergarten classes went up to the corn maze for the day, and it looks like they had a great time.

The ABCs According to Kaitlyn
Our nanny Mimi has been working with Kaitlyn to sing her ABCs. She's getting better- but I wanted to capture this while it's full of mistakes. It's just SO much cuter. ;)

A Girl in a Projector Screen Box
I got my projector screen and Kaitlyn immediately started getting into the box. What is it with kids and boxes? Why have I EVER bought toys? Geez.

It Evens Out
So you read my blog about me going to die because I'm old. Well... since I'm senile already, I can't remember if this happened before or after that story. Anyway, he ended up negating that one by doing this....
Preface: I'm addicted to having water with me wherever I go so I usually get a cold bottle of water out of the fridge in the garage before I get in the car.
We were getting ready to go somewhere (senility kicking in), and I told James to go out to the car and buckle in while I finished getting Kaitlyn's shoes on her. We got out to the car and James said to me, "Mom, look what I got for you!"
I looked up in the front of the van and sitting in my cup holder was a cold bottle of water waiting for me.
Sniff, sniff. I was so proud of him for thinking of me. :)

I Guess I'm Old
The kids and I were heading towards the dentist's office this afternoon when James decided to tell me, "Mom, when you die, we're going to erase you from the Wii."
"What? James, do you think I'm going to die soon, honey?" I say with a bit of an aching heart.
"Yeah, because you're getting old."
I should have known better. HA!
I tried to explain to them that 32 is NOT old, as a matter of fact... who knows if they actually believe me though, since apparently I'm old enough to be senile. :)

Three Year Old Wisdom
Kaitlyn and I were passing time today before her school started. I decided to go get money out of the ATM machine since I was running a little low on cash. I slid my card, punched the numbers and and when it started spitting out my money, Kaitlyn said, "YOU WON!"

Yellow Belt Boy! :)
James got his yellow belt last weekend, and here I am finally posting these videos. I had a chaotic time taking photos and videos since SOMEONE'S three year old hands kept wanting to help and watch. :) Also, some pictures of us in the peanut gallery.

Karate! James tests for his yellow belt!
On Tuesday, James tested for his yellow belt in Karate. He is currently a white belt (the first belt) and appeared to pass the test with flying colors. If all goes well (in other words, if they don't call us to have him come retest) we will be going to his "graduation" for his yellow belt on Friday night. I hear it's a big deal, a pizza party and everything.
Sensei Adam asked Nathan after class, "Which one of you has taken Karate?" Apparently he had thought that Nathan or I have been practicing with James, but the truth is... it's all learned in his class. He seems to be absorbing it like a sponge. It's very exciting!
Here is part of his test with Sensei Adam:
And here is Kaitlyn spinning into an oblivion (watch her eyes after she falls down- hilarious!):

First Day of School
James is mad because Nathan and I made him buy "boring shoes"...
Forgive the fog on the lens from the humidity of this crazy hot August day:
