The dreaded "season" of the Great Northwest is officially here. Don't get me wrong, I like the rain, but what I do NOT like is living in the dark. I love the leaves, and the good holiday food, and laughing as I drive down I-5 flying past other cars going only 60mph because NO ONE IN WASHINGTON KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN!!! I understand that a lot of people around Fort Lewis are not from here, but people in Seattle still can't seem to drive while its raining! Okay, so this is not what I had planned to write today. Sorry for the little vent session!
Anyway, I was trying to tell you how much I dislike it being dark at 7am and then again by 430pm. I don't like making breakfast and dinner in the dark. I do like the fact that I get to burn "fall" scented candles all day...yummy hazelnut cream! The boys actually slept until 9 this morning which is really 8 now. I was worried that they were going to be up at 630!
A little update on the kids. Lincoln has started doing his first sign. He says all done! He really is become a much happier baby. For a while, I thought I was going to go insane! And for Kiernan, we are still diligently trying to get him potty trained. he doesn't have a problem going pee, but he won't tell us when he has to poo. So he just goes in his pull-up. I think he has officially given up nap time. I have been making him lay in his bed and read books for about an hour. I still need a break!!!

If you go to Alaska you can get 6months of darkness & 6 month of light every year.
At least you get a break from the daylight to the darkness.
Have a fun time in the rain.
looks like oregon.
yea now it might go through glad you had a nice day love GM
Hey, not all of us Washingtonian's don't know how to drive in the rain! I think that we have all seen way too many crashes because of a crazy skid-out because of the rain, so we are now careful. ha ha I just had to defend us.
hey, from your play list, we got to hear Plumb live at the MOPS convention. She was awesome. We even saw her later on in the hotel with her adorable little 2 month old daughter. She was soooo cute.
time to start singing (for the next 6months) rain, rain go away... Good thing it is not snowing at 60+mph
Grandma Valarie says hi, love ya
Lol. I was driving home from work last night at 5pm and it was already as dark as it was gonna get and raining, so of course everyone was driving like 40mph on the freeway. It wasn't rush hour traffic either because there were fewer cars on the road than normal. Something to do with the weather maybe?
Best of luck with Kiernan! We got Payton using the potty and no accidents at night (most nights). We only used pull-ups for a week and then got him big boy undies. I felt he was using them as a crutch. If he had them on he would go in them. It didn't take him long to figure out that if he wanted to stay clean he had to use the toilet. And of course I was asking him constantly if he had to go. Now he does good and goes pee all by himself and lets me know when he has to go #2. Although sometimes I still have to sit with him so he'll stay on the toilet and relax long enough to go.
