Not exactly sure what to write. Too much on my mind, I guess.

As a family, we went to Ranger's 3rd birthday party on Saturday. The weather was beautiful (the party was at a park) and a great time was had by all. We will be so sad come January when he and his sweet parents move to Houston, but there is a season for everything and we pray God's blessings over them and the next step in their lives.

Robert pooped on the potty a few weeks ago. It was a random occurrence, but seems worth mentioning. He was getting ready to take a bath and I could see the look on his face. So I put him on the potty with a potty seat and voila! The results have not been repeated though, so I think potty training may still be a ways off.

It's gotten cold here the past few days. The low tonight is 27F. I am glad our house holds heat well, because the wind is something terrible outside. I hope it warms up by this weekend  (which is not expected) as Francis and the men from our Sunday School class are going camping and they might just literally freeze! I will be heading to Dallas this weekend for Mom Noble's 80th birthday party, so we will be outside on and off going places. It makes me miss the warmth already and it isn't even Thanksgiving.

We had a first on Tuesday: I napped and William didn't. After multiple pleas that he wasn't tired, I told William he could play quietly in his room. He did and shortly after I rested my head on the couch only to wake up over an hour later to Robert screaming from his crib (he miraculously took a 2 hour nap). I peeked in on William and every book from his bookshelf was on the ground "burying some treasure " he had found in his closet. I went in his closet and every hanger he could reach lay on the ground. I took a deep breath, thankful that nothing was broken and helped him clean it up. At least he stayed in his room!

So, when I was pregnant with Robert, I craved these "Ranch dipped Hot Wing" chips. Seriously wanted them all the time even though they  are burn your mouth spicy. Well, I hadn't had them since having Robert, so I bough them on a whim. Yeah, they are nasty...so I put them on the stairs with Francis's camping gear to take with him (so nice I know). Well, Robert keeps getting into the gear, digging out the chips and eating as many as he can before I catch him and take them away. I guess he really does like them, and that's why I craved them. Who knew?

That's really all I got. I need to get back to packing. Till next time!
