It really can't get any better than this

What a fun and exciting weekend! We managed to enjoy some fall weather and activities and we finally became a pacifier free household...HALLELUJAH!!!

We went to Beak and Skiff this weekend and Riley had a great time picking (and mostly eating) apples. She rode a horse by the name of Butterscotch and ate delicious apple fritters. It was the perfect fall day.



We also really got on the potty train. Riley has been "training" since March...but now it's 6 months later and we're wondering when the training is going to be over and the consistency begins. This weekend we began to be a little more consistent than we have in the past. Her sticker chart is filling up quickly and our M&M jar (peanut butter is the M&M of choice) is emptying. Riley did an awesome job using the potty this weekend. The goal is that her Christmas present to us is that she is underwear full time. That gives us 3 months to get our Christmas wish, of course, if comes earlier and ends up being a Halloween or Thanksgiving present, we're ok with that too! ;)



The biggest change/accomplishment of the weekend was giving up the fiers...FOR GOOD!!! Riley happily placed all of her fiers in a bag to be left for the Fier Fairy for the babies who need them. The next day she was left with a gift from the Fier Fairy (who coincidentally must be good friends with Tinker Bell since Riley was showered with Tinker Bell gifts).





We are so proud of Riley, who has no problem learning what being a big girl is all about.

We also had a wonderful family dinner with Babcha, Pop and Uncle Matt where we ate some apple crisp for dessert with the apples we picked on Saturday...DELISH!!!

What a fantastic weekend!!! We're all a little exhausted from it.


Can it really get any better than this????

Way to go Riley!!!

And Tinkerbell is one of Keira's absolute faves! We love the new movie so I know we'll watch it at least once on Girls Weekend!
