Yay Hannah!

It's official...Hannah is potty trained and we all couldn't be more happy!  Don't get me wrong we still wear a diaper at night but that's easy!  Otherwise we are rolling here at HOL...DER...NESS.  Hannah loves to do this cheer lately as we watch a lot of the Holderness sporting games....the funny thing is she only says the NESS part and is so proud!
Mabel and Pat are off to school each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and Hannah and I have been busy on those days getting errands done, visiting the library, walking and hiking and some days staying close to home.  I love the schedule and I think the girls do to.  Mabel loves school and lights up every morning I tell her that is a school day for her....though she doesn't seem to mind the days home with Hannah and I either....I guess it is a good balance.  Mabel is really riding her bike now with confidence and learning to brake and has 90 percent mastered starting without a push.  Hannah is not far behind on the Skuut bike too.  We love biking and next Spring and Summer is going to be FUN.

At least 2 days this Fall we have been home all day which is nice as it is busy busy living on a high school campus.....not one step out the door....it's nice and the girls love being at home...they play well together and wow there imaginations really take them all over the map......well yesterday was one of those two days and after dinner we did get outside for a walk on campus in the dark....it was fun and the girls were running running running.  

 Hannah sitting up on the counter of our kitchen....a favorite place to eat, watch the world go by and help us cook!
 I bought two bags of play sand the other day, which wasn't easy as it is the "end of the play sand season" but boy'o boy what a great investment of fun.  
 Yay we found the cows at the Sandwich Fair.....the animals were a hit as usual.
 Oh yeah and the merry-go-around!
 Yup that's a double pooping reading situation...their too funny.
 Always trying to get a "normal" picture of these two.
 These 8 friends always get along great.....this after lunch gathering was warm, sunny and FUN.
 Here I am riding my bike.
 Making necklaces with the bead kit Tessa and Aven got Mabel for her birthday.  I do try to keep clothes on these girls but somedays are easyier then others!
 More Merry-go-around!

Well there looking and smiling!
