SO proud of my new boots

New Uggs!

I had gotten these for Athena for Christmas. She caught me checking them out when they came in the mail and FLIPPED OUT AND NEEDED THEM ON RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! So she got them and hopped up on the table to show them off. She'd sleep in them if I let her.

It's a big deal in the Brocus house

For some time now Athena has been 110% against the idea of using the potty. We're talking kicking and screaming against the potty. So we were pretty stoked when she started wanting to watch US go "pee pee" and even more excited when she wanted to start hanging out on the potty.

Over the weekend, while thumbing through a Rolling Stone, she peed on the potty. 'Twas a proud moment :)

We still can't push the issue with her, but she's MUCH more open to negotiations.

Have you ever heard a better singing voice?

The butt slapping segment is second to none.

Why I don't have time for real cleaning:

Trick or Treat!

O-H-I-O! GOOOOO BUCKS!

Proudly posing with her pumpkin.

Witchy-poo.

Athena is a makeup artist too!

Athena found another crippet

She wanted to take him for a walk.

She got in "Dukes of Hazard" style to make sure he wasn't squished.

Here they are hanging out...

But along came Zoe, claiming she just wanted a peek.

It turned out her motives weren't so innocent...

Don't worry. The crippet lived to see another day.
