Thanksgiving and week 3 of the playoffs

It has been a busy past couple of weeks. We had a bye week the first week of playoffs and went down to Rock Hill, SC to visit Josh's family for Thanksgiving. Then this past weekend played Western Illinois in the snow and won. This week we are playing Villanova at noon on ESPN and it will be crazy as I have a special event at work (Gingerbread house making) and will go straight to the game, but luckily my mom is coming up to help with Jake.

Tonight we finally had time to get the Christmas tree up and Jake loved decorating it with candy canes. He loves the Christmas tree and actually likes Santa this year. We will see how he does when we see him at the mall. So far he has seen him twice and done well.

Potty training is doing alright. He pee peed on the potty tonight before his bath time and I think tried a couple times at school. It cracks me up because we he doesn't have to go he says" There's no water in there".

He loves candy canes but candy doesn't always work for bribing him to try peeing on the potty.

Below are some pictures of Jake decorating the tree, Jake at our Christmas Tree lighting at the Y and Paige and I with Peyton and Jake after church.

Just because this is like a scrapbook for myself I have to put down two memories:

1) Jake putting my sister's my Buddy in time out for kicking him
2) These days everything is "mine" and "a big one". So if its a piece of candy its he says "it's mine and then asks "it's a big one mommy?"

We just got him snow boots at Target yesterday and he loves them so much he wore them to school today and walked around with them on the wrong feet because he put them on himself and didn't want to take them off.
