Mother’s of preschoolers, regardless of party affiliation, know that President Obama was borrowing his famous “Yes We Can” campaign line from Bob the Builder.
In which Bob asks,
Can We Fix It?
To which the machinery responds:
Yes, We Can!
We were inspired by Bob’s “Yes We Can'” spirit in our potty training endeavors. And to celebrate our “Yes We Did!!!!!”, we went diaperless AND strollerless to The Children’s Museum to visit the Bob the Builder Exhibit.
Bob and his friends did not disappoint. We had a grand time and checked out most of the museum before heading home.
We packed up the potty chairs and joined 30,000 Butler Fans today (Bandwagon or not, we love ya!) for a FREE Final Four Event at Lucas Oil Stadium. I was a little click happy and took over 100 pictures. Love that my boys got to experience a little taste of the Final Four atmosphere.
More about our day later. I’m too excited/nervous/pumped/psyched/stoked/anxious/giddy to post much right now.
Because for a few more hours the score will remain tied…
Our Monkey Madness actually began last weekend at the Indianapolis Zoo Boo. They host a great kickoff event and opportunity to get another wear out of the year’s Halloween Costumes.Our first attempt at going with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kristy was a wash (literally),but it was a good practice run and the Mexican grub afterwards more than made up for the lack of candy. Our second attempt with Gramma and Grampa was a hit! We didn’t go through the trouble of making the “bed float” for our visit, but a lot of other families picked up on our theme of “Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed”.
Hope you’re in the mood to “Monkey Around”, because there’s bound to be monkey overload on the ole blog this week!
Love the curly tails!
Not too shabby for a group shot with 4 two year olds!

I have some “monkey business” to complete or else “I’ll go bananas”! But don’t worry, I won’t “monkey around” too long, and I’ll have some more pictures and stories to share!
Until then, hope you enjoy our family Halloween Costume for 2009 and don’t forget to send me your entry for our little contest this week! (I’ve been getting some super cute entries and can’t wait to see more!)
I think it happens to every boy at some point in their lives. They fall madly in love with dinosaurs. It happened to our boys following their Dino Encounter at The Children’s Museum.
Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean the Quadysseys must come to an end. In fact, I think the Quadysseys are here to stay! The pumpkin patch and apple orchard has become an annual tradition that we hope to continue with the boys for years to come. This year’s pumpkin patch trip proved to be even more fun than the previous years. Watching four little boys take in the surroundings and adventures of fall brings our hearts so much joy. I hope by sharing some of our captured memories it will bring you joy as well!
And a few video highlights:
Have I mentioned how much I love this time of year?
