Fox's Treat

One of the reward systems we use with potty training, other than the M&Ms or jelly beans or Skittles (it depends on what we have on hand), is taking Fox to the train park. He has been in big boy underwear for almost two weeks (other than wearing a diaper at nap and night-time) and we're happy to report almost accident free!!!



You would think James and Mary would have saved a ton of money by owing their own train park at this rate. (This outing was at Desert Breeze in Chandler.)

We had some spare time at the train park and luckily, they had a splash pad for Fox to run around in! He LOVES water. It really should not be 108degrees in the middle of SEPTEMBER, should it?!



In the process of straightening out the paperwork, we came across Mary's Mom's birthday card. Whoops!

This photo was taken in Fox's playroom. There are a zillion other toys you can't see.

Now it is time for the Fantasy update (sorry to the Loyal Reader who this might spark no interest to!).

Please take note that even though James is rank #3, he has the second LOWEST score in the entire league at 159.22. It should also be stated that the person who does have the lowest score has NEVER logged on (even for the draft) to make any changes.

Mary rose out of the ashes from last week's very disappointing 68.42 to 100.10 to end up nice and in the middle at #6 with 168.52. She has quite a ways to catch up on the leaderboard but with Rodgers as her QB, it is certainly possible.

James and Mary both FAILED with return chasing. James picked up Gaffney with hopes he'd blow up the passing game for the Broncos when they played the Seahawks but that didn't happen. Then Mary picked up the Carolina defense thinking since they were playing the Buccaneers that it'd be easy points made, that didn't happen either. We always advised clients to avoid return chasing; we should have taken our own advice. Return chasing = FAIL.

Finally, the lineup of who we had for Week2:
Barking Spiders:
QB: Michael Vick
WR: Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne, Jabar Gaffney
RB: Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson
TE: Zach Miller
K: Jeff Reed (this guy is practically carrying the Steelers at this point)
D: Cowboys
Be Still My Gerhart!
QB: Aaron Rodgers
WR: Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, Malcom Floyd
RB: Fred Taylor, Brandon Jackson (you read right, Mary got him!)
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Nate Kaeding
D: Carolina


so this is us. nothing else to report. adios!

Mary, I keep scrolling to this fun post at the train park. We are going to try it out with Scott's parents when they come next weekend. The kids are way excited. It looks like Fox has a really fun time there. Any suggestions on other fun things to do there?
