We've had a fun and busy week. Monday morning, I got some grocery shopping done and tried to get some pumpkins to carve, but Walmart and Brookshires were both out of pumpkins!!! Dan managed to get some on his way home, so the kids were still able to carve pumpkins for FHE that night. They had a great time, and I had fun walking up and down the block with David to look at Halloween decorations.
Tuesday was a typical day, David and I had a nice morning and the kids had a good day at school. In the evening, i had institute and that was it - I was beat!
Wednesday was Halloween - but it was a rainy day. :( It drizzled/rained/poured all day long. I watched a friend's daughter for her while she had her doctor's appointment, she's a sweet little girl, and she fell asleep near the end. I made some lunch for my friend since she had to fast for the doctor's appointment, and we had a nice time eating and chatting together. After dinner and scriptures, we set off around the neighborhood ready to pass out candy - and thankfully, the rain let up just enough for trick-or-treating! It was still chilly, but the kids had a good time. The neighborhood was just full of kids walking around with their families! Our last neighborhood had plenty of people handing out candy, but not a whole lot of kids trick-or treating, so it was fun to have so much of the neighborhood out and about to meet with and chat with! After making the rounds, we headed home for a good nights sleep. The kids all wore the same costumes as for the party last week, but David looked so cute and ready to go! He was so happy to get to walk around the neighborhood, but didn't really care about the candy. He LOVED a big inflated, moving black can on someone's lawn. He kept crouching down and growling at it! It was so cute and so funny! Plus he didn't want to leave it!
Thursday was a nice quiet day for recovery! And a bit of a crazy kid day after all the excitement. I had choir in the evening which was wonderful - then home and to bed!!!
Friday was Eileen's birthday. I can't believe that my oldest daughter is 14. She is really an amazing young woman. She wanted a Voltron cake for her birthday, so Dan made that for her Thursday night, and she wanted Chicken Roll-ups and brussel sprouts for dinner. She got a cute shirt from us and a really cute skirt from Grandma and Grandpa Jones. All in all, it was a nice evening.
Saturday was rather crazy busy. In the morning, The girls and I set off for the church for a women's 5K run. They were giving out Tiaras for the first 60 people - and Anna wanted one, so we headed over a little early. Then we did the 5k. Anna heard that they were giving out sashes to the first 3 places and she really wanted one, so she headed out strong and managed to be the 3rd finisher!! She was so amazing! Evelyn also did a great job! I walked with Eileen and we walked and chatted the whole way, we fell in with another sister near the end and finished last together :) We had a fun breakfast together, then headed home. At noon, we headed back to the church for a baptism for the daughter of some of our friends, then we got home in time to get things ready for family coming over.
My parents and Sandi and her kids came over to celebrate Eileen and Mom's birthdays. We had a yummy lunch followed by opening presents. Eileen got a bow and arrows and target and she was so excited! She wants to be an archer. :) After, we had cake, then Dan took Eileen to go shoot for a bit, then we all just had a fun afternoon playing and chatting and the kids had a blast riding bikes in front of the house. James finally started riding his two wheeler! He still needs a bit of help to get started, but once he gets going, he does great!! He is so proud of himself!
This is just a cute picture of David after baths. :)
