NO SCHOOL/DENTIST
So I did the horrible mom thing and scheduled dentist appointments on the kids' day off. I know that makes me the worst mom ever. It was also the day before Halloween if that's not enough! Charity also had to go rework some stuff in Math and then go to a Costume fitting that day as well, so not as much of a day off as any of us would have liked. We spent a lot of time piddling around though :). And actually got more ready for Halloween so that was good.
THE AFTERMATH
The day after Halloween felt a little bla. I'm sure it had plenty to do with the sugar the day before. But it just felt bla. I was running around like a crazy person trying to get the house cleaned up without waking up Nate. We were late for Playgroup and missed Emily which was a total let down. Of course, there was one good thing about that- since I'd told Molly we were going to the park, she insisted that we stay. So I followed her around on the playground a little and got to watch her brave the bridge! She's been doing this a lot with Nate and with Charity when they've gone to the park so I hadn't seen her yet. She was so proud of herself and showed me a few times with great excitement! It was super cute. She's so deliberate in all that she does. Then I got her to brave the twisty slide which she LOVED! It was super cute. So I got to spend some much needed quality time with Molly. I think she deserves more of this, but it is definitely few and far between that we have the opportunity. So blessing in disguise I guess. Then Natalie showed up so we still got some adult interaction time :). That was nice. I think the more non-Primary interaction Natalie and I have, the better. 11-1-17
LUNCH WITH EMILY
Emily and I tried a new restaurant in Farmington called Franciscos. It was really good! And we of course had a great time, almost kidless, just cute little Jonah to smile at the whole time. Felt good to hang out again. It's been too long. 11-2-17
FIVE HOURS!!!
So, Thursday was the big day! I had no idea how big it was going to be until I'd been setting up Reflections night for FIVE LONG HOURS!! HOLY SMOKES!! And looking back, I think it was mostly setting out the entries that took so long! That and the banners. But it was a lot of fun to hang out with Krista and thankfully Charity and Kelly tag teamed it and helped too. Lots of work!! I will NEVER be over Reflections. I can say that right now. Krista did an amazing job though! I'm so grateful she was willing to take that on!! I owe her big time! 11-2-17
JAZZ TIP OFF PARTY
So since Krista had already been stood up by most of her "committee" I decided she needed help and stayed there while Nate took everyone else (minus Charity and Kelly) to the Jazz Tip Off Party. I totally missed out. And I'm still bitter about it. Just saying. But they all had a great time and hopefully we can recreate it at one of these other ones that they are doing. I'll have to have them write about it and we can post Nate's pictures. I did hear that Erika made two shots from the free throw line along with some of the other kids!! Pretty amazing! 11-2-17
LIFE INSURANCE PHYSICAL
We finally had our Life Insurance physical on Friday. Nate's been working hard to get his cholesterol down since the last one a couple years ago, so this was pretty big! Hopefully it paid off. I was pleased with most of the things in my physical, but my low blood pressure really got me thinking. I have a lot of weird symptoms lately that I figured could probably be attributed to that! Which is kind of good, kind of not. But really, it's not TOO low, so I'm probably fine, just some possible answers really. We'll see how the blood work goes I guess :). I'll be shocked if mine isn't better than last time. 11-3-17
BIRTHDAY TABLE WITH ERIKA
We did the weirdest thing ever this time and brought Erika Wendy's! No pizza, no Pizza Pie Cafe Oreo Pizza, just Wendy's kids meal. Which is what she requested, but I'll admit it felt very weird. And I was bummed the boys didn't come up and say hi :). But it's cuz we didn't have pizza! We had fun talking with Erika and she seemed to enjoy the spot light a little. It's always so short lived though! Not long enough that's for sure. We kissed her goodbye when she saw some of her friends go out to recess and then sat and talked to Shera til we needed to clean up our chairs :). Fun stuff. 11-4-17
BASKETBALL
Erika's season started up!! She played her first game on Saturday (yes, after running her little heart out!). She's got a great team! I think they'll be great! It's SO FUN to watch her play. 11-5-17
