Monday, October 16 - For family night (plus we invited Savy), we attempted to make Carnival Cruise-line's Chocolate Melting Cake. It was pretty good and tasted a lot like it but it wasn't as melty as it should have been. I think I just over-baked it. We'll try again though! :)
Tuesday, October 17 - Ricki had her pumpkin patch field trip this morning. She loved it and I loved being there with her! It's strange only taking one child to these things. For so many years, I had a younger sibling or two in tow. I'm savoring these precious memories because I know they will soon be over. Love this baby girl!!
Wednesday, October 18 - In preparation for our upcoming family pictures, Simon got his hair trimmed. It's still super long sexy man hair but it now has a nicer shape. :)
Thursday, October 19 - The kids went to school Monday, Tuesday, and half a day Wednesday and now they're off for fall break. Kendra had a sleepover with Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim. They went on an adventure on Trax to downtown Salt Lake. She had a blast! Meanwhile, I dragged the other kids around with me to find some clothes for pictures. I LOVED this shirt I found for Zack at Walmart but they didn't have it in his size. The one I got him was clearly too big. I sent Simon around town trying to find one on his way home from work but to no avail. Oh well, solid blue shirt for him instead. :)
Friday, October 20 - Family pictures! I have to be honest, I'm not in love with them but they're okay. At least we got a cute one with a Christmas tree for Christmas cards.
Saturday, October 21 - I have been trying to find the time to go through the kids' clothes in the garage. Simon had to move the 4-wheelers out to get tint on the garage windows so it seemed like as good a time as any to go through everything. It took me hours and hours but the project is finally done and I feel much more organized! I also got my book club book "read" by listening to it on an audio format. Two birds, one stone!
Sunday, October 22 - Our family went over to the Merrill's for dinner tonight. I unfortunately didn't get a picture of us but Liz posted this on FB of her adorable kids. All the kids had fun catching up with their long-lost friends. It was a very fun evening!
