Oct 9 - 15

 

Monday, October 9 - Look how cute Viv's nails turned out! I kind of love them and want them on my own fingers. :)

Tuesday, October 10 - It was a day of appointments today. First thing this morning, Simon had an injection done on his back. Hopefully this helps him, poor guy! Then this afternoon, Nick and Kendra had dermatology appointments. Being a teenager is hard enough so I don't want them to have to deal with acne on top of everything else. 

Wednesday, October 11 - I went on a field trip with Ricki today. It started out good. We went to This is the Place in Salt Lake. She insisted on sitting next to me on the bus, not by her friends. By lunch, she was reduced to tears. Her tummy hurt and she just wanted to lay down. I let her lay on my lap but there was nowhere else for her to go. I did have her eat a little but she wouldn't eat much. Then, by this afternoon, she was all smiles and happiness. She seemed okay to me later but then when we got home, she fell asleep on the floor so I don't know if she was really sick or if she just had some anxiety but either way, it ended up being a good day.

Thursday, October 12 - Mom gave me tomatoes from her garden and I have enjoyed canning them today. I'm excited for all the yummy hot soups and dishes I'll be able to make this winter with these!

Friday, October 13 - We keep talking at bunco about how much fun it would be to be able to go out and just visit without the game looming over us. Today, we made that happen...sort of. Obviously not everyone was able to come but there were us five pictured plus Meg (she left before we got this pic). It was really fun! Ricki and I are going to embark on a project that may or may not pan out. I want to take this old dress of mine, cut the bodice off, and make it a skirt for Ricki to wear. We'll see if it ends up turning out. :)

Saturday, October 14 - It was our annual pumpkin patch day! We started out at Las Glorias for lunch then the whole fam headed over to the patch. As always, we enjoyed walking around, picking out pumpkins, and posing for ALL the pictures. :) I love my family!

Sunday, October 15 - It was another beautiful Sunday evening where we were able to eat and play outside. I am loving this weather! I hope it stays for at least a few more weeks!
