October Happenings

Monday was Columbus Day, observed, so Nate had work off and since Logan is in Kindergarten and I have half day work, we were able to go do something fun after Logan and I came home. We went and got some Fizz drinks (thanks to a gift card from one of my students), then took a drive up Trapper's Loop to see the Fall colors. We finally caught the leaves at a good time and we saw lots of colors! Ogden canyon was especially beautiful. We stopped at Rainbow Gardens to hike the Birdsong trail. Since I was so pregnant, we didn't hike the whole thing (even though it is a short hike). But I just can't do it with how much pain I was in when I walked. I think I did pretty good though. On the way home, we stopped by Burger King in Ogden to eat dinner. It was a fun little family outing!

On Wednesday, we had the last ultrasound and brought the kids too. Logan is getting really excited about the baby coming, but I'm not sure if Kylie really understands it yet. We also made the appointment for the C-section! It will be Nov. 6, so exactly one week before the due date. It's coming up fast! I need to finish all my sub plans and finish getting everything ready for baby at the house!

Saturday was Logan's last soccer game and then we went to the temple in the afternoon. It had been a little while since we had been and it will probably be a little while before we can go again with the baby coming soon, so it was good to go.

The next week was pretty chill. But we did make it to DI to buy Kylie a new big girl bed! DI has some new beds they sell there that are made of wood and really sturdy. That is where we bought Logan's so we decided to buy Kylie's there too since they will have to share a room. We got the bed put together and put on the new bedding that we bought for Kylie. It is Mini Mouse, who she loves, and it matches the Mickey Mouse bedding that Logan has. They did a good job of going to sleep the first night, but the 2nd night was not good. I had to sit in their room for an hour before they finally fell asleep because they were so wound up. Hopefully it will get better!

Tuesday the 24th, we went to Pack Farms pumpkin patch! We didn't pay to do the extra activities, so the kids did the hay maze, then explored the farming tractors, photo ops, and then found our pumpkins! One for carving and one for painting.

Friday the 27th, we painted pumpkins! Logan went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch and came home with a pumpkin! So we got another little one for Kylie from the pumpkin patch so they could pain them. We did it outside so that I wouldn't have to stress about the mess as much.

 Finished products!

Saturday, the 28th, we came down to American Fork so that Nate and Logan could go to a BYU game and so the kids could go to a Halloween party that my mom put on for the kids. I guess Logan got bored pretty quickly but he seemed to enjoy just spending time with his dad.

The kids got to wear their Halloween costumes to the party. Kylie was Snow White (I've been wanting her to be Snow White ever since she was born!) and Logan was a skeleton. I also wore the one I made to wear at school. I put some red tape on a white shirt around my belly to look like a baseball. Each of us mom's were in charge of some sort of activity or food. I did Halloween BINGO since I already had some from school. Tiff did a mummy challenge (who could wrap up another person the fastest in toilet paper), and she did a pin the spider on the web, and I think it was Kristy who did a candy corn race.The kids had to pick up a spoonful of candy corn and carry it to the other side, then drop it in a bowl. Whichever team had the most candy corn, won! I believe Missy made a soup. My mom made all sorts of cute Halloweeny treats.

Logan as a mummy:)

For some reason, I don't have any other pictures from this event! I didn't even get the kids in their costumes! Whoops!

Some random pictures from October:

Logan and Kylie set up a "Movie Theater." I love the babies joining in.

I really wanted to get the house clean, so we dressed up (Ky has a two-two on), turned on some music and worked. Unfortunately, they didn't last as long as I wanted them to!

Don't know what this picture is for

 Charlie had to get shots. The poor thing was shaking so badly at the vet because he was so scared! But he seemed to recover just fine once we got back home.
