Wow! I can't believe how we can seem to cram so many different things into our time. Since the last time I posted, we have done so many things. I can remember thinking to myself almost every day that I needed to blog so that I wouldn't forget but of course, I forgot. I seem to forget a lot of things actually. I keep thinking that there is something wrong with me and I would actually love to find someone who would agree with me and then fix it! I am developing another theory because I don't really want anything to be wrong with me. I think I am just running out of room to store info in my head and my to-do list is spilling onto the floor of my brain where I am left to pick up and sort through all the notes. Someone should come over and clean up that mess.
Anyway, we went to Utah for my nephew's baptism and our Thanksgiving dinner with my family. We had such a great time eating at my Grandma's house. The kids had fun playing with cousins and even some 2nd cousins.
Kale read his first chapter book in about a week. He finished it last Saturday. He also won a coloring contest at our church Harvest dinner and now he has decided he loves coloring. This is after years of hating coloring! Thank you to those who chose his picture to be a winner!
Another ward Harvest dinner is under my belt. That makes three, I think. We had a ham dinner and played Minute To Win It games for entertainment. It was very entertaining.
Halloween consisted of the trunk-or-treat at the church with the other ward. Hadley and Kale made quite a haul from that small amount of candy gathering. Seila and Kai were at a friend's halloween party so they didn't come. Justin wasn't feeling well so he didn't go either. I'll try to get some pics up of the kids. Oh man, I hope that I remembered to even take pictures.
Last week we had dentist appts. All went well, no cavities! So I took the kids for ice cream at Dairy Queen. That was a fun day.
Thursday was Veteran's Day so the kids didn't have any school. They hung out at home. Justin and I left early to go to Tri-Cities. We went to the temple and did some shopping. Then we went to a wedding reception in Pasco on the way home and visited with old friends (after wishing the bride and groom our congratulations of course).
Friday was a football game in Wenatchee that Justin and Seila went to. Kai had an overnight campout at his scoutmasters house (brrr!) and the rest of us stayed home and watched a movie (Wall-E) and ate oreos.
Saturday Justin, Hadley and Kale helped me plant the daffodil bulbs that I bought a month ago. Then we cleaned up some of the back yard leaves, stirred the compost, and mowed the lawn. That was all before lunch. After lunch, Detton and Ben came over. Sierra, Zoe, and Carter came over. I sewed a dress and tights for Hadley and then a skirt for myself. Justin went to a worldwide training mtg in Othello. As soon as I finished my skirt, he came home and we headed in to Moses Lake to run a couple of errands and then dinner with Sean and Amber at Sunami Sushi's.
Sunday brought church, of course. Jen, Det, and Ben came over for lunch. Brandon and the two other boys were in Idaho picking up Jen's baby grand piano. Our home teachers came over and then Justin and Kai had stake priesthood meeting in Othello. When they got home, bed time.
