Randomness

Is it October already?  

And the 8th?  

Wow, where have I been, what have we been up to?

I'm glad you asked.

Abigail was sick at the beginning of the month. Fevers, cough, sore throat.

While Abigail was home sick she learned how to make friendship bracelets.

Ash is enjoying preschool and loves when it is 'show and tell' day.

I recently made a wreath for fall.

I have burlap waiting to be made into a table runner.

Jason has been really busy at work.  All his hard work paid off, he had a great visit.  And today starts his 10 day vacation at home! 

Abigail has a 5 day weekend.

Ashy got her kindergarten shots today.  She's 38 lbs (50%) and 43 1/2 inches (75%).

Have you seen the (huge) pumpkins at Walmart for only $2.98.  I bought 4 to add to the corn stalks on the front porch.

Abigail and I canned peaches together.

We've been enjoying pumpkin bread for breakfast.

I'm excited for all the things we have planned this month. I'm afraid October will fly by.

And just a side note, Christmas is in 78 days.

last week ...

We finished swim lessons. The girls made big improvements in just 2 weeks of lessons. We are so proud of them. The girls favorite part... being in the same class with the boys.

Melissa and I weren't sure how it would work out, but they did great being together.

We met friends at the park for a play date before school started for most of them. I was also blindsided by someone bringing to my attention that Ashlynn will be turning 4 next month. What? How did that sneak up on me?

My sister and the kids came over and hung out one day.

I've been doing a lot of shopping at Albertson's, just ask the girls. The kids are starting to make "coupon" remarks to me. Abigail got a coupon for oil changes and yelled, "hey, mom, more coupons for you!"

We had many play dates with the boys throughout the week.

Friday night we (Mom and Dad, Clay and Sis, Jason, Abigail and I) headed down to the Firebird Raceway to watch the Night Fire Nationals. I hadn't been there since I was a kid.

The school posted the student class list and Abigail found out that she is in the same class as her friend Kennedy. The girls are so excited.

Saturday we celebrated Jason, Dad and Clay's birthday with a family BBQ. Clay had his friend Tyler over for the party and our little Ash took a liking to him. Today she told us she was going to marry him. Jason made some comment about the age gap and I said that's about our age difference, almost 4 and 12 is kinda like 31 and 38. Funny!

And today, well, I'm busy fighting a head cold and hoping that tomorrow I'll wake up feeling 100% again. We've only got one more full week left before school starts and I want to be able to enjoy it, our last week of summer vacation.

Happy Week!
