the weeks wrap up

our week looked a little something like this

Heath at union meetings

waiting to see if they will be going on strike

it's a day to day thing right now

I read these two books

both really good

I only wish they wouldn't of ended so quickly

there is always more to the story that I want to know 

setting out fall and halloween decorations

the kids aren't sure on costumes yet

right now it's looking like a soldier and zombies

 the leaves are starting to change colors now

everything is looking so beautiful

I sent a letter to my surrogate grandma Elva,  a friend to my grandparents

I call her my surrogate since all of my grandparents have passed

since my grandma died we've been writing back and forth

Saturday was my grandpa's 96th birthday

maybe there was a little celebration for him up in heaven

the weather was so beautiful at the beginning of the week

and then it cooled off a little

but that didn't stop these two from spending time outside

swinging, playing basketball, and tossing a football around

they've been playing together a lot

it's nice

the kids were out of school on thursday and friday 

so we had a long weekend together

we went to some thrift stores trying to look for costume parts and pieces

but didn't find any 

I couldn't believe it though when I found this

a toy/calculator I had as a kid

I love the memories it brings back

once I saw these treats I had to make them for Ryan

since a PB & J sandwich is part of his diet

morning, noon or night  

 the kids were not looking forward to flu shots 

so I sent a note in their lunch saying

"ice cream with mom and dad after school"

little did they know flu shots would be happening first

we let the kids pick the order of how they wanted to do it

Ryan said he would go first because he just wanted to get it over with (smart kid),

Cody didn't care when he went so he went second

Luke insisted that he went third even though I told him the waiting was the worst part (he had himself completely freaked out by the time it was his turn, it was a little bit funny)

the really funny thing was that you had to be seven years old there for a flu shot so we had to take Ryan (my brave boy) to the doctors where he was just given the flu mist 

of course Luke was not happy about that and didn't think it was fair at all

 this kid has been talking non stop (even more so than usual)

about his up and coming birthday

he already is trying to figure out what to spend

his birthday money and gift cards on

and he hasn't even gotten them yet

this could turn out to be a very long month

for us all 

happy october!
