The month of October brought nothing but sickness for the whole month, we are still recovering. Halloween is around the corner and we are hoping that we all stay well through the holidays to come. During are well moments we were able to get garden all cleaned up and enjoy the last fruits of our labors. Its sad to see those juicy tomatoes go but the more pregnant I get the less motivated I am for bottling. I was somewhat glad to see it go this year.
We finished up our soccer games and have been to the cabin quite a few times soaking up the beauty and mountain air. I have begun our holiday shopping, hoping to keep the craziness of it all in check so I can relax and wait for this sweet baby to come.
We are settled into our school routine and both the boys love to go and tell us all about it when they get home. After this last storm I am trying to think up new ways of entertainment for the boys since its too chilly outside to play.
Our latest is an art project, which was originally going to be for Jaxon to do for Reflections at school but the theme was Diversity Means... and you can't get a six year old to explain and understand what diversity means. So we ended up doing the project with all three of them and it was a lot of fun. It reminded me of when I was little and loved to draw and was pretty good at it. I don't know where that talent went to, I must have stopped doing it and it left me. This brought back a little spark.
We sadly had to say goodbye to our babysitter Kristina she has watched the kids consistently since Jake was 8 months old. She was like a second mother to them and she knew exactly how to handle each of my kids perfectly and was perfectly patient, like our own Mary Poppins but younger and so much cuter!!! She is expecting in November and now its her turn to be super mom, which we know she will. I love her like a sister and always will. She threw the kids a Halloween party to get them all excited about the holiday and it did it! We are on a sugar high at our house and the holidays are just beginning.
