Our October

As I sit here with my bowl of Edys Vanilla Bean ice cream, I realize I really need to blog about SOMETHING, ANYTHING. So, since October is in essence, at an end, I figured I would give a recap of our adventures. We were daddy-less the beginning of the month, followed by Hunter's blessing and a birthday party for two (all in the same weekend). Happy Birthday Julia and Jocelyn!! Followed briefly with sick children (that caused me to reschedule BOTH appointments I had this month) and finished off with a move that took a week to accomplish and will continue to span the next few months (we're downsizing)!




The move will be good for us - I like that there is more room to live here. Melanie has been doing GREAT with school!! GO GREEN DAYS!!! Yipee!! Although in the grand scheme of things - I think public schools have it in for our young ones. They will get less desirable colors (yellow, red) for "working" (read fighting) things out with peers. They promptly receive a green day (very ideal color) for tattling on everyone around them. ugh.... and thus the tattling phase has begun. At least we see those green days and have stopped receiving little notes stating our child has bitten another child or keeps messing with another girls hair!! What has the educational system come to??? On an up note, Melanie has been reciting her months of the year and other random facts throughout the day - VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
