Oct. '18- Week 2- Jr. Jazz, Bethany Field Trip, Fall Festival, McKenna's Show, Webster October BDs.

Monday was a normal day of laundry, homework, vacuuming, and Desi came over to play.  That evening we took John and Rachael Alexander to ODT's "Thriller!"  Always love that show!  I left Alice for the first time with Mickelle.  We left a bottle and Mickelle tried to give it to her for bedtime, but she wouldn't take it.  Oh well.  

Tuesday I went to Jan Evans' scripture class but this time took a turn in the co op nursery.  That afternoon Anna had a hard time going to ballet again.  She said she would just miss me too much.  :(  But it was pretty embarrassing to have her crying, screaming, and clinging to me when I left.  Ben had his first Jr. Jazz practice/game that night and enjoyed it.  The girls liked climbing on the rock wall at the rec center.  Dan worked that night on hiding our TV cords in the wall.  
Wednesday I went back to the temple for the first time since having Alice!  I did some Initiatories and saw Dan's mom who was working her regular shift. 

Thursday Anna had a play date at Annie's house.  Ben and McKenna got checked out for school for a bit to help with a work event for Dan. Cutest little sign holders! 
I went with Bethany on a preschool field trip to the Pack Farms Pumpkin Patch.  Bethany called it a "punkatch."  Unfortunately, my phone kind of crapped out and started having some major issues with the screen going dark.  Thankfully, Lara and Hailey were there as well and she got some great pictures!  The girls loved this rolley slide! 



I got this cute video of Bethany and Alice squealing at each other! 
That night I went to dinner with Mickelle, Bonnie, and my long time friend Mary who was in town from Germany for a wedding!  It was so great to catch up as always!  
Friday I went to ladies lunch and ran some errands.  That night was the kids' Fall Festival at their school.  It was great fun!  Anna kept saying, "I look like the real Cinderella!"  The girls especially loved being able to wear make-up.  After kids were in bed Dan put together a new end table for our family room.  

Saturday we attended Ben's friend Jordan Slaugh's baptism!  Dan helped the Ulmers move into their new house, mowed, and stained our new stairs in the back.  McKenna had two shows that day with Backstage.  Grandma and Grandpa were able to come to the first show.  Then we went to dinner at Z Brother's Pizza and I headed back to see McKenna's second show.  Mickelle, Jonathan, and Camille Roth came to that one.  
The show was called "Bring Me Back to Life."  They sung and danced to songs with Halloween themes like I Want Candy, I'm In Love With a Monster, Bad Blood...
Their makeup was especially awesome! 


After much deliberation, I decided to give Alice's hair (mullet) a trim.  I was pretty nervous I wouldn't be able to make it look even, but I think I did alright. :) 
Sunday was a normal day at church.  Sunday school was about eternal marriage and YW was about counting our blessings.  That afternoon we watched "Charlie Brown, Great Pumpkin" and "American Legends" (Tall Tales).  We had Webster family dinner that night to celebrate October birthdays which is our McKenna. :)
