It has been a while.
It has been a while since my last post and lots has happened since then. I'll make it short and sweet and try to catch up on events.
As we left off we were planning a trip to Playhouse Disney Live. Two days before a kid that sits next to Alivia was out of school with the flu. Of course Liv got a fever the next day and was also confirmed to having the flu. We went to the Disney show anyway because the kids were heart broken at the thought of missing it and we were a good 75 feet from anyone at the show cause our tickets were so cheap. The kids loved the show and had a great time. They still talk about it over a month later.
Two days after Alivia had the flu we all had the flu. It sucked but wasn't the worst illness we have had. We all recovered in about a week and were ready to take on The Georgia National Fair. Livi loves the fair but Dylan could take it or leave it. I of course got stuck riding all the rides with Alivia. Not that I really mind. And Cam and Dylan watched on the side. Dylan is not into riding things to much... unless it's a tractor or something of course. Livi rode the ponies and Diggy petted ponies. We laughed at the cows and then the kids picked their favorite scarecrows to take a picture in front of. Oh yeah and we can't forget about the famous pig races. They both enjoyed watching the pigs run for Oreo's.
Towards the end of October Alivia had a fall festival week at school. One day they got to go to the schools pumpkin patch and I was able to bring Dylan along with us. Dylan had a great time and quickly made friends once the other boys noticed he had race cars with him. On pumpkin patch day we took a hay ride around school grounds, has face painting, got to pick out a pumpkin to take home, did pumpkin story time, and went through a little maze they had set up for the kids. I forgot my camera so I only have pics from my cell phone.
On that Friday they had a festival feast and games. This day they had to dress up as scarecrows or farmers. I had to work fast and make her a scarecrow with two days notice but I think she was cute and she got lots of compliments. They ended their day with fun games. Dylan didn't get to come to this one and good thing because it was kinda crazy and someone would have probably gotten lost. My wonderful mother was kind enough to watch him. I think he kept her outside all day playing with cars in the dirt.
That afternoon we continued our battle to find a seasonal flu vaccine for Alivia. She should have gotten hers when Dylan got his but she was still recovering from having the flu. When she was well enough to get it I called to make an appointment and was told she didn't qualify for the vaccines at the dr's office because we have health insurance. Bunch of crap. So we ended up going to the county health department and paying for her to get a flu shot. The place was horrible and there was no where to sit, not that I wanted my kids nor I sitting in their cramped up waiting room. We ended up standing in the entrance to the bathroom for an hour and a half. We got it done but that reminds me that I still need to file that bill with the health insurance because I have nothing better to do....
Anyway later that night we had Trunk or Treat at Livi's school. The kids were super excited to finally get to wear their Minnie and Mickey costumes we had been working on. We didn't go to all lengths on the dress up for this night but they were both super cute if I do say so myself. Everyone thought Dylans tail was hilarious and he didn't spend the night chasing his tail so it all worked out nicely. Getting them to sit still for a picture is hard work now a days!
Then we had actual Halloween. I didn't get many pictures unfortunately. We did a hayride for our group of trick or treaters this year at mom and dad's house. It was fun, fast, and the kids didn't really care if we skipped some house because they were enjoying the ride. We painted Dylan's hair for this night because he IS Mickey Mouse. Just ask him. Alivia decided against painting her hair and that was ok too. I didn't really feel like washing it out of hers.
Since Halloween we have not had an exciting outing. Alivia had her cheer leading meeting that we went to. I think she will love it. The first practice starts on Dec 1 and she should get her uniform and pom poms then. I think she will finally believe me that she is a cheerleader then. She will have to remember a recite a Bible verse every week and I am ready to she my Lovebug be the star that she is! The first game is on January 2nd. Diggy is an official car-o-holic. He loves anything to do with cars or motors. Cam has been off work this past week and Diggy has been in Heaven working on cars and lawnmowers everyday. We did all have a stomach virus 5 days out of the 8 that Cam was off but we are all feeling better now. Our goal for coming weeks is to not get sick again. I don't think there is much out there left for us to catch so hopefully we can make it through the holidays healthy!
Until next time...
