Top Ten- October!


I am really excited that October is here; and Halloween is on its' way! Here's highlights of the past week:
10-I made it to the dermatologist- I am paranoid about my freckles; but I am okay!
9- Bookclub night to review a fascinating book: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.
8- We look at upgrading our carpet and getting rid of the dreaded tile in the kitchen- I might get a "new" house after all!
7- Music class for Bobby is working out so well- he loves it.
6- Jordan's soccer game is in pouring rain on Saturday- he was worried he wouldn't play well in rain on wet grass; but scored around ten goals anyway!



5- Going to my first Parenting with Love and Logic class; I am SO excited to learn more and am encouraged that I can be the fun-loving, nurturing mom after all.
4- General Conference: I realize this should be my number one- but it was awesome as usual and I am catching up on the Sat. sessions I missed for soccer and birthday.
3- Bobby Turns 3! I have been praying for a miracle: to survive the "________" insert adjective "Two's" with Bobby- and I think we have made it!
2- Ryan surprises Bobby with his own trike with bell and is thrilled! He can make it around the block without having any tantrums or crying- a month ago I counted 19 tantrums- this is a small block, people!
1- Enjoying Bobby's Birthday- Soccer, lunch, movie, swimming, and cake. What more could a boy want? How about a red helmet? Check.
