Halloween & Other Happenings

Okay, so I left off with GameBoy scoring his 1st goal, but a lot has happened since then.
That night we went to the ward Halloween party...the kids had fun playing with their friends& eating. Charles let SuperDashMan borrow one of his past costumes, they were both characters from a Narnia movie. Princess AJ kept going back for donuts, but would only eat the top. I had a scare with Baby J. He was in the nursery playing (an adult was present) I went to check on the other kids...when I went back he wasn't there. I found him in heaven, playing with balls in the CH.














Sunday 10/26- We went to my brothers in Mission Viejo for dinner and to see my nephew receive his Eagle Scout award. It ended up being a very long night for the kids, but we were very glad to be there to support him. My Dad was also in town for this (he lives in Texas.)
Monday10/27- Not much exciting.
Tuesday10/28-Had a lot of help from others. JimDaddy worked early and I didn't feel like taking him to work so early, so I asked my mom if she could drop us off at school in the morning. I just had to walk home after I signed in Princess AJ to preschool.
Later my neighbor was coming home and saw that I was walking to go pick up Amy she asked if I wanted to borrow her car. She also let me borrow her car for the later pickups. Later she shared pomegranetes with us. It was very exciting for me because I hadn't had that since I was a little kid. My kids on the otherhand weren't as excited as I was. Thanks!














Wednesday10/29- This was the last day of school for the week because of staff development days Thursday & Friday. Princess AJ had a class party-they got to trick or treat around their room. Then there was a school Halloween parade that we watched. GameBoy didn't feel like wearing his costume to school, but he was still in the parade. After school we went to Grandma & Grandpa Jenkins to fix part of SuperDashMan's costume (we also played some Wii). Next we went home to get ready to go to the Fall Festival at Grandma's school. Grandma got all the grandkids tickets to use there. Thank You Grandma! GameBoy & SuperDashMan came home with goldfish that they won there. They were so excited. JimDaddy thought they wouldn't last overnight , but they did. Last night(11/2) there was a mishap when JimDaddy was cleaning out the bowl one of the fish jumped into the garbage disposal.
This is the same fish that JimDaddy said he saw nearly jumping out of the bowl a couple of times. Needless to say JimDaddy couldn't save the fish, but then he grossed me out and turned on the disposal. I had to tell GameBoy because it was his fish. The other fish looks lonely now.
Thursday10/30- No school and I was babysitting. Crazy me I went to Wal-mart with all of them. We got fish food, laundry soap & quarters (with one trip to the bathroom). Thursday night/Friday morning Amy woke up throwing up.
So...Friday10/31- We didn't do anything, we let Princess AJ rest all day. After JimDaddy got home from work we went to Grandma & Grandpa Jenkins for pizza dinner & trick or treating. Princess AJ stayed behind to help pass out candy with Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa.
Saturday11/1- I went to help with prop. 8 stuff in the morning and took Baby J. with me. On the way home he threw up in the car. I was getting breakfast ready after we got home and he continued to throw up ( the same as Princess AJ had about a couple days before). JimDaddy went to work and Grandma took GameBoy and SuperDashMan to the Soccer game.
Guess who was next to get sick?...SuperDashMan.
I called JimDaddy and he was able to get off work early to come home and help me out. Later that night we (GameBoy, Princess AJ and I) went to get some groceries.
We encountered some great service. One guy was cleaning the area where they give out samples, but it was too late for that. We walked by a couple times and he ended up giving us some granola bars and fruit drink. The guy helping us check out let me use a 2nd coupon , so I ended up getting $11 dollars off my total. As we were loading up in the car we were talk about how we hadn't had dinner yet then Princess AJ says "I don't have any energy". Rewind to earlier that afternoon she asked me "why do we eat?" I told her to give our bodies energy to learn & grow.
Yesterday-Only some of us went to church...the non sick ones.
JimDaddy cooked an early turkey dinner...what a great man I have!
This morning Princess AJ woke up early with wet pants, then an hour or 2 later GameBoy woke up sick , then I felt it coming on. Lucky for all of us JimDaddy was off today. He was doing laundry and dishes from last night super early this morning while GameBoy and I were sick. I haven't thrown up since this morning, but I still feel yucky. Our Saturday (11/1) morning breakfast.
