November!!

Another month has come and we are about to wrap up this year and another blog book. I cannot wait to see what this one will look like when I get this year complete. It is so much fun to read back over our lives through my ramblings. I can't wait to read them in 5, 10, and 20 years. I am most excited to have these memories in print for the kids.
Okay on to the week. Monday we had school, Jazzercise, Groceries and them came home and started laundry from the weekend. Grandma Wanda came out and joined us for supper and then helped with bath and bed time as Mike was at a meeting. She did not stay with us but it is always nice to see her if even just for a couple hours. Tuesday we just took Rachel to school and then stayed home and cleaned and did laundry. I made a new recipe for supper; white chicken chili. The girls were not huge fans but overall it turned out good. Wednesday Rachel did not have school due to an in service so she was able to go to Jazzercise with us. After Jazzercise Lisa went with me and we took all the kids in for shots. Rachel won or lost with the most shots at 5. She is now done with shots until she is in 7th grade accept for the annual flu shot. She did great; there were no tears and just a little complaining. Becca just got the flu shot and did not cry during the shot but we had many tears until nap time over the band aid and the sore leg. Alec had 4 shots and some tears but they were quickly resolved with some hugs and kisses from mommy and Lisa! After shots we all went for coffee and treats at Gracie Mae's then home for naps and lunch.
Thursday was Halloween and Rachel was up and ready for school with plenty of time to play. She loved getting into her witch costume and had a great time at her school party. After school we came home for lunch and naps before headed to town for a Halloween Party and trick or treating. We stopped at Mike's office, Gracie Mae's and Grandma Priest's house before heading to the Covey residence to eat and go Trick-or-Treating. Michelle was so kind and offered to watch Alec while Mike and I took the girls out and then we all met back up at The Covey's around 8.
Friday the kids and I went to mass and then to lunch at Gracie Mae's. After lunch we came home for naps. Mike got home mid afternoon and we all enjoyed some snuggles and watching the Crood's movie. Saturday morning we got up and headed to Kearney. We enjoyed some lunch and then did some shopping before heading over to a friend's house to watch the game. We all had a great time at the True residence and the kids all played really well together. After the game we headed to Alma to spend the night. This morning we got up and enjoyed some breakfast and the big kids played outside before we came home. This afternoon was filled with movies and family time before bed.
