October 15th (Oliver)

Oliver snuggling tonight with me and enjoying some more Below Deck!

 

October 14th (Ella's 1st Bowling Tournament-Unified Bowling/Conferences)

No School today but we still had Ella's 1st Bowling Tournament with Unified Schools! 

So exciting!!

Look at her cute outfit.

Mazey and Ella ready to play.

Ella with her peer helper! 

These peers are so great and helpful!!

Go Cora.

Hanging out!

Ella had such a good time.

It was fun seeing her play a new sport! 

Well we ran home, made dinner. Then I headed up to talk to Ella's teachers about how she is doing. 

They said she is adjusting better now.

I also talked with Melissa about life and got to see both girls photography pictures in the hallway!

Ella's!

Adelyn's!

It has been a super busy day today!!

Happy Fall Break!

 

October 12th (Corn/Pumpkin Bread)

Corn is growing good!

This weather has been to hot lately so I haven't made pumpkin bread yet. 

Well today was a little cooler out so I had to make it! Yummy!

And I started re watching Below Deck from the beginning. I haven't watched all of them but haven't watched in years! They are so good, I forgot. Gotta love Kate!

 

October 11th (Senior Sunday-Halloween Fun/Playground with Ella/Addie Photo Shoot/Juice)

I chose some Halloween fun photos for Adelyn's senior Sunday!

She loves Halloween.

We took Ella down to the playground to get her legs moving. On the weekends I try to get her up and about or she won't do anything and its not good for her. 

I made dinner then went with Addie to help her set up for her photo shoot she was doing.

Creepy doll tea party! Looks good!

(She is doing better today, I still feel bad and we will need to make it up to her!)

I also squeezed in some juice making. 

Green, Immune and beet apple juice!!

Happy Sunday!

 

October 10th (New Salt/Horrible Night Out-Nothing Worked Out!)

I used my new salt from Ruth, all the way from France.

Well tonight was not a good night for us.

I planned to have a fun night out with just Nick, Adelyn and I. We had Micah come watch Ella. And we planned to head to Halloween Haunt @ World's of Fun. 

Well unfortunately we got stuck on the highway in a line to world's of fun, then we finally got off the highway and waited longer. Then we were able to go up around the huge line and we figured out why it was so backed up-the Parking Lot was CLOSED and there wasn't anywhere that told people. So we circled around to go to the Ocean's of Fun parking lot and the line to get into World's of Fun was so backed up plus we saw the Mamba and it was a GIGANTIC line we decided not to go in. Ugh!

Don't worry it gets worse! Ha.

Then I had the idea to go to the Haunted Houses downtown, Adelyn has never been and we haven't been since early 2000's!

So there was a line but we bought tickets online and got in the smallish line, seemed like we would wait about an hour.

Well that wasn't true it was super long and they kept letting in the VIP people on the other side. Nick wanted VIP and we didn't buy them. So we had to wait. They had time slots but didn't honor them at all. Ugh. So finally after 2 1/2 hours we got to the front and....we didn't have wrist bands. Whatt???? I guess online it said to go to another place an hour early to get a wrist band that you signed a waiver in person. So we headed over there a block away and there wasn't a line since it was already 10 something. We found out it was going to take too long to go through the haunted house and get home to let Micah leave. Ugh! Now it did say it on their website but if you don't read that and just buy tickets it doesn't say anything about a waiver which is what I did!!

The best part was they won't give you your money back no matter what. Back in the early 2000's there wasn't a waiver!! 

So Adelyn got upset and cried the whole way home. We were all in a bad mood after waiting to do nothing all night. But we just told her sometimes things don't work out for a reason. I haven't had a bad night like that in a very long time! I just felt bad for Addie, I know she wanted to make memories with us without Ella!

Then we had to go home and pay Micah, most expensive non fun night ever!

We did see the "Brat Rat", the Rat Mans daughter!

We all wore scream shirts to match too!

Edge of Hell.

This line is like 2 times longer than when we started. The VIP thing isn't really fair because they didn't let barely any regular pay people in. I won't be going back-ever!!
