October 1st (October??Where is the Cool Weather/Adelyn's Necklace)

This weather is driving me crazy. 

It was cool for a few days here and there, but will be hot again!

Ugh I am so ready for cooler weather like all the time please.

Adelyn made this necklace in Jewelry, looks so good!!

 

September 30th (Salt & Pepa/TLC/Envogue Concert-Dinner & Dancing at the Concert)

We went to dinner in Waldo, yummy food but expensive.

We headed to Starlight and there was a line of cars so luckily we got there before the show started!

Unfortunately it was raining a little, but we all brought protection just in case. But it was warm out so it wasn't that bad!

Me, Sarah, Erin and Erin's sister Jemma.

This place is PACKED-SOLD OUT SHOW!! And nobody is missing it due to the rain!

So many people!

Carey and Ruth! I wanted a group photo there but with the rain the all the dancing we got videos instead!

Only Chili unfortunately! She did great though!

We had really great seats I thought!

Salt and Pepa are great-I have seen them before with Envogue both sets are amazing still!!

No SCRUBS!! ha.

We had such a great time dancing and singing along! We got out of there right at the end, they did some other song at the end that wasn't theirs so we scooted out before it was officially over because I didn't want to get stuck in traffic!! I got home around 11 pm. Ugh I am exhausted!
 

September 29th (Fiestaware/My Mom's Birthday-Sake Dinner)

Fiestaware episode with Martha from back in the day! This is amazing. I love this channel!

I made Angel food cake for my mom's birthday with homemade sticky frosting-1st time making the frosting. 7 min icing!

Went to Sake for my mom's birthday! What a great choice, we all love sushi in our family! Happy birthday!
 

September 28th (My mom's birthday-shopping & lunch/Ella Unified Bowling Started)

Today my mom and I went to Oak Park Mall to shop for her birthday and have lunch together.

We had a great time shopping and I bought her a birthday sweatshirt outfit!

I headed home after to get a couple things done.

Ella was going to bowling right after school, which they take her. 
But I think she was confused because she wouldn't get in the van to go. I talked to her and told her I would be there to watch and pick her up then she got in the van!

She is excited to bowl, but is used to me taking her to everything.

I got there early because I wanted to make sure she was ok. 

She ended up acting out probably because she was tired and since I was there maybe she thought she didn't have to follow the rules. 

Well next time I wont come early. She ended up being fine and had a great time picking up the bowling ball by herself and not using the ramp! Great job Ella!

 

September 27th (Senior Sweatshirt/Senior Sunday)

I got Adelyn this cute sweatshirt in pink for Senior year instead of the one from East. 

I ordered her a t shirt from OE that we are still waiting on, just not as cute.

Senior Sunday post!

My little witch, she still loves to dress up for Halloween! 

Figuring out her costume today-Winter Soldier from Marvel!!

 

September 26th (Raising Canes)

We ran some errands today and got Ella out of the house.

Adelyn was working so we stopped bye to grab some Canes to go!

Luck has it the lady working the cashier said Addie could use her 50 percent off for us, wow score!

So proud of her for keeping this job since March! She is such an amazing person!!

 

September 25th (Ella @ School/GBA Family Night-Apple Orchard)

Ella and Mazey in the CBR newsletter!

There is Ella with her cute pink helmet on.

Ella has been having a few issues with school lately. It has been a big change going to high school. She doesn't like ever para and there are a lot of moving parts with switching classes more than she was used to with middle school.

It is an adjustment but I know she will get used to it. And she does like being with Mazey and new peer helpers all the time!

Wow it rained all day!!

Luck has it though it stopped raining right when we were supposed to head to Nick's work sponsored event at the Apple Orchard.

So nice of GBA/I-Solutions to feed us Zarda BBQ, Apple pick and get a pumpkin! All for FREE. 

So nice that Nick is part of such a generous company and we get to reap some benefits as well!

Adelyn was working so, just us 3!

We got to use the apple launcher as well! So fun! Nick really liked it.

Apple season is almost over but we were able to find a small bag full at least.

After we picked apples we headed to get dinner.

The had Zarda BBQ buffet for us, with some dessert and drinks.

The food was good and we met up with some other co workers and families of Nicks.

Ella was excited to go get a pumpkin next at the patch.

(Luckily we got food when we did because a huge line formed and they ran out of forks!)

Look how beautiful it is with the sun going down.

Here we go.

Glad I made sure Ella and I wore boots because it was extremely muddy!

Nick found a great one.

Ella loved it!

We had such a great night together!

Time to go home and relax.
