• Todd headed to Las Vegas this week so I was flying solo around the house. Wednesday night we headed to the pool. Barely anybody was there so the kids had free reign to play. Bodee must have jumped off the edge at least a BILLION times. 
• On Thursday and Friday this week we had Fall Break from school. On Thursday I took the kids to the aquarium with our passes. We got there just in time for the Otter Feeding and it really was fun to watch as the otters tried to find all the fish left out for them to eat. Bodee was pretty cute watching the otters and penguins.

• Thursday night the kids were so good and sat through two hours of me playing stake volleyball at the church. The last game ended at 9pm and they were getting antsy so I told them they have been so good I"ll take them to Kneaders for a little treat after we were done since there was no school on Friday. Brynn tried to negotiate and asked if we could to go Chuck E. Cheese's instead? All the women were cracking up at her request and I had to inform her that would not be happening that night. After volleyball we drove over to Kneaders with Bodee yelling "Rock and Roll, Baby!" that he had learned from his sisters. All the kids picked out their favorite treat (Addy: cheesecake, Brynn: caramel apple, Bodee: pumpkin sugar cookie) and we have a fun night out giggling and making a good memory.
• Todd got home late Friday night so on Saturday we took the kids to the pumpkin patch. There were other fun things to do there as well so the kids really enjoyed themselves. Here are some of the highlights.

• We got Bodee his first tie. Seriously, is this kid a stud or what?? LOVE HIM!

• Other exciting news??? I got a job! I am the Assistant Recreation Coordinator for our city. It averages 5-10 hours per week so not too time demanding. I had my first day on Thursday were we put together the teams for 1st-4th grade rec basketball. I think I'm going to like it:)
• Brynn moment: Completely bawling after I informed her "No, Santa will not be bringing you your own iPad or cell phone this Christmas". "Fine," she replied, "I'll just ask for a credit card!" Really? Really? She can't only be four:)
