Fun and not so fun activities

• We have been busy the last few weeks with lots of fun activities. Okay maybe some of them were not so fun. We spent the day at the pumpkin patch on Oct. 11. It was a very warm day and the boys had so much fun. We almost got lost in the corn maze so, not sure if I will do that next year (to many bugs).




• Oct. 18 Lance went to the Neb.vs Iowa State game with friends and his brother Brett. Jack and Henry were so excited to see Uncle Brett but they wonder where Luke was. ISU lost again and Lance also lost his pillow and case that matches our bedding (told him to take a old case).




• Oct. 20 I had to the 3 boys to the Doctor. Jack said his ear hurt so I thought oh know the start of ear infections. His ear turned out to be okay so we all got flu shots since we were there. Jack ran around the room screaming and tried to escape. It took myself and 2 nurses to get him to lay down and when it was all over he said " that wasn't to bad" and the nurse told him to remember that for next year. Poor Henry had to go last and was also crying. I just couldn't wait to get out of there. However that would not be our last visit to the medical center. On Wed. I found out we were exposed to the Whooping cough and this can be very serious for babies. Henry, Charlie and myself had been coughing so we had to get tested. Now this test involves a Q tip type brush that goes up your nose for 10 seconds each nostril. Boy did that hurt. This time Henry went running around the place crying. I am happy to say we did not have the Whooping cough.
  




• Oct. 24 and 25 we had two Halloween parties. One was at Davenport Country Club and the other at our friends the Zuckers. Lance and Jack were able to attend the rest of us were not allowed to leave the house (because of the whooping cough). Jack had a lot of fun out on the dance floor and hanging out with his friends. Henry and I read Halloween books and made cookies. I also painted our hall way and main floor bathroom I had to get the hallway ready to put up my uppercase living saying Enter with a happy heart.





• Our pumpkins are carved the candy is bought and the house is all decorated now we are just waiting for the big day.

Oct. is here already

• We are now in the month of Oct. We celebrated Lance's Birthday on the 1st. The boys gave him a putting green for in the house. All three of them love to golf and our bar has now turned into a putting green. I hope this will help Lance's game. If not they sure do have fun playing with it.


• Jack has been busy in tiger cubs. His den visited the Quad City times News paper and the boys got to see how they make the newspaper. He has also been busy selling popcorn for his pack. He has sold almost $700.00 so thank you to everyone who bought popcorn. He is the top seller in his den.


• Charlie is 11 weeks old now and loves to give us big baby grins and makes lots of little noises. My mom says he can say hi but that's a grandma for ya. He is happy most of the time and is starting to play with toys above his head (he punches them according to Henry).


• Lance and I with 3 other couples (Chad, Charoline, Tracy, Jeff, Shelley, and Frank) went to the Zoofari ball Sat. night. We had a lot of fun. Some of us had to much fun and I will leave it at that.

So sorry it has been awhile since my last post.

• Sept. 29 Henry, Charlie, myself and a few friends (Shonna, Heidi, Jenna, and Ryan) went to visit Kim, Dan and the kids. No we did not go to China they were back in the States for a wedding. We had so much fun spending the day together. The day went by to fast and we already miss them so much. Henry ask " when will I see Ethan again" I had to time him when your 5 because he just doesn't understand how far away China is. However I did purchase a web cam so I will have to let Henry stay up late one of these nights so he can see Ethan that way.



• Sept. 30 Bowling started. This year I now have my own ball, shoes and bag (all pink) and team bowling shirts are coming. I am hoping my new ball will help my game. If it doesn't oh well I am there for the social part anyway bowling is just a excuse for coffee with friends.
