What another fun filled week. Audrey got sick on Wednesday and spent the day throwing up, after Chris gave her some medicine to stop that, it started coming out the other end. I felt so bad for her. Her energy didn't seem to waiver though, she just played right on through being sick. We bought her some powerade to rehydrate her, and that is just as good as Kool-Aid in her mind, so she loved it. By the way, powerade, gatorade, and pedialyte are all the same thing, remember that and save some money next time. So she got better, but passed it along to Chris and I. Friday morning Chris started with it really bad. I never got as bad as him, but I had a slight temperature, and those horrible body aches all day. I didn't ever have an appetite, but I finally forced something down about 4:00 in the afternoon and started to feel better after that.
Saturday, Jack went to the Primary Program practice, and I went with the youth to do service hours at D.I. A week or so ago, I didn't really want to go, but after thinking about it, I thought it might be kind of fun. I enjoyed it immensely. I priced and sorted out shoes. It was kind of fun, because I was looking for any shoes in the sizes of my family. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
Then Saturday afternoon, we took family pictures. My dear friend Lori Welch (Yes, you are dear to me) came and took the pictures for us. Family pictures can be the most dreaded thing, especially outside. But we survived and made off with a bunch of cute pictures. Those are the pictures above.
Halloween is in a few days, I suppose we will try to put on happy faces for the kids. I wouldn't mind doing away with this holiday. Maybe I will try to start a new holiday instead - The "I don't want to have to buy candy for other kids, and have my own come home all high on sugar, and wear our own clothes because I hate costumes" holiday. We can celebrate by doing exactly what was stated. I am sorry I am so much of a halloween grinch. Sometimes I wish I could like it more, but I just don't.
I am looking forward to the first week in November a lot things going on out Young Women in Excellence, Being a part of a taping for a fireside by the First Presidency, having our attic insulated, a trip to Salt Lake and GUY FAWKES NIGHT!!
