October Photo Dump

The end of October, beginning of November was a doozy at our house. Wesley came down with his first ever ache. That sparked a domino effect, ending with Wyatt and Grayson both getting croup a week apart. 3 urgent care visits, 2 doctors appoints, 6month shots and MANY nites of little to no sleep this mama of four is ready for a break. I should probably just be gearing up for the next bout of sickness , with  both Mia & Wes in school the germs are rampant. All the sickness prompted me to finally splurge and buy the Doterra Family Essentials kit. I've been eyeballing it for years, all the way back to this post!!  All the kiddos now have diffusers and we've been using Lavender, OnGuard, Lemon & Breathe pretty much everyday!!!!

We did manage to squeeze some fun things in. Mia got to go to my Aunt Dawn's house for a hay ride, pumpkin picking and treats, while the sick boys stayed with dad.  Then came trick or treat. We usually do one night of trunk or treat out in the community and then trick or treat around our neighborhood on Halloween. This year Mia wanted to be Jasmine and wore her costume to Trunk or Treat. She ended up hating the Jasmine wig (I think it was too small) so we decided on Sleeping Beauty  for Trick or Treating. Then she ended up getting in trouble and not walking around the neighborhood, It was hardly punishment since she got to stay home with the King of Halloween passing out candy & scaring our neighbors with the giant, mechanical jumping spider. Wyatt wore the Fox costume Wesley wore when he was a babe. I was able to find a second fox on a FB selling wall. Since their birthdays are only 6 days apart all of Wes' baby things fit the twins, which is so fun for this mama heart of mine!!!

The first weekend in November last year was shorts wearing warm and this year was just the same. We spent a fun Friday nite exploring Homestead park on the west side. Take your camera for the beautiful wild flower field but wear your running shoes if you have small, non listening toddlers!!!! It's extremely difficult to keep little ones contained in any one area and with a big pond nearby its eyes on every second!!!
