Friday - Halloween parties at school. Mikayla was a Rebel Fairy and Brandon was a Crypt Master. Both had a great time and I had fun too. After school Mikayla donated 10inches of her hair to Locks of Love. She was so excited and loves her new hair cut. She wrote a note to send with her hair that said "I love my hair and hope you do too!" She was excited to show off her new hair to her friends at Madison's slumber party.
Saturday - We went to Lowes where Brandon and Tristan built monster mirrors. It was a lot of fun. Since it was their first time Lowes gave them tool aprons and a couple of past projects to work on at home. We will definitely go again. I liked that it was something both Brandon 8yrs and Tristan 3yrs could do. On the way home we bought a pumpkin. Brandon drew a couple of faces on it. Then Brandon and Dakota pulled all the yucky stuff out. I had to finish it of course. I carved out the face Brandon liked best. I think it turned out pretty good for being the first pumpkin I ever carved and using a knife and spoon. No fancy carving kit for us! Afterwards Brandon and I played catch with a Nerf football. That night I asked him what the best part of his day was and he said playing catch with me. I couldn't believe it! Something so simple made his day. I'd play catch with him everyday if that's all it takes to make him happy.
Sunday - I made scrambled eggs with cheese and ham for Ian and Dakota, this is becoming a routine breakfast for them. Which is fine by me since its easy to make. So cute to watch them eating together. Church at The Vineyard was amazing as always. However Dakota was upset to I had to leave the service early. They are needing lots of help in the children's church so I am going to volunteer in the infant/toddler room at least one Sunday a month. Maybe I can get my sister to volunteer in the older kids room that same day. I think she would enjoy working with the kids.
