Fall Break

Fall Break flew by. We didn't go anywhere but still stayed busy. Here is a little run down of our week off from school.

• Monday - Everyone had well visits at the doctor and everyone also got their flu shots. We left the house at 8:30 and didn't get back until about 5:00. Whew!!! what a long day. We topped off the day by going to Stanley's corn field to get our cornstalks to finish our fall yard decoration.
• Tuesday - We did yard work at my mom's all day. Everyone was exhausted. Grandma fed us pizza and made some awesome sweet tea. The yard looks tons better. The big event for the day was Colyer stepping on a nail. Good thing he had just had his Tetanus shot on Monday at his well visit. It didn't go very far in either just a little bit of blood and NO ER!!
• Wednesday - Rhylan and I did some "spring" cleaning in the fall. We borrowed my mom's Rainbow vacuum cleaner which has got to be the best vacuum cleaner ever made. It is amazing to see how much dirt is in your house that you didn't even know was there. We also visited Taylor and Liam and Mamaw and Papaw Headrick.
• Thursday - Colyer, Rhylan and I made our weekly trip to the grocery store - how exciting. It wasn't too bad Colyer was able to help out with Rhylan who wants to open everything and sample it before we leave.
• Friday - I kept Taylor and Liam for a few hours for Will to go to a job interview. Good luck Will! Then the kids and I decorated our pumpkins. We didn't carve the pumpkins this year like we have done in previous years. Last year we tried something new - painting the pumpkins which would have been great had we not used washable paint - DUH!! The first time it rained all of the paint was on the deck. So this year we used markers and stickers. The kids loved and it wasn't so messy. Here are the pumpkin pictures.
