Fall Party etc..

It has been a really busy week and a half. Work has been a constant and we were getting ready for our annual fall party. My timing with my work conference and our party being the same week was not the best decision but I managed...barely. We had a great turnout this year for our fall party with at least 75 people coming over to enjoy chili, hayrack rides, pumpkin painting and A LOT of kids!! I was so busy that I barely took any pictures which I am now of course a little sad about. I didn't even get a picture of Jack painting his pumpkin. Come to think about it, I barely saw him the entire night. Will and Hannah stayed up as late as they could but at about 11pm Will came up to me and asked to go to bed! Jack was up until the last soul left after 1am. Don't worry though, no one slept past 8am the next morning.

That next morning was Sunday and I had to leave for Tampa at 3pm. I had done next to nothing to prepare for this trip other than work many hours to prepare for the actual conference. Thank goodness I stayed up very late on Friday night to write Darren 3 very detailed pages of notes regarding who need to be where and when. I also had to lay out all of Hannah's clothes due to her broken arm situation. I knew Darren would do ok but I was mainly worried about Jack since he gets very upset when I leave the house for any reason let alone leave town for 3 days! It is now Thursday, I am back from Tampa and everyone did great! Hannah had another X-ray of her arm today and her cast will be off the day before Halloween. YEA!!! Hannah quickly said "I can wear a pretty dress again?" She really misses her dresses and various shirt options. It really is the little unimportant things that matter to her sometimes.

We had Jack's school conferences tonight and they went well. They told us he is very well behaved, polite and does not disturb other kids. He is catching up on his reading and we will start working on Math as well. He really loves school and recess is his favorite subject.

That is it for now. I am trying to get back to getting to bed by midnight!

Above is the Ninja picture I promised in the previous post. I am still working on getting the school picture scanned.
