Where to start?! Trent and I have been "doctoring" colds for 2 weeks with Caylyn catching it about a week ago. All this sickness left no time for blog updates so here are a few tidbits...
CRAFT FAIR
The craft fair was slightly unsuccessful. :) It was not nearly as well attended as last year and several vendors didn't sell much... but I still had a great time with my friend, Faith!
After the craft fair, Chad took us all to Subway. Here are the kids with "Umpa Tim" as Caylyn calls him.
SICKNESS
As I mentioned earlier, Trent has had an awful cold for awhile now with coughing spells throughout the day and night that would leave him gasping for breath. I finally took him to the doctor last Wednesday. He was diagnosed with "walking pneumonia" and put on an antibiotic and inhaler. The medication seemed to help, but he's having coughing fits again. We go back tomorrow for a check-up and we'll see what the doctor says.
SNOW
Last Sunday brought the first snowstorm for all of Maine, except us! We were predicted to get 6-10" of snow, but when we woke at 5:30 it was just raining... so we went back to sleep. Imagine our surprise when Tim came over around 7 and had several inches of snow on his truck! Evidently living close to a lake prevented us from getting all that snow while just a tenth of a mile away they had several inches!
OCTOBER 31
Our family does not celebrate Halloween, but little Josiah came dressed up as Cat in the Hat so Caylyn and Trent had to "dress up", too! We had a little candy hunt for pumpkin candies placed around the living room. The kids loved it!
Typically, Chad doesn't come home on Monday nights, but last Monday was an exception so we made it a special night! I made a big pot of chili for supper and the kids helped make fall sugar cookies.
TIDBITS
Every evening when we put the kids to bed, they are allowed to look at books for a few minutes before we turn the light off. One night this week, Chad went to their room to turn off the light and this is what he found...
Thursday was one of "THOSE" days were the entire day is spent putting out fires and breaking up squabbles. For instance, I was assisting Caylyn in the bathroom when I hear Josiah say "Trenton is making a mess!" When I peeked out the door this is what I saw...
Here is Trenton sitting on the couch thinking about what he has done. Doesn't he look miserable?!
THE WEEKEND
Our church had a Men's Retreat this weekend. All the men had a great time of fellowship and heard some great preaching from Pastor Paul Anderson. Saturday morning, all the men loaded up on the bus and headed out for a scenic drive. Chad took Trent because, of course, he is a man, too! Trent fell asleep on the way back and Chad put him on the nursery floor when they got back. He slept 2 hours just like this!
Yesterday was a great day in the Lord's house, as always. After the evening service we tried to get a few family photos...
Aren't they adorable?!
Tim has finally moved up to Lee and we are so glad to have him here!
Hope you all have a GREAT week!
