October

Ok, so I have fallen a little behind on my blog. October was a busy, fun month. I can't believe that Halloween has already come and gone! (more on that later). Anyway, in the middle of October Ruthie and I took a trip to Newton, KS to see an old friend's daughter get baptized and to pick up my Mom and bring her back here to spend a few days with us. It was a short trip, but we were so happy to have her here. Ruthie loved the trip until she realized she would have to sleep the night without her sisters. She wanted to drive home (5 hours ) just about the time we reached the hotel. The only thing that calmed her down was knowing we could eat breakfast in the hotel the next morning. It was great to have my mom here even if the time was too short. She taught my daughters the "muffin song" that they sing all the time and reminds them of Grandma.

Other October events
Swimming Lessons - again. My girls love them and it helps them fall asleep very fast. Mariah learned to dive and Ruth almost passed level 2a, we will try again.

Homecoming Parade
Fun even if it was a little cold.
I had to keep a hold on Lindsay's hood to keep her from running into the street. The Frat boy sitting next to us got a big kick out of her and got her some really great stuff.
