After our super late night at the football game, Adam, Mommy, and Gwen got up super early to help plant flowers along Main Street. Gwen sang the whole time and kept everyone entertained.
Daddy took Tessa to her last day of ice skating lessons. She passed level 1 with flying colors. Her instructors really wanted her to take private lessons so she can advance more quickly, but we decided to sign her up for level 2 and see how that goes. She is loving her time on the ice!
Saturday we got yard work done, ran a bunch of errands, and got the garage cleaned up. After all the chores were done, Daddy took the kids on a nice walk along the beautiful river trail while Mommy got dinner ready.
Saturday evening we had the Sister Missionaries over for dinner. It's always so nice to have the missionaries in our home. They were amazed at how many books we have.
After the missionaries left, we took the kids up to Maple Dell to go on a spooky Halloween hike. We went on the kids hike, which was crazy lame. After the kids listened to a few Halloween stories, we decided to brave the more adult hike. The kids were pretty terrified and Caleb refused to look up. He buried his head into Eric's chest and we could hardly pry him off when we got in the car to leave. Hearing Tessa scream at the top of her lungs only made us laugh. So...we won't be getting any excellent parental awards anytime soon. But as soon as we got in the car, everyone admitted they had fun, even though they were freaked out.
Sunday we went to church and then Mommy needed a day off. So we watched movies all afternoon and relaxed. It was just what we needed after a crazy Saturday.
