The girls had the post-Halloween blues so we built a whole city out of candy. I think it was more fun for me than the girls... but anytime they can be with their candy they are a little happier!
We also did an activity at COSI where the girls pounded golf tees into a pumpkin with a wooden mallet. Since I didn't have either of those I gave them real nails and a real hammer. I am such a good, safe mom.... but they had a blast doing it!
Brooklyn starting crawling and it didn't take her long to get moving all over the place. I am so nervous to have a crawling baby with all the tiny toys my girls have now. I guess that is the hazard of being the youngest!
McKenna continues to be Brooklyn's best buddy. We are still working on loving and playing with her in good ways, but she is so good at taking care of her and wanting to be with her every second.
McKenna wanted to have a party with her friends this year so we planned it the week before her birthday so we didn't run into Thanksgiving. Thank goodness she actually loved it this year and wanted to participate in everything! We had a rainbow party and I think it ended up being a lot of fun. Some of our pictures are mysteriously missing from when we switched computers so I don't have any photos right now but hopefully I can find where they went!
We had a very crazy Thanksgiving. We were planning on going to Holly's house but the night before we were going to leave, Brooklyn was really struggling to breathe. We decided to take her to the doctor and then leave later that day but instead they sent her to the hospital where she was diagnosed with RSV! Poor thing had so much junk in her lungs and really struggled to breathe for a few days. It was very scary but luckily we had someone in the ward teach us a trick to clear up her lungs and immediately she sounded so much better! If only the doctors had done that 4 days earlier.... Kaylee also got an ear infection and McKenna had a really dry cough that kept her up. Between the 3 sickies none of us got any sleep! It was a very long week and I was very grateful Richard was home to help me. My Utah sibs were so sweet and ordered a pizza to be delivered to our house the day Brooklyn was in the hospital so that I didn't have to worry about making dinner. Even being 1700 miles away, they still found a way to take care of us! They are the best.
Because we didn't get to go to Holly's we didn't have plans for Thanksgiving dinner and I didn't want to join anyone's group in case we spread our sicknesses. My VT companion was so sweet and brought us an entire dinner, with enough for leftovers too! We were so blessed to be taken care of in our hard week.
