Fall Break 2012

Recap of our fun family time over fall break.
Monday- Rob and I took the kids to Owensboro and had lunch at Subway. After lunch Rob took L and K to Swim at the Hines Center while J and I went shopping for her 11 th birthday. She used her money she has saved plus her birthday money from us and bought an Apple iPod. We also found costumes and Halloween decor for her costume birthday party on Saturday. I just love shopping with my big girl! It reminds me of my marathon mall trips with my Aunt Sy when I was little! When we got home, I had the sweetest time watching Laikyn dress up in her new Minnie costume and play with her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Tuesday- Thanks to my friend Donelle we have lots of pumpkins this year. the kids spent the morning pumpkin painting. Korbin did a clown, Jilli did a UK spider and Laikyn did a big blob after her meltdown of not wanting me to teach her how to paint. After a timeout with mommy for an attitude adjustment, she came back and had a blast.
Wednesday- this morning the kids carved a pumpkin with Daddy. After lunch, we went to The Hines for some racquetball ( L and I played in the playroom) and to Orange Leaf for some Fro-yo. Jilli and I also ran over to the mall and found her a couple of Sunday dresses as well as a few more cool weather items for Laikyn. Tonight I finished decorating the family room for Jillibugs birthday party. Always having the week off before her birthday maybe means her party always looks a little more elaborate? Not that anyone is complaining. Love having an October child!

Thursday- Today we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to try out the new Smothers park on the river. It is amazing, but so spread out and huge that I was a little frightened of losing the kids. A great place to go as long as you are prepared to stay glued to your kids. The kids loved it.
