Early Sunday morning, my parents came flew into the area and met our family at church. We came home and had lasagna for lunch. Dad and David worked on fixing the Saturn (we're returning it to them after a few years of use). The rest of us baked EASY yummy pumpkin cake--seriously just a can of pumpkin, cake mix, and one egg-- and watched Nancy Drew. Then Mom and Dad headed over to Dover, DE as Dad was on a business trip there.
Monday, Elizabeth had school. We decided to go check out the new coffee shop for hot chocolate and chai latte.
Tuesday, Mom and Dad came back after work. We had dinner, and Dad did some more work on the car. Dad headed back to Dover again, but Mom stayed to hang out with us for a few days.
Wednesday was Elizabeth's field trip to the pumpkin patch! The kids learned about how pumpkins grow and how bees make honey. They also visited a petting farm, picked pumpkins, went on a hay ride, and had fun on rope swings in the barn. We spent the rest of the day shopping and then meeting up with one of Mom's friends.
Thursday, we spent the morning around the house. Then my mom stayed with Elizabeth as David and I took Josiah to his Dr.'s appointment. He did better during the examination part. He whimpered a bit, but no crying. However, this was the appointment where we had to do bloodwork. Thankfully, we could have the blood drawn in the office instead of needing to go to a lab. Unfortunately, the nurse had trouble finding good veins. Our poor little man ended up having to tapped twice in the hand (and the still didn't get ALL they needed), his toe pricked, a flu shot. He screamed like never before, and looked completely insulted each time they finished. He has not discovered the "magic" of band-aids yet, so he wanted them off as soon as they were put on. I can't wait until we start immunizations! (Rolling eyes)
~~After all this, the kids, Mom, and I packed up and drove over to Dover to meet Dad. Our trip took about two hours longer than it should have...apparently the Saturn isn't totally fixed. We arrived in time to get ready for bed.
Friday, we spent driving around Delaware. My family used to live there when I was in elementary school. We took Elizabeth to see our old house, school, and church. We met Dad for lunch, and then headed down to the beach. It was only about 55 degrees. Elizabeth was so excited on the way down, but when we arrived, she was not so into it. We only ended up staying about twenty minutes. But we walked in the sand, found some rocks, saw horseshoe crabs, and took some pictures. I got Elizabeth to touch the water...it was SOOO cold! The kids and I headed home. The kids slept most of the way! Mom and Dad headed up to Pennsylvania to see Grandma and Grandpa Smith.
Today, we're all taking a sick day...we've been feeling kind of icky all week. Hopefully just colds. David took some medicine and is asleep. Elizabeth is watching t.v. Josiah is playing but a bit cranky. Hopefully a day of rest will be just what we need.
