The Library

One of my first outings with both girls... The library was not a good choice! I had decided to take the car seat in with me because Lucy was sleeping. We had limited time until the library closed. I had Lilly running up and down the aisles of the adult section of the library screaming in her high pitch, with me chasing her with the car seat in tow... And I could NOT catch her!!! It was quite the sight and most embarrassing. And when I finally did get ahold of her, she was throwing the wildest tantrums, and twisted until she was able to escape again. Yikes.

The flu/Halloween

Yuck, yuck, yuck! The house has smelled like vomit and diarrhea the whole past week. We've had a nasty (although short in duration) little stomach bug that started with Lilly, then I got it, and then baby Lucy. Right before Halloween weekend- and we had so many fun plans made! We cancelled some, but kept most, which backfired for some who were with us... Poor Ellen and Abbey ended up catching it too. But we made it to the trunk or treat (we were very late) and then Ellen watched the girls while Alex and I had a fun group date ( Jess, Jorge, Carter, Deta, and Robby were there with us) to the haunted corn maze! It was very fun and creepy! It was Alex's birthday that night also, so we went to Sharis for some treats and chatting.



Lilly was dressed as a ballerina, and Lucy was a bunny. :) Lilly enjoyed seeing family and friends (mostly Grandma and Grandpa Gilbert) at the Trunk-Or-Treat.



Alex ended up getting the flu that next weekend... And we had baby Lucy's blessing planned! Family was already on their way up to Walla Walla, and Alex was sick in bed. Luckily he was feeling ok enough Sunday to give the blessing himself, though we had to quarantine him from the family while they were visiting. :(

Ravioli stains everything. It stains skin, bath tub, sinks, dish towels... And in general is extremely struggly to clean up. I learned this after letting Lilly play in her food, she was having SUCH a good time!
