What an October....

I can honestly say that I cannot wait to be done with this month... This one takes the cake for being a bad month...

It all started with Spankee (picture to the right) sneaking out of the house on Thursday the 8th for a 3 hour "adventure" around the neighborhood... Tony had me convinced that he was so cute that no one would turn him in... Until a neighbor of ours down a couple houses heard us yelling his name and asked what we were looking for... She then told us she had found him playing in the middle of the street and brought him in her house... He was so happy when he saw me and didn't leave my side all night... I'm so glad that it ended well...

Sunday the 10th our disposal decided to quit working which also meant no dishwasher... I so take the dishwasher for granted... I hated having to wash the dishes by hand... (About a week later I figured out the issue and temporarily fixed it... It still needs replaced but it doesn't have to be right now... Also on this day Spankee started acting weird like he was in pain from the "adventure"...

Tuesday the 12th I ended up having to take Spankee to the vet because he was getting worse than better... After the exam the vet couldn't find a real cause for him to be acting sick so with a little pain medicine and so nutrient suppliment he sent us home... He is doing just fine now which is good...

Wednesday the 13th I woke up to Hayden having a fever and starting a pretty deep sounding cough... My first thought, you guessed it Swine Flu so I called the doctor immediaetly and they got us right in... Well luckily not Swine Flu but he did have Croup... So I called out from work and snuggled my sick little boy all day... Though I hate it when he's sick I do love the sick snuggles...

Thursday the 14th What a week huh???? So today Tony stayed home with Hayden and I went to work... For convenience sake for Tony I left him my car and I took his (mine being the bigger family car) in case they needed to go anywhere... Well lets just say neither one of us knew Tony had a rock chip and by the time I went to leave work there was a huge crack down the middle of the window...

CAN WE NOT CATCH A BREAK!!! Ha ha ha

Now during all of this my neck and head had felt like they were in a vice... Probably due to all the stress from the week... So I was referred to a Chiropractor for the very first time... Well ya that didn't go over very well and it caused me an ER visit on Thursday the 22nd... While at work my entire left side went numb, so Tony came and took me to be ruled a sprained neck causing a sevier muscle spasm...

Now I know all I've written is the bad stuff but we did have a few fun moments this month... Hayden is into Star Wars right now... And they actually have a Star Wars concert touring... Now once we saw they were coming into town we thought we would take him for an early birthday present... The concert had the full orchestra that did all the soundtracks for the movie with movie clips from all the Star Wars playing and also narrated by the real person who played C3-Po... Cool right??? Except tickets were a little on the expensive side for a 3 year old birthday present so we decided against it... Until one of our amazing friends (Rachael) got free tickets through work... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... We had so much fun and Hayden enjoyed it so much... I love watching things through his eyes...
Here are some pics from Star Wars...

What was also fun was they had actual movie props and costumes that you could view...


This is Palpatine... He's the one that kinda creates Darth Vader... He kills people with lightning from his hand... And thats what he and Hayden are doing is showing me their lightning... Funny thing is that there was an actual Darth Vader walking around taking pictures after the concert and Hayden was not having him but was just fine with Palpatine... Go figure...


Let the show begin...


Another fun thing we did this month was Hayden and I took a leaf walk on the Jordan Trail right by our house... I love the colors this time of year...







Though we had a few set backs this month we did have fun too... Halloween pics will come soon.. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
