October already!

I can sure tell fall is here, the leaves are falling off the trees and there is a chill in the air.

Things are really busy, the only time I sit down is when I am feeding Griffyn or updating my blog, which isn't often. It's a full time job just keeping up with the laundry. There is so much I want to get done but can't fit it in. I wish I could do more baking and cooking, it's relaxing, but will have to wait, I get my fix watching the food network when I am feeding the baby. We all enjoy watching Bobby Flay and just started watching another chef, Michael Smith from P.E.I. He is awesome too! I need to make some more bread this weekend and want to try a new brownie recipe today. I broke down a few days ago and bought a loaf of wonder-bread, yuck, $2.99 too! This is the cookbook I ordered today as well as a Bobby Flay one. Sounds funny, but I find it exciting!




I bought Griffyn a rattle last week. We lost it the next day, Christopher said he didn't take it. (I knew different). Griffyn was in his swing on Thursday crying, C was trying to calm him down by putting his soother in, it didn't work. He took off running into his room and came back with the rattle! He also had Ellie's Bear Rabbit, which is her comfort toy when she goes to bed, it was gone one night and showed up a day later lying on her bed. I guess it is a pack instinct having 5 other siblings, "survival mode". We have to see the funny side of it, I am sure or hoping he will outgrow this. He isn't fighting as much with Ellie now as they have their breaks from each other alternating preschool days.

Ellie lost a fight with the edge of the piano on Wednesday, she was running around the living room and fell into it. Gave herself quite the bruise/line on the outside of her left eye.

Liam is trying out two choirs at school now while still doing the band classes, praying this gets him out of his shell a little more. He has a soccer game this morning.

Rhys and Cai are grounded this weekend. They are in need of major tune ups. We seem to go through this yearly when they go back to school being around the other kids.

We had meet the teacher night on Wednesday for Rhys and Cai. They both have really nice teachers. I was very impressed with Rhy's teacher, he has a male teacher which I think is great. Now the homework begins, Rhys is good, he does his on his own, Cai will have his reading and writing daily and learning a set of spelling words each week.

I missed the grade 9 parents meeting at Liam's school, Patrick was working. I have to get him to ask the principal what went on. One benefit of him being on the PAC.
