SICK Days

No Pictures to share.
We were ALL sick with a FLY bug from Sunday. December 15th to Tuesday December 24th. The girls missed the last week of school before break. We fought off high fevers, chills, achy bodies, coughs, sore throats, headaches and sniffles. We pushed lots of Tylenol, Motrin, and cough syrup and took many baths. On Friday the 20th, we trekked out in the first fallen snow and made it to the walk-in clinic. $130.00 later. Avery has pneumonia, Natale has a double ear infection and Mama is somewhere in the middle. We were now set to take some strong antibiotics for the next few days. On Tuesday the 24th was the first day that we hadn't needed to take a nap because of being so weak or exhausted. We all lost a few inches because our appetites were non existent. We missed out on a few Holiday traditions (baking cookies with GG and the cousins) and Mama didn't get to finish out peak season with UPS. We are all feeling better now, but that stretch of illness/FLU is good and gone.

Visit to Langs Farm

On Veteran's Day, Aunty and the girls came down to visit us and we went for an adventure. We ended up at Lang's Pony Farm with a bag full of carrots and apples for the horses. We took a tour of the grounds and watched some lessons. The girls loved watching the horses canter and gallop and follow the commands.

The girls got to groom Iceman after he had a ride

We all had a great time petting, giving treats and brushing the horses. We definitely will be back...maybe for a ride next time,

Halloween

The girls had a great time Trick or Treating in our new neighborhood. Right after school we headed to town for a costume parade and trick or treating at the shops. We had a great time and saw a few classmates.

When it got dark we headed to a neighborhood known for lots and lots of trick or treating, haunted houses and FUN. The girls had a great time and snagged lots of candy. We headed home for a trip to our neighborhood. Mama got to answer the door for a few of the kiddos. Very Successful night!

Hope everyone had a FUN and SAFE Halloween Night!!

Pumpkin Patch

We headed North for a trip to the pumpkin patch with our Cousins, Danielle & Isabelle. We headed to a farm in Ferndale. There were lots of animals to pet and ride. We took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and picked up a pumpkin with goose bumps.

And there was a hay maze, hay jumping and corn pool. The farm had chickens, ponies, horses, cows, geese, turkeys, bunnies and some really cool antique tractors and lawn art. Looking forward to next year, thank you Auntie Krissy!!
