The kids love Grandma C's bonus room. It is so cozy up there, I don't blame them.
It was pouring down rain outside so we hunkered down to watch a movie.
When we were at Grandma C's house she helped us with some homeschool. Although Mac was being a turkey about it. We love that Grandma is now retired that we get to see her more on our visits.
Grandma was watching cousin EB and she wanted to get in on the homeschooling too, so we did a little color matching activity for her.
EB was watching Oak very intently. It was adorable.
They had fun playing ball with EB and the look on her face after she through the ball.
We were blessed to be able to visit with Oak's birthdad. It had been awhile since we had seen him. It was a very good visit and we got to meet his girlfriend.
Just a cute picture Oak drew. Top is Oak and Mac, bottom is Grandma, daddy and me.
The kids rocking out. Oak gets really into her pretend play like this.
We did our yearly visit with the allergist and decided to have Mac retested for some of the tree nuts he had previously tested positive for. And as you can see he was negative. We are so happy, that he may be growing out of his allergy. He still may be allergic to pistachios and cashews (we didn't test him for those) because he tested the highest for those before. And those are a common only allergy with tree nut allergies. We will test those next year, but those test are payed for out of our pocket so we didn't want to do very many.
Oak got to go with Grandma on a date and pick out some new dresses. When we finally got home, Oak went right in and tried them on on. Here Mac is helping her button the back up.

She loved it so much she got up and put it back on to go to the dentist and to the homeschool center. It was also cold so she added so leggings. It is a battle I am not willing to fight.
We got to the homeschool center early, so the kids were sitting in the hallway talking. it was cute. These kids have become such great friends since we moved here. We will be so sad when they move probably in the next year.
I decided to buy a pumpkin and of course Hubs jumped in and cooked and pureed it. My mom (who has been really into baking bread) made a few loaves of pumpkin bread and Hubs made some pumpkin pie. YUM!
Since we were our of town on Monday (one of my laundry days) when Thursday rolled around (my other laundry day) I had way too much laundry to do. It takes forever to get done when this happens. Which is the reason I do laundry two days a week.
On Thursdays when I babysit, we always do a craft. We made these adorable owls out of the pinecones we collected on our walk last week and some acorn we collected on our road trip. They turned out SO cute!

Oak drew this map of our house. You can even see the gun club at the top of the picture that is right across the street.
This is what our spelling lesson looked like on Friday. He was actually doing his work with out complaint so I let him be a bit goofy. He rolled on the floor while going over flash cards. And he drew a picture for each of his spelling words.
All dressed up ready to go to the downtown trick or treating. Mac was actually dressed before I was even awake. He was excited.
Cuties!
I have so great pictures of them I will put into their own post.
Farmers market downtown. Grinding some grain.
We ended up seeing our old neighbors from our town house. They moved over a year ago. The kids got along so well. The kids were so excited!
This was Mac's favorite part.
Mac playing with my phone.
He makes me happy. Sunday naps and holding hands.
