Busy, busy, busy

We had a little party for Cordelia on her birthday. Grandpa and Grandma came over and watched her tear into her cake and open presents. We are having her party with family this Friday. We've been too busy to have it any other time.

I worked this weekend for our annual Haunted Fort event. The weather was so nice, which helped our attendance, and helped us from freezing. On Saturday there was a special Halloween event for younger kids at the park. The boys went through the Custer House and saw it all decorated. Then I took them over to the grainery, which I helped decorate. About half way through Rion said he wanted to go home, (it got kind of dark towards the end), but when we got out he said he wanted to go through again.

On Sunday Rion spent the day with Grandpa and his little brother from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. They had special things going on with the Timberwolves in town. Rion got to play basketball on the Civic Center floor. They also stayed to watch the game which was against the Nuggets and had a good time. While he was out with Grandpa, Grandma and I took Torii out. We went to McDonalds first. Then to Gateway, which has a nice play area for the kids. Cordelia even enjoyed it. Then we went to Barnes and Noble, where Torii played with the Thomas set. And since Grandma was with he actually let me look at books.

Today after school we had to go to Wal-Mart since I didn't get a chance to this weekend. I had planned to on Sunday, but Cordelia took a long nap after the big outing. While at Wal-Mart, Rion spotted Grandpa. I didn't see him and couldn't understand what Rion was yelling about. So they hung out with Grandpa while I got most of my shopping done.

Rion only has three days of school this week because of teacher's convention. Then next week we have his first teacher parent conference. On Thursday Cordelia has her one year doctor appointment. And on Friday is the party and Norma will also be here. I keep telling myself that someday things will slow down so I can relax. Stock up on your sleep and time to yourself now Kelly!
