It's Fall like.

I am brave or crazy? I decided that this is the year we are going to host a Halloween party for Brona's friends. It's going to be around 20 kids or so. I have been looking on the internet for some great kid party ideas. If any of you have an favorites it would be great for you to share them with me. I have found some good websites. I just haven't nailed anything down yet. I know everything will come together just fine. I have had a few moms ask if they can help.

Finn's birthday is on the 1st. My sweet baby boy is going to be 4! Time flies, when you are in crazy town. Finn of course wants a Thomas birthday party. I am so glad that my mother in law is great at making birthday cakes. We are going to get him a big boy bike. Brona and Finn love ridding bikes any time the front door opens.

Brona has passed off her addition facts at school! I am so proud of her. Now we are moving on to subtraction. I know she can do it!

The kids an I are going on a road trip in October. I cant wait! We are going to visit my folks! It will be a very long drive,but so worth it. We are going to go to the beach!

I am very close to getting into my exturnship for school. I hope I can get on at a clinic. That would be awesome. I would really like to work at a doctors office. I will keep all of you updated. 

Just kidding!

Never mind that job thing from the last post. It was a cruel joke. Son of a diddly. 

He got the job!

Husband is the new Associate Producer at EA! He totally nailed the interview. When I asked husband if he was excited he replied " I am more nervous to work at a big game studio, than I was going into the interview". He had been looking for work out of state too. I am so happy that we are going to stay in SLC.

Finn's potty training has completely come to a halt. He kicks, hits, and screams when we try to get him to go. I guess I will be going to kindergarten to change his diapers. Or, he can take a diaper bag instead of a backpack to school. I did manage to get a picture of him sitting on the potty. I like to take embarrassing pictures of the kids...blackmail for later. Or when Brona brings home a boyfriend....bwhahahaha.

Garden

I work in the yard when I can. I really enjoy too. I have been working on my first garden this year. In years past I have been in charge of the strawberries. I had so many I was making jam once a week. Mike is a really great gardener. This year I did it mostly by myself, with help from the kids of course. Working in the yard is like a kind of therapy to me. I love to grow pumpkins! Fall is my favorite time of year. Yes, I have a thing for lawn "art".

Good Stuff

Mike had his job interview today! I hope that we find out very soon if he has the job or not.

We have been working on potty training with Finn. We haven't really had much happen, but farting. I guess that is good enough for now. I know it doesn't happen over night. He has been a trooper.

Brona has been doing well with her piano lessons. It almost makes me want to take guitar again. Hmmm maybe I should.

I love this fall cool weather stuff that is going on outside right now. I took a nice walk alone tonight, I was welcomed home with crying from the kids about why I didn't take them with me.  All I want is ten minutes. I got it, but may not be able to walk alone again.

I was chatting with a friend today and I was reminded that I really do love living in SLC. I really hope that Mike gets this job.
