Decorating for Halloween

Monday, October 6th:

Today is our last day of "summer!" Tomorrow the temperatures are going way down and I'm going to get out the Halloween decorations.

Unfortunately, I had a migraine, so Josh helped Theo and nurse Stephanie get ready for school before he headed off to work.

At school they had a fire drill and Theo played in the ball pit. He loves to throw the small balls at everyone!

Alyx was able to get the big cabinet from the garage installed in the kitchen. It's all coming together!

We are going to have so much storage!

After school, Theo had PT and OT with Ms. Becca and Ms. Laura. 

Tuesday, October 7th:

It was a nice crispy morning, so after Theo left for school I added the Halloween decor to the Fall stuff.

I don't like scary stuff, so Halloween around here is cute! Think Harry Potter and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

[Halloween decor - aren't they so cute?!]

Theo had another great day at school. They learned about the scientific method and Theo said he wanted to be a Marine Biologist! 

After school we took Theo to see Sherman at The Legacy Ranch in the rental van. Theo was a little tired during his ride, but he pushed through.

Wednesday, October 8th:

Josh and I went to return the rental van since insurance will only cover $30/day and our van will be ready tomorrow. 

[Mums continue to be fluffy!]

At school they made pumpkin fluff. Theo seemed interested in it, so I decided to buy some dairy free cool whip and canned pumpkin. We'll see if he likes it!

Changing Spaces Campaign was able to set up a meeting with the Senior Vice President of Business Development for SOVA (The public washroom division of Foundations) today. We voiced our concern that they were really pushing this wall mounted child sized changing table instead of a powered, height adjustable, adult size changing table.

VS.

The meeting went well and they said they would change and push the Ascent Universal Changing Table that they make. YAY!

After school Theo had feeding therapy with Ms. Jen. 

That night I beat Kingdom Hearts I! Such a fun game!

Thursday, October 9th:

After Theo and nurse Stephanie headed off to school on the bus, Josh and I went to Shorewood to pick up the van. She looks good as new!

I was selected for a random DOT drug screen so I went to do that and then I went to get my allergy shots. The harvest is almost over, so I should be able to spread out my shots soon.

At school Theo played connect four! They said he did great with his buttons and he won!

Friday, October 10th:

I was craving fudge, so I went to Dollinger's Farm to find some. They had a ton of delicious options and I had to restrain myself and only get three!

[Yes, I'm obsessed with my flowers!]

At school Theo had a dance party, played on the mat, and went for a walk with Ms. Vicki!

[So strong!]

Weekend:

Josh decided that it was time to take up golfing. He bought some old clubs from a local guy and he's going to take lessons. 

In sports news: BYU remains undefeated (6-0), The Dodgers and Brewers are going to the National League Championship (sorry Cubs), and the Chargers and Packers both won on Sunday.

We are a house divided! Go Dodgers!
