What a fun, busy week! This week was fall break and parent/teacher conferences for the kids. That meant that Carrigan only had school on Monday and Tuesday and Merrick and Elsie had it through Wednesday. On Wednesday, C.C. got to come to preschool with me and be the helper. She was like a celebrity in class with everyone wanting to sit by her.
Thursday, we spent the day at a pumpkin patch. We did the corn maze, pet the goats, pigs, and ponies, slid down slides, played badminton and tetherball, and went on a hike. My favorite part of the day though was burying Merrick in the nut house (the apple cider doughnuts were pretty good too).
Friday, Merrick and I went shopping. We didn't find the pants we were looking for but he did find out that he could rock a Hillary Clinton mask and look remarkably like this cousin, Colvin.
Friday Night the girls went to their cousin's and Jeremy, Merrick, and I went to the high school football game for youth night. All the youth football teams got to run across the field at halftime.
On Saturday, both Merrick and CC had games. Carrigan got to play even with her cast, we just had to pad it. I forgot to take a picture of her playing with her big padded cast, I will try to make that happen for next week. While her team didn't win, she took two shots on goal. That is the first time she has ever done that! Merrick had a great game as well and his team won by about 40 points.
For Elsie, this has been party season. She has been to two different princess parties in the last two weeks. She's been having such a blast with her friends. It's fun to watch her grow into her own person and develop little friendships.
One other highlight for the week, Jeremy's cousin works for the company called Castcoverz. They make, you guessed it, covers for casts. She was so sweet to send us one to try out. It has been such a game changer for her in making her cast more comfortable, plus it's super cute! Now her cast isn't scratchy against her skin and clothes.
