Halloween Activities

Sunday, I took the kids to church while Mark dried more corn-never ending. After church and lunch, we went to a church trunk or treat party. The kids dressed in their costumes and had a great time. They had candy, tons of snack food, games, mazes, and a giant inflatable caterpillar. Back at home, we carved a jack-o- lantern. Jake and Jayden were in to their elbows, however Luke didn’t want to touch it.
Luke went to bed around 8, and I suspected he was getting sick. At 11:00 he was crying, coughing, and gasping for air, he had the croup. It was pretty bad, I guess I have been through it so many times with Jayden, I know what to do. It is scarey as they can’t breath. I took Luke outside and sit with him awhile in the crisp air. My doctor had given me some steroid medicine to keep on hand just for this. I gave him that and he was able to sleep through the night. He slept between Mark and I in bed.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
