October was a big month for the Wells. First of all we moved. Our new place is smaller but next to Stephen's work so he can walk (i keep the car everyday hallelujah!!) and a lot cheaper. I thought I would have a harder time adjusting but we have all loved it. I have been a crafting elf let me tell you. I think I have done more projects this pregnancy than most people do in their lifetimes haha. Posts to come I'm excited, especially my girls room I went crazy there. I even built furniture, I mean serious crazy pregnant crafting elf over here. let me tell you about October.
First of all cuteness:
I have to post about our friend Mickey. We visit Mickey EVERY time we go to Walmart. I'm getting used to this new "I don't forget things" kid. we have started a new tradition that makes grocery shopping funner and easier. Isabella get 50 cents each time we go and get to spend it however she wants. most of the time it's spent on this guy, but if she doesn't we still have to visit him and just pretend ride him. Oh the joys of childhood. Checkout that arm around him? I know who is going to die when she goes to Disneyland...
Isabella loves water fountains. If she sees one she has to get a drink. Enough said.
Stephen has been studying like crazy this month so we go on girl dates a ton at nights. In West Plains after 6pm that means 2 places: Macdonalds and Walmart. I've learned that Walmart can be really fun when you have no shopping to do and just roam the kid and fun sections. Our favorite spot is the Christmas tree lot. It smells like pine and all the trees make us so excited for Christmas.
Someone learned to ride her bike! Found this little treasure at the thrift store and Bella learned to ride it with her dad. She cruises around the house like a pro yelling "it works! It works!" She is so smooth on her turns I am so proud:)
Emma has been around here a lot. Her mom is the swim coach at the high school (she swam for BYU so she is a stud in our books). Her oldest son made it to State this year which is in St. Louis 4 hours away so we got to babysit Emma all day. We got a lot of good practice in for when little sis comes.
Sadly this has also been sick month. This poor little girl has been sick with something for almost three weeks. She got a really bad eye infection and we ended up in the doctors office. Along with that we both got a really bad cold. Now she has a bad stomach flu and still a pretty bad cough from the cold. No fun.
On a pretty rough day this week I was going out of my mind, exhausted from pregnancy with a crying sick toddler. Then Nana saved the day: this huge package arrived and it was like an early Christmas. It was packed with pretty much a whole new winter wordrobe for Bella, plus a bunch of other awesome stuff for all of us. It made our day and changed both of our moods around. My heart swelled and I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing mother in law I have. I am not used to her genorosity and thoughtfulness. I have never met a mom who thinks so much of her children and grandchildren and even me. we are always getting special packages, and being far away from everyone it means the world to us.
