The Past Few Days

Here's what's been going on the past few days in our little family.  If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen a few of these pictures.

Last Saturday after Payton's basketball tournament, we were supposed to have our family pictures made.  I had cancelled a few days before, because all 3 of my little girlies weren't feeling too good. To make matters worse, Addi had a very gnarly set of chapped lips.  Then, Karsyn rolled out of bed and knocked her noggin.  Our photographer ended up being sick too.  I guess it just wasn't meant for us to have pictures on that day.   We might wait until next spring to take our family pictures, because we have something planned every single weekend until the end of the year.  Uncle Billy is pretty good at getting a snapshot of our little family, so he might just be the guy who takes our Christmas card pictures. 

Since our plans were cancelled, we decided to take the kiddos out to dinner.  We ended up going to Golden Corral.  It's been a long time since we had eaten there...like since before Karsyn was born.  Evan though it was the greatest place in the whole world.  He's asked to go back every day since!!  I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that cotton candy is served on the buffet.

During and after dinner, the girls really started to act like they didn't feel good.  We had a chorus of coughing girls the rest of the weekend. On Monday, I took Payton, Addi, and Karsyn to our pediatrician after I dropped Evan off at school. All 3 girls have the same icky virus that Evan had a couple of weeks ago.  Payton and Karsyn both have ear infections.  I'm so ready for everyone to feel better!  On the drive home from the doctor, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the fall trees have been!

During Karsyn's nap on Tuesday, Addi and I enjoyed a Candy Land marathon. She LOVES playing this game!  We've learned it's best to play it when Karsyn is sleeping, but we are both really looking forward to her being able to play with us.  I'm sure it won't be long.  I really love that the game has a spinner now!

Addi is Candy Land Crazy!

Wednesday is a really busy day for Addi.  We have just enough time after school to eat a quick lunch before she has gymnastics.  After gymnastics, I try to take the "long way home" so that Karsyn will doze off before Ms. Susan comes to our house for speech therapy.  Most weeks, Karsyn goes to sleep and I'm able to lay her in her bed when we get home.  Yesterday, she had a different idea and decided to not take a nap.  It was such a busy day, that both Karsyn and Addi were exhausted by dinner.  Shortly after the girls went to bed, I went to check on them and found this!

All 3 girlies were sleeping in the same bed in the wrong direction. ha!  I love that Payton's Bible is in the bed too! 

Today, Addi's class had their Thanksgiving Day Party. This is one of my favorite preschool parties.  The kids all get their faces painted, play games, and eat popcorn.   When I picked Addi up, she was a little Indian girl.  Way too cute!  Karsyn told Addi that she looked pretty! =)

Addi - 2013

Here's a look at a few other preschool Thanksgiving Party Pics.

Addi - 2012.  She was in the 3 year-old program.

Evan - 2008.  He was in the 4 year-old program.  It was so long ago, we had a corded phone. ha!

Payton - 2008.  She was in the 3 year-old program.  I LOVE this picture of her!

It's hard to believe that Karsyn will be in the 3 year-old program next year and have her turn at this really fun party!

This is what the past few days have looked like for our little family...busy, fun, and a little chaotic too!  What have yours looked like?
