We had a great party at Lauren's school on Halloween and then got to go trick or treating that night. The kids got a TON of candy and Kate got a nap. It was gorgeous weather!

Fall break
Who gets a week long fall break? FSSD, that's who! So the launch of the iPhone perfectly aligned with Jenna's birthday party, so John did not get to go to Indiana with us. I packed up the kids and headed to Indiana. Friday night, we spent at Mother and Dad's house, got up Saturday morning and went to Rebecca and Bryan's house to let the kids play and visit. After that, we went to get Malee to head to Evansville for Cici's Pizza for lunch and going shopping at Sam's Club. When we got back in town, we went to Aunt Marie's house for a small family gathering for her 98th birthday. It's always good to see family, but it does make me miss granddad, especially when I see Uncle Norman. (as a side note, I originally typed his name as Normal, which makes me laugh because I know no normal Carnahans). We spent Saturday night at Chuck and Malee's house and then Sunday was PARTY DAY!
It's hard to believe Jenna is 4 already! We played, ate and watched gifts be opened and enjoyed. Then Daisie and Daphne got to come over and play for a while. Kate enjoyed a nap outside with Dusti holding her until they had to head home. From there, we headed to Jill's parents house to play with her kids for a couple of hours, then on to Janelle's house to play there too!
Finally on Monday, we headed back to the land of Dixie. It was good to be home. We missed John and I think he missed us, too. We played around and went out enjoyed ourselves since John was able to take some time off on Wed., Thurs and will again on Friday.
I'm glad for a week of fall break. Next break? A week off at Thanksgiving. Lots of breaks, but we'll make the best of all of them!!

Fall
This is some wonderful weather we are having. Beautiful, blue skies, around 80 degrees. Makes me want to take a walk at night, but without a sitter to watch the kids and not wanting to carry sleepy kids home, we don't walk at night.
Kate is growing like a weed, Lauren and Jack are, too. Hard to believe he'll soon be 5 yrs. old. I enjoy seeing them be older siblings to Kate. Jack LOVES to make her laugh and giggle. His favorite pass time is giving "zerberts" on my arm. Lauren is reading more, on her own, with no prompting from me. She is working hard in her intervention program to get up to speed on reading. Math is certainly her strong suit! Don't know how or where she got that, but I'm thankful she did!
Kate is now up to 8 teeth and started crawling a couple of days ago. TOO FAST!

She loved it!
The lock in was a success. She had fun, met nice kids, ate pizza and had a scavenger hunt that ended with ice cream, watch "The Brady Family (Bunch)" movie and learned about her bible. SUCCESS!!
Today after pick up, we went to the Franklin Farmer's Market where I spotted two celebrities. Not super star struck, but definitely star excited. I played it cool and didn't attack them or take their picture or anything, but I did want to...They deserve to have family shopping/normal time, right? Right.
Off to dinner with friends thanks to Living Social. Maybe we will see more celebrities? I know the Judds have been known to eat there.

First church lock in
Tonight is Lauren's first church lock in. All of the 3rd graders at our church were presented a bible last Sunday and tonight they will learn how to use them. I think it is a terrific idea! A bible can be a confusing tool to use, especially at first! She is very excited!! I volunteered to take a dozen cookies, so after school drop off this morning, Jack and Kate and I will be going to Sam's to get some cookies. Wonder if he'll try to get me to buy some for our house as well...bet I know.

So, Jack is going to be 4 on Wednesday. Where does time go? 10 weeks until Katherine gets here. Tuesday is Lauren's Christmas program. Santa is surely watching this house about now to see who has been naughty and who has been nice. Cat? Naughty. Dog? Nice. We had Jack's family party last night and he loved every minute of it! Even slept in his new house shoes. That kid loves Lightning McQueen!
