October

October was a fun month!  Sadie's babysitter was closed on Oct. 2 & 3 due to cataract (sp?) surgery.  Terry kept her one day & Irene kept her the other.  She is a good baby, so they had no trouble out of her!

On Saturday, Oct. 6, Carrollton had their annual Pilgrimage.  It turned out to be cold this year!  Terry & I loaded up the girls & went.  We actually go there the same time mom, granny & Brandi did, so we all walked around together.  There were many booths, mostly pottery & homemade wooden decor, but everything was nice.  Triple N Ranch had a couple of horses for the kids to ride & a camel!  The camel wasn't big enough to ride just yet plus he's gotta be trained, but he was out walking around for all the kids to see & pet.  I managed to buy a couple of Christmas presents.  Got finished with Brandi & got a couple more things, just not sure who I'm going to give them to just yet! The rest of the afternoon we just stayed around the house & had a lazy day!

We celebrated Brandi's birthday that Sunday.  She chose chili for her birthday dinner!

The next week, school was closed on Monday, the 8th, for fall break.  Daycare was also closed Monday & Tuesday.  Ms. Holman had cataract surgery on her other eye!  Natalee spent the night with Mamaw & Papaw Mitchell that Sunday night & they kept her that Monday.  Irene kept Sadie that Monday & part of the day Tuesday, while Terry got some sleep. They all seemed to have fun.

Wednesday, the 10th, Sadie had a check up for her ears.  She had another ear infection!  This time the opposite ear! Good news is she weighed in at 14 lbs. 14 oz!  She is now in a size 2 diaper, 3-6 month clothes, drinking 5-6 6oz bottles a day & eating at least 2 meals & sometimes a snack!  We love our chunky monkey! Also, she celebrated her 5 month birthday on Oct. 8!

Friday, the 12th, North New Summit School had their Cowboy Festival.  Debbie was in charge of Bingo, so we went to help her. And to play! I help Debbie take up money & mom called out the numbers.  We had so many prizes!  It was supposed to be from 7:30 - 9:30, but we didn't get finished until about 11!  Everyone had fun though & loved all the prizes Debbie got! I did end up winning one set of prizes.  It was a set of "green" storage containers, a ring, a t-shirt, a couple of bowling passes, a couple of gift cert for the Waffle House, a gift cert to Crystal Grill, a gift cert to the donut place, a gift cert to the school uniform place, & a couple of bracelets....I think that's all!  It was well over $150 worth of stuff!

That about sums up the month of October, except for school events & Halloween, which will be in separate posts!
