September 15th, my cousin was having an estate sale from my grandma's house in Illinois, so I thought I should go for moral support and to see if there is anything that I would like to have. Lauren ended up going with me because Ricky got free tickets to the Purdue Football game. Dylan had a soccer game with team pictures that day, so the boys got to spend the day together. This was Dylan and Ethan's first Purdue Football game and Ricky said they loved it! It was really nice to have a girls day and a boys day!
September 21, Dylan had a soccer game on Friday night. I dropped the other kids off at date night so that Ricky and I could enjoy the game, but rain postponed the game. I told Dylan that he could pick anywhere for dinner, so we went to Chick-fil-A. It was really nice to spend the evening with just Dylan. After dinner, we came home and played a couple of games of Yahtzee. I think Dylan won all of them, but it was still fun. Saturday was Ricky's favorite day of the fall, The Feast of the Hunter's Moon. It was a little different this year, because we just went as a family (no grandparents went with us). It was a nice day and we all enjoyed the delicious food and we couldn't have asked for better weather.
We spent the evening relaxing and enjoying some down time. The evening proved to be a little more eventful than planned.I turned on the oven to make a pizza and when I went over to put the pizza in, there were sparks in the oven and tons of smoke. The coil on the bottom of the oven broke into pieces! I didn't even know that was possible! We ordered the part online and got it fixed the next Saturday. (I have to say that my visiting teachers are amazing and brought our family dinner 2 nights this week! It was so nice!) Sunday evening, we went to Ricky's parents house for dinner with all of the close family. It was nice to see Ricky's brothers from Indy and their families. The kids enjoyed a tractor ride around the neighborhood.
The next week was a busy one. Dylan had his make-up soccer game on Monday, practice on Wednesday, a game on Friday night, and then another game on Saturday. Wow, that's a lot of soccer!
My mom and 2 nephews joined us for the Friday and Saturday games, which was really nice. After the Friday night game, we thought it would be fun to go to Wolf Park. They had Howl at the Moon night. I have heard a lot about it, but haven't ever been there. It was really interesting and educational. I enjoyed it, but the kids only liked it for about 10 minutes. The wolves are very big and it was cool to see them in their own environment.
After the game on Saturday, my mom took the oldest 3 boys (Dylan and my nephews) back to Indy to go camping with my dad. Brayden had a cub scout camp-out and invited Dylan along. They all had a blast and were very tired on Sunday. Saturday night, I got to enjoy the womens' conference at church. It was much needed and very uplifting. Soon after I got home, Ethan woke up crying. I went into his room to find out that he had thrown up in his bed. Gross. Ethan and I got to spend the day cuddling on the couch and I think we watched every episode of Bubble Guppies. I had to go to Indy to pick up Dylan, so the kids and I headed down there at 5 and were home by 9. It was a nice, short trip with nice company and good food. Luckily Ethan didn't get sick in the car. It ended up being a very long weekend!
On the 21st, I got the new IPhone 5! I was so excited to get a new phone and it has been amazing! The picture is so clear, and it is amazingly fast! I love my new phone!
This week has had it's ups and downs. It has been rainy and Ethan has been congested, so we have had some long days. Tuesday(October 2), we went to Throckmorton Farms, a Purdue lab, to get free pumpkins. They let you come and get a free pumpkin and then some free gourds. The kids didn't do the best, it was muddy and a little chilly, but it was still fun.
Ethan loved riding on the tractor. He just melted down when his boots were 5 pounds each because the mud was stuck to them.
Lauren and her friends, Kiah and Brielle. They had a blast on the tractor. 
Today was one of my friend's birthdays, so a few of us got together for lunch. It was very nice and much needed.
Here are a couple of fun pictures that show the fun we have around our house!
Lauren enjoying a big box that we got diapers in.
The boys on a good day, and cutie Lauren! (They have their ups and downs!) I thought i was so cute that Ethan had his arm around Jack. My kids love to read books!
