 This week was Paul's last week of paternity leave.  He was awesome at taking care of cooking and helping me nap.  Tuesday, we went to a different park in Fernley, and I sat with Katie while Paul and Mary were exploring the park.  Wednesday, we ran errands in Reno and had a little family date while we were in town.  Thursday, we tried a new (to us) restaurant in Fallon then went home and watched Halloween movies.  

Saturday, I made Texas sheet cake to take to the ward trunk or treat that night. I'm guessing everyone liked it because the pan was scraped clean when I grabbed it to take home. Mary dressed up as Ghost Spider from the spider-man tv show.  I took her to the party and Paul stayed home with Katie.  We had a chili dinner, the youth put on games for the primary and Mary played the donut on a string game, fishing for candy, and a cup game.  Then we went into the parking lot for trick or treating and Mary was so excited to go home and show Paul all the candy she got.

Katie turned one month old on Sunday!  I can't believe how fast this past month has gone.  We are grateful she eats, sleeps, and is growing so well.  She is awake more now, can focus on what she's looking at, and can hold her head up more.

Paul showed Mary Bug's Life, and she loves it!  Every time she wants to watch it, she says she wants to watch "Buzz Like".

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
