Paul started back at work this week and his coworkers welcomed him back with open arms!  Tuesday was Paul's birthday and one of his technicians made him banana bread. I made him pumpkin s'more bars as his birthday cake and we went into Reno for a birthday dinner.  We then remembered why we don't often sit down in a restaurant since having two kids.

Monday afternoon Josie Durocher invited Mary to her dance class Halloween party.  Mary had so much fun and is excited to start at the dance studio herself in January.  Tuesday the Gochenour's had Mary over for a playdate.  She had so much fun playing with her friends, she missed seeing them this past month.

Katie has been sleeping really well this week.  She had a couple nights where she slept 7 hours straight!

Halloween was so fun, we went to the play group at the church where we had a pot luck and Lindsay Durocher brought toys and crafts for the kids.  The kids loved showing each other their costumes.  Paul came home early to go trick or treating with us at the town hall event.  Mary loved trick or treating and her ghost spider costume.  Katie was our little pumpkin for Halloween, she was too big for her newborn outfit but we made it work for one more day.

Friday Mary climbed into the bed with Katie and me and snuggled under the blanket.  I was falling back to sleep when I heard Mary's very soft whisper, "I need yogurt.  I need yogurt.  I need yogurt." Haha then I got up and got her yogurt.  Winnie Blesh came to visit us later that morning and brought Mary a baby doll. Paul was able to come home early again and we drove to Fallon to check out a Christmas market that I've been looking forward to.  Mary liked the little beds they had set up by the movie area where they were playing Rankin Bass Christmas movies.  On the way home Paul really had to poop, so we pulled over and he squatted behind a sage brush bush and took a giant poop.  Then, while he was wiping he tried to stay in a squatting position but he lost his balance and fell butt first into a prickly sage brush.  He got all scraped up.

Sunday we got to match in our church clothes.  I had a meeting with my activities committee and we got some fun stuff planned!

Mary watched a video about dinosaurs then we played with her dinosaur toys.  I asked her, "is that a dinosaur?" and she said, "no, it's not a dinosaur.  It's a stegosaurus!"  Later we played with Legos and I built something and Mary validated me by saying, "wow, that's great!"

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...
