My favorite season

 



It's my favorite season! Not because of pumpkin flavored this and pumpkin flavored that... To be honest, I can totally do without all the pumpkin flavored nonsense. I love Halloween! I have every intenton of dressing up and taking my kids trick or treating on Halloween this year. Yesterday Steve and I took the kids to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. It was so crowded, but we had a blast. The kids went on the carousel, Evan did the zipline, we did the corn maze and got our pumpkins. It was so nice keep a tradition. It was nice to do something normal. The pumpkin farm is all outside so we were able to enjoy a mask free day. I'm sure there are people who will criticize, so if you live in the area and don't feel comfortable with everyone walking around without a mask, skip Bishop's Pumpkin Farm this year. 
After Bishop's we came home and BBQd burgers and watched Halloweentown together. 

It was a pretty decent week. It's hard to type out, "Hey, it was a great week!" I suppose the new reply is, "For 2020 it was a good week." We met up with some friends at the park and they all got to be kids and actually play together. It was good for the kids and good for the moms. At this point anything slightly normal is nice. Going to the market is not so bad anymore either, it's gotten to the point I go around the same time of day and I know my cashiers. 

It's interesting... I started this blog and my first blog has quite a few comments.... Then as I write more I can see how many people have read my blog, but not many comments. I do love reading the comments. I am guessing not many people are leaving comments because they may disagree with my opinions, and that's okay. They are my opinions and you do not have to share them. Gosh, where was I going with this, oh yeah... I am a rule follower, when I go to the market I wear my mask. When it's required I wear a mask. Do I agree with having to wear a mask? NOPE. But I follow the rules anyway. 

I think that's it for now. I feel like there is more I had planned to type, but it's just not coming to me. But, really there is not a whole lot going on. Everyday kind of just blends together. We had one day at the park, we got to go out to dinner and eat inside a restaurant, and we went to Bishop's.

Rafting Trip

Image
       It all started when my sister in law Sara told me she was headed up this way to visit with her daughter Savannah and they were thinking of going rafting. I naturally invited myself and Steve and the kids. So I started looking around for a rafting trip that I would be able to bring Claire. I found the perfect trip for us through Raft California. I booked a trip for the 6 of us. Steve's mom heard we were going and wanted to come along so we added her, then Savannah's roomate Iris wanted to come too so we were now a group of 8.          We met our tour guide at a hotel in Auburn. We piled onto the shuttle bus and headed to the American River. We were rafting the Lower Middle Fork American River. It was a blast!!! There was another group on the shuttle bus with us. A group of 3, two adults and a child... I'm guessing he was around 6 years old. Anyway, the ride down to the river felt forever long, we had to wear our face masks and the air d...

Goodbye 2020

Hang in there, this is likely going to be a long post because there is a lot of catching up to do. Please do hang in there, because I am looking for advice. So, my birthday. Oh my gosh was it fabulous. So yeah, that week Stevei was here and that was fun. 5 kiddos under the age of 8 running around the house. Oh did we all have fun. I'm being serious, not snarky and sarcastic. Those kids get along great and pretty much take care of themselves when they are together. The only reason Stevei and I had to be there was to make sure they ate once in a while and didn't die. On my birthday I went to dinner with some good friends, because at that time there was still this thing called indoor dining. It's where you go out to a building and sit down, there are menus where they let you choose what you want to eat and then they bring it to you. Yup snarkiness back. Down with Newsom. So, fabulous dinner with 2 of my girls. Felt very loved on my birthday. My most treasured gift for my birth...

October

Image
 A lot has happened in October. My parents moved to Lincoln, which is only 15 minutes away. We have already gotten back to having our weekly dinners. It's fantastic having my parents close by again. They love their little neigborhood. Their house is in a cul-de-sac, within the first 2 days just about all their neighbors came over and introduced themselves. Their next door neighbor baked them some bread. Just wow! It's so neat that there are still neigborhoods that work like that.  October is kind of a blur. Actually, 2020 is kind of a blur. I spent a good chunk of October angry. Really angry. I try to limit how often I go to the market, when I am at the market I try to get in and out as fast as I can. Then, I have a hard time breathing because I've been nearly jogging the market. I HATE WEARING A MASK!  Our family made the decision together that the kids would stick with online learning for the full school year. Our school went back to teaching on campus November 4. So, t...
