It seems like the days are flying by here. Which I guess is a good thing, except for when you don't get the things done that you are supposed to be doing.
Zayin got school photos done, and he did really well, considering the little girl in front of him was not having it. Her poor mom had to finally just settle on the best picture because the photographer said he couldn't do any more. Then Zayin got up, took 2 shots and I said good! The photographer took one more just to compare, and we picked out the 2nd pose and headed on our way, painless!
Thursday was a super busy day for us. Zayin had a school field trip to the pumpkin patch at Shasta University in the morning. He had a blast. We all went and Zoe never stopped smiling! She loves all the animals so much, I definitely think she is going to be a 4H girl! We got to see pigs, sheep, cows, goats, and then we had a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Zayin even got to pick out a pumpkin, and he picked a pretty big one. Then we went home, had some lunch, and took a nap. That evening we had a birthday party to go to for Carrie. It was really nice. Zayin and Zoe had both made her cards, and I made some potato salad and green salad to take. We ate and then sang Happy Birthday and ate cake. Then they had worship in the living room. There was a cello, violin or viola, and 2 guitars. Carrie sang and she had a beautiful voice. It was really great to just sit and soak.
That night it started raining and rained for 3 days straight! Saturday night when we were going to bed, Eli looked up and realized there were 2 bubbles of pain on our ceiling, full of water. We had a leak! They came in and looked at it, but we aren't sure if they actually fixed it or it just stopped raining. I guess we will find out sooner or later, we will just keep the bowl out just in case. hehehe. They did however give us $100 off our next month's rent because of all the troubles we have been having with the apartment. So that is a huge blessing and we really appreciate it. Thank you Jesus!!
Sunday we had our church service that was great. Zayin came out of Sunday school and he had drawn a picture of my heart. Who's 3 year old says things like that? Apparently mine does! Zoe even had some crafts she came out with. They said she finds the same baby doll every week and keeps it tucked under her arm the entire time. She feeds her a bottle and puts her down for a nap. Too cute! Then a couple from Eli's group invited us and Steven and Tiffany and their kids over to their place for lunch. we had salad, chicken and rice! Then finished it off with ice cream and Popsicles for the kids. Yummy!! After that we went over to Matt and Kelly's to finish laundry, hang out and let the kids play! LONG DAY! But everyone had so much fun, and both kids crashed on the way home. Zoe was in bed by 7:45 which I'm pretty sure is a record.
Today has been a chill day. We did however clean the whole apartment because Eli had a friend, Dan who is also from Montana, coming over to play video games and hang out. I made a bean soup that turned out amazing! I was pretty impressed. Kelly bought us some groceries and this bean soup mix was in there. It turned out to be more like chili, but it was way good. Thank you Kelly!
That's it for now. Hope you have an amazing evening! Love all y'alls!
