Cornbelly's Part II

Alright.

We are planning on heading down to Cornbelly's Thursday, October 14th (in one week). We will probably leave around 3:00 or 4:00 (depending on what time Kohen wakes from his nap) and stay for the rest of the night. We are planning to grab dinner down there as well (it's delish!).You are ALL welcome to join us, the more the merrier. I remember last year a bunch of us did a bunch of the activities together, and it was a BLAST.

Let me know if you have questions or decide you want to come and we can meet up.

We hope to see some familiar faces!

Halloween Party!

So, I was thinking it would be fun to have a Halloween party for the kids. I was having a hard time getting some of the details together, until genius Rachael had the idea to make it a progressive Halloween party! In case you don't know what that is: the kids would have a number of different activities/snacks/games that they would do and each one would be at a different house. (That way each house would only have to deal with about 20 minutes of disaster!!!)

Would any one be interested in participating in this? I think the kids would have a lot of fun showing off their costumes and playing with their friends, and -of course- the moms always have fun when they get together :) We've decided to have it in the morning on either Thursday, October 14th or Friday, October 15th so the kids who are in school can come. (It's Fall Break then.)

I have found some cute things on the Family Fun site, but any ideas are welcome! Leave a comment if you would be willing to be a host house and what kind of event you'd like to host. Also, leave a comment if you'd like to come (since we obviously don't have time to go to everyone's house) so we have a rough guess on attendance numbers. Thank you, Ladies!!!

Cornbelly's

I have been asked about our Cornbelly's outing by a couple ladies and here is the scoop...

I haven't planned anything yet because it doesn't open until October but if you are interested in going, buy your tickets NOW! They are on sale ($3.00 cheaper than the original price) if you purchase them before Friday. Last year we bought them as a group and saved about $2.50 per person which was still a great deal, but since it was a group discount, they required us to have a minimum of 15 people (which was kind of hard to put together with everyone's busy schedules).

Anyway, if you are thinking of going this fall, hop online and buy your tickets. I would love to still go as a group, so if you are interested, let me know and I will arrange something.We can all set aside a night-out and meet down there if you want. But this way, we can still get a discount without worrying about getting a certain number of people in our group!

p.s. It's $2.00 cheaper to go during the week (Monday-Thursday) than to go on the weekends. But if you have a husband who may or may not work late (like mine) than the weekend price is still great!

Bad news

Sorry to use this blog for bad news, but thought it was the easiest way to reach many of you.

Katelyn has had strep throat and has exposed many of your children.

Two weeks ago her tonsils were swollen, but no fever so the nurse that I called said she was fine and to not bring her in. Five days later we took her in. The Dr. said she was fine and only had pink eye. The next day she had a fever and we took her back in and that time they diagnosed her with strep. So, we treated her for strep for ten days. Saturday was day ten.

Monday morning her tonsils are sounding swollen again. Charley takes her to the Dr. Dr. says she is fine, just watch her. Two hours later she spikes a fever. Take her back to the Dr. Now they say she has strep again.

So, I believe at nursery yesterday and on the playground today she was probably contagious.

I am so sick of the stinkin' doctor and all the co-pays and gas money it cost for double trips when he failed to diagnose her strep throat.

I am very sorry. I had no clue, especially when the Dr. was telling me she was fine.

Just wanted to let you know so that you would know what to watch for.

In addition, I have been super sick, although my strep test came back negative. I don't believe I was around any of you or your kiddos too much in the last few days, so hopefully I have not exposed you to whatever in the world it is that I have! We will be quarantined for a few days!!

Nursery Sit-In

Is there anyone who would be willing to sit in for Joel and I in the nursery this Sunday?

I have got the nastiest cold that will not go away and hate to call individual people because I don't want anyone to feel obligated to say yes. So this way you are offering...I'm not putting a guilt trip on anyone....unless I have too ;)

Groupon

Just in case you haven't heard of it, there is a service called Groupon where they have a daily deal. Some of the stuff is pretty awesome and at pretty great discounts.

Just wanted to spread the word:
