Wednesday. Oct 19 at Katie's

 We slept in, we ate, we played. We crafted, we watched a movie...cooked food, played at a park.

Here is Quintin with some of the spiders we made.

Back when I was a kid, these were the ONLY kind of Halloween decorations we ever had! So the twins and I made paper pumpkins and taped them to the window. 

Katie had some other, fancier crafts we worked on while she grilled up some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner tonight.

Isn't this a cute little garland?

Wednesday p.m. Katie's off to work. Night shifts are tough.

After lunch, Katie switched out some of her kitchen cabinet hinges to the "self-closing" kind. 

But she did have about 6 hours of un-interrupted sleep when she came home this morning. Since it's Fall Break, kids are sleeping in and playing on their devices. 

Last night (Tuesday) Casey turned OFF their connections so Hayden and Corbin would come and watch a movie with us. I'd been wanting to see "Dog." It wasn't as good as I thought it would be and poor Mike was unable to hear ANY of it. 

Wednesday afternoon, the kids watched "Light-year." Corbin said, "We are best friends,".  Wellll, maybe for a minute. Haha.

At lunch today, Katie had Doritos. With a spoon. Because her kids won't eat the crumbs. Of ANY chips!

The little kids and I went to a nearby playground. It was really nice! It is across a busy highway, so kids would not be able to go on their own. I drove the twins there.

 Corbin declined the invite. I couldn't find Hayden in his mountain of blankets on his bed. It's an elephant-sized NEST that he regularly sleeps in.

 

This is how Mike and the twins spent a quiet morning together on Wednesday. I got showered and cleaned up. We head out tomorrow to our next stop-- Mesa Verde! 

In the late afternoon, we made some caramel apples. Not everyone liked them. All the more for me and Katie!
