Fun Friday

Today being October 1st we are putting out all the fun pumpkins and fall decorations. I put my pretty fall wreath on the front door and Morgan helped me get the scary pumpkins out of the garage so we can put them up on our high wall ledge and plug them in to have glowy yellow spooky pumpkins at night. I am not a big Halloween decorator, I usually opt for things I can leave up until it's time for the Christmas decor to come out. Morgan keeps asking me if it is Christmas time and if he can help put up the Christmas decorations. I think the holidays all sort of blend together for him at this point. He also thinks Dumbledore from Harry Potter is Santa Claus, so I guess we have a few things to straighten out.

Kendle gets to have a friend over after school today and she is excited. They get to play and have pizza and watch a movie and then we'll take the little friend home after dinner. It's so nice that the girls can just ride the bus home together which saves me lots of running around. It never hurts either to use the friend coming over as bribery to keep her room clean. :)

Riley hinted this morning that they are having early soccer practice tonight and he may want to take me out to dinner. Sometimes it is fun to get dressed really cute and have a night out with your hubby. Those get few and far between for us during soccer season (which is pretty much all year long.) Other times it is nice to just enjoy a night with everyone home at the same time without running from here to there and reheating dinners and being exhausted by 7:00. We have been wanting to try out this little place:

We have heard good things about it and one of the boys soccer players Riley coaches works there. It is supposed to be really authentic home cooked Italian food.

Today just feels like a good day. I'm going to try and get caught up on folding the laundry and get ready for our crazy soccer day tomorrow. Kendle's team plays bright and early at 9:00 and then Riley's high school team plays Kamiakin at 11:00. Busy, busy but it will be nice to be done with all things soccer by 2:00 in the afternoon and have the rest of the weekend to enjoy our family and General Conference.

I can't believe last year around this time I looked like this. I can still remember how uncomfortable that was!
