Monday October 8th

We had a good (but busy) weekend.

Friday after work we went into Monticello to Walmart. We got some groceries and other things. One of the things was some new light bulbs for the bathroom. They are 100 watt energy savers (daylight)... they are BRIGHT. There's 4 of them above the mirror.

Saturday we were supposed to go to a corn maze/pumpkin patch with Eddie's family. It rained all day Friday, and it was cold, so we decided to skip it. We invited everyone over (14 people!) and we had a really late lunch, and carved pumpkins in the dining room. It was pretty fun. Eddie even invited his brother and his wife. Everyone was so shocked when his brother came in. (They had been fighting, and weren't talking to each other)

After everyone left, we headed over to my uncle's house and had dinner with everyone (including my cousin). Vallerie was entertaining my aunt and cousin by showing off her knowledge of colors and some shapes. The most impressive was when Vallerie knew what a trapezoid was. She still has trouble with square and rectangle, but she definitely knows circle, triangle, oval, trapezoid, and diamond. My aunt got her this super cute little Halloween outfit. We're going to get some pictures of Vallerie in it and send them to people.

Sunday we stayed home and cleaned the house. Then I mowed the yard. After Vallerie was bathed and in bed Eddie and I did our own thing for a while and then we decided to watch a movie. It was called Life Happens. I watched all of it. (it sucked) and Eddie fell asleep like 10 minutes in. Oh well.

Today has been busy. I wish it was time to go home. I want to see my family, and I need to finish up those dang bee hats I promised to make.
