A weekend in the life - Sunday

Yesterday morning started off with Jake and I taking turns showering and getting ready for church while the kids ate breakfast and played. Around 9 Ryker went down for a nap and Jake mentioned not feeling the best so I offered to take Ilyana out for a walk to go get doughnuts from the Casey's down the street. She was not thrilled with the idea but we went anyways. On our way there we saw a squirrel and we watched it eat an acorn and then scramble up a tree. Ilyana was highly amused. At Casey's we saw our neighbor so we had a nice chat with her about our plans for Halloween, got our doughnuts, and then walked back home. Once we got home and Ilyana realized what a doughnut was she was pretty excited so we sat and ate our doughnuts and told daddy all about our adventure.

Around 10:15 we woke Ryker up and headed to church. Ilyana freaked out in childcare so we missed most of the message but it was enjoyable seeing everybody! Ilyana was having a bit of a rough time so we headed home with the intent of feeding her quick and putting her down for a nap but apparently Ilyana didn't want to wait and she fell asleep on the way home. I carried her inside and enjoyed the rare sleeping snuggles while Jake made her some lunch (hot dog, black beans, and some fruit) and then woke her up so she could eat and then go back down for a nap. Ryker went down for a nap about the same time as she did.

Jake and I both napped and ate lunch while the kids napped. Ryker woke up around 2 and came downstairs to play. He loves the new Bubble Guppies books too! While he was playing I used the rest of the fleece I had bought on Saturday to make diaper liners for his cloth diapers. Basically they just go in between the baby and the diaper so if he poops I can just throw away the liner without having to wash poop off the diaper and if it's just pee I can wash the liner to use it again!

Ilyana woke up around 3 so we got the kids dressed in their Halloween costumes and headed a Halloween party with our friends from Ilyana's old mommy and me class! Ilyana is dressed up as a panda and Ryker is dressed up as Harry Potter! As a little snack I brought strawberries dipped in white chocolate that looked like little ghosts. They were tasty! We had a lot of fun playing with our friends at the party!

After the party we headed over to Pete and Raylene's house for family night and had some delicious beef stew for supper. We had a lot of fun hanging out with family. While we were there Ilyana went up to uncle Nate and said "Hi! What are you doing?" We were all pretty shocked. Around 6:15 we headed home to put the kids to bed. After the kids were sleeping Jake and I read and discussed a Bible study and then watched some Netflix and before heading to bed ourselves. It was a good day!
