Tuesday I had to go for a 3 hour glucose test after dropping Jared and Lauren off at school. (My test results from the Friday before had come back Monday and they wanted me to do more tests...so I scheduled it for the next day to get it over with.) Bradley and Connor went with me to the lab. I didn't know anything about the test before...except you have to take it if you don't pass the glucose test at 28 weeks (which I did pass). You have to show up fasting for 12 hours. Then they draw your blood, then you drink the orange drink, after an hour they draw your blood again, then an hour after that, and an hour after that. We were at the lab for about 3 1/2 hours. Bradley and Connor really did a great job. They helped to entertain me...and the rest of the people there too. :) For the first hour we read books, changed Connor's diaper, Connor got some skin ripped on the side of his finger somehow in the bathroom, and we read more books. The second hour they worked on some Thanksgiving pages I had printed out. Most of them were just coloring pages, but there were a few where they had to cut and glue. They both loved getting to do them and kept them busy the whole hour. The third hour they did a little more coloring, read a few more books, and Bradley did some dot to dots and memory games on my tablet. The people working at the lab thought Bradley and Connor did a great job there too. We hurried right home to eat lunch! :) That afternoon I cooked a ham for a Thanksgiving dinner the young women and young men were doing for the singles in the ward. I heard everything turned out really well. After smelling the yummy ham all afternoon we had to come home and have leftovers.
You can see all the stickers Connor got at the lab that morning.
Wednesday was another crazy day. I don't know what it is about Wednesdays. We had lots of cleaning up to do. We got everything picked up and all the floors downstairs washed. We tried to go to playgroup but we were kind of late and there wasn't anyone else there. We went to the store and grabbed a can of green chilis we needed for dinner and came home to clean up a little more and eat lunch. After school we went to the library for the craft. Once we were back home we did the finishing touches on cleaning up and I made oatmeal wheat pan bread to go with the white bean chicken chili. We had a family coming over to eat dinner with our kids and then play so Alan and I could go on a hospital tour. It was good to go see the hospital and learn a little more about it. It is a smaller hospital and will be a different experience than Utah Valley. Everyone had a fun time here at home while we were gone. Connor was pretty upset when our friends had to leave.
Thursday was a little calmer day. We were able to just do a few normal chores and play lots. Bradley, Connor and I went for a walk in the morning and when we got home I could open the door, but my key got stuck in the lock and I couldn't get it back out. I wasn't sure what I would do. I tried for about 5 minute. I finally went and asked our neighbor across the street and he came over and got it out for me. I felt pretty silly though. We rarely go in and out through the front door since we have to park in the garage. Jared had cub scouts..which he loves! Alan also went to the chiropractor on his way home from work (Monday and Wednesday too). It gets dark pretty early but we still go outside and play for a few minutes.
I just had to laugh when I looked at my counter...pineapple, watermelon, honeydew melon, and pumpkin! (I got all the fruit on sale too.)
Friday morning I went to the doctor. They did a quick ultra sound and we found out the baby is breech. (all my other tests were normal). We scheduled a time for the doctor to try and turn the baby. After I picked up Bradley and Connor from the neighbor's we went to story time at the library. Then from there we went to Frazier Farms for our produce shopping. We hurried home to eat lunch and put groceries away then to pick up Jared and Lauren. We played outside quite a bit and then watched part of the BYU women's soccer game on BYU tv. Right when it got over the sister missionaries stopped by for about 30 minutes to talk to us about a family they are teaching right now. Then we ate dinner and watched part of a BYU basketball game on BYU tv.
Saturday Alan helped our neighbor next door take down the rest of the fence. (The neighbor has been working on it off and on all week). Then they worked out back some more. We went to a barbeque with Alan's friends from work at one of their houses for lunch. Then on the way home we decided to do some shopping. We had a few things we needed at walmart and everyone needed new shoes. It took lots longer than any of us thought it would. We ended up going to almost every store in the strip center...Target, Ross, Payless, Famous Foot Wear, and Michaels ( just because it was close). We came home and made some dinner and Alan took Connor with him to food 4 less to get the rest of the shopping done.
A pretty big lizard our neighbor found...and shared
All week our neighbor has been working on taking down the fence so it can be rebuilt on Monday. Alan and these guys went out to help him on Saturday.
Sunday was a pretty normal day... Kind of. Alan had a Sunday school presidency meeting right after church that a member of the stake Sunday school presidency attended to do some training. We went back to the church to meet him and to go to tithing settlement. Alan went home teaching in the evening. Only one more week until Thanksgiving vacation!
