October has been busy. Chloe turned five months old! She started rolling over from back to front and sleeping in her own room. Scott and I celebrated an anniversary. We went to Downtown Disney, Oak Glen, found a stray dog (gave him back), carved pumpkins, shot a bow & arrow in our backyard, and started our kitchen remodel!

We had been staying home a lot because we had the new baby and the restrictions from Covid, and Sienna and I were going crazy, so we have been trying to go on more playdates to get out of the house and try to make life feel a little more normal for the kids and for me. We love hanging out with my friend from high school and her daughters! We go to the park, splashpad, play places, etc. Sienna and Raegan are less than a year apart and same with Rylie and Chloe.
Scott and I celebrated five years of marriage on October 10. It’s been quite a ride with multiple moves, loss of loved ones, multiple children (daughters specifically), Scott changing employers, me quitting my job to stay home with the girls, and just learning who we are individually and who we are married. I’d say each year, though not respectively easier, has only gotten better. We celebrated with a 5k and then dinner and drinks.
Sienna (& Chloe) LOVES her grandmas. This month, Si got to go shopping, ride the train, and go to the “library” (Barnes & Noble) with Grandma Leslie. She also got to decorate pumpkins with Shell, and swim and paint rocks with Grammie.
Sienna was also quite the baker, chef & painter this month.
We went to Oak Glen for the first time! We went with Scott’s coworker and his family (Chloe stayed with Grandma Shell). Si got stung by a bee almost immediately and her hand swelled up pretty bad, but she still had a fun time! We picked apples and pumpkins, went on a hay ride, dipped candles, threw tomahawks, had lunch, and just had a good day. And then, the next day, we carved pumpkins with them!
And then it was Halloween!! Sienna started her day as Belle, then changed to a ladybug, and finished dressed up as Cinderella. Dad was Prince Charming, Mom was Gus Gus the mouse, and Chloe was a pumpkin, of course!
