Is it really FALL?

Well we have been busy enjoying our fall... just kidding.. it's still 100 degrees in the desert. I did buy a new fall candle, baked some pumpkin bread and we visited the craft store looking for Halloween décor.  None of our efforts are making it feel more Fall around here.  This heat has got to go!  I'm hoping a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth will be just the thing to kick off our fall! 

We are in our 8th week of school and the kids are having the best year!  Only one more full week until Fall Break and then it's homecoming week at the High School.  Kam and her friends are wanting to go to the dance and finding a modest dress is not easy.  Owen is making a ton of friends, still has a mad crush on Payton, and is kicking butt in everything but writing.  His handwriting is pretty scary at this point!  His aide has been busy disinfecting the classroom and reminding Owen to wear his mask when another kid is coughing around him.  SO far, his 1st grade class has been super healthy!! 

Speaking of healthy... Owen got his FLU shot yesterday and he was not thrilled.  The rest of us have a date at Costco to get ours this week.  Owen is immune compromised due to all his transplant meds and we will have a newborn in (about) 92 days... so only come around us if you are healthy!  Also, if you choose the Flu mist over the shot.. please don't come around Owen for at least two weeks because it is a live virus.  Thanks for helping us stay healthy this winter!

Happy Fall!!!
