We made a baby blanket for a friend who is having a baby any day now. The kids tied it--and learned how to tie a square knot!
We ate yummy food for General Conference--Stephen was proud of me for halving all recipes. :) BUT--making yummy food just made me miss Paul & Candace & co in Utah and my brother Brett's family in Idaho. We always spent Conference together.
Elise helped Stephen in the yard in between sessions on Saturday. I find it hilarious that she used the leaf blower!
Farmer Sammy helped tidy up the flower garden. We pulled out all the kids' getting-bigger boxes to get cool weather clothes--most of them enjoyed trying on "new" things. Mason enjoyed it for about the first 5 minutes, and then complained the rest of the time. Sammy and Elise loved it and Lincoln tolerated me holding clothes up to him. Sammy was SO excited to see there was a pair of overalls that would fit him! We also put away all summer clothes...and it's been in the 80s all week. In October. In Minnesota!?!?!
Lincoln likes to sit on the counter and "help" me whenever I do anything in the kitchen. He hasn't fallen yet--he's pretty cautious. He also loves the treats he gets when he's helping...
Last night I asked Stephen to take Lincoln out of the kitchen because I just couldn't handle his whining and climbing on my legs when I was trying to make dinner. I kid you not, not 1 minute later I hear a "WHACK" and then the screaming started. Elise came in, "Lincoln bonked his eye and is bleeding all over." I figured Stephen had things under control (and I was kind of busy frying Swedish pancakes anyhow), so I had her get a cool, wet rag for him. Stephen had tossed Lincoln on the couch (Lincoln loves it!), but failed to catch him before he rolled off onto our little end table. He has an inch-long cut right on his eyebrow.
Some Neosporin, 2 butterfly bandages and one bandaid later, Lincoln was NOT happy with Stephen. He sat like this all dinner long, just scowling. He perked up once Stephen left the table, and only then would he eat. Stephen was convinced that Lincoln was very upset with him. Kind of looks like it! (He's fine this morning--I was kind of worried he'd need stitches, but I think he'll just end up with a really cool scar.)

What a face! That's hilarious. Glad his eye is okay. Good luck in the coming days. Liam will be 2 on Sunday and I still remember being sooooo ready for him to be born. We'll be thinking of you guys.

Good luck over the next few weeks!
