Ryan's Birthday!

It was red ribbon week this past week so every day was a different dress up day.  It was fun but I'm glad I don't have to worry about dressing up anymore. I got allergy tested like Corbin on Tuesday. I too am very allergic to several trees and grasses along with cats and dogs. Luckily, Charly is hypoallergenic and I haven't noticed any reactions having her in the house. As soon as the insurance and solution get sorted out I will start getting shot treatments like Corbin. I hope it works for both of us!

Ryan's birthday was on Saturday so I made him the usual birthday breakfast of waffles and bacon. After that we went to Jump Time. Ryan wanted to go to McDonald's for his birthday lunch and Corbin was trying to bribe him into going to Idaho Pizza Company. Finally, I just dropped off Corbin and Gabby at Idaho Pizza Company and took Piper and Ryan to get McDonald's. Ryan wanted Costco chicken and rice for his birthday dinner. I was stoked, that's easy!  Then it was cupcake and present time. I think Ryan had a good birthday. It's crazy that he's 9! He has a very quirky, funny personality. 

Krista threw her annual Halloween party. I think she's burned out and might not do it again. She goes ALL out! It's so much work. Later in the evening we watched a very late night scary movie and it was so good! I love good scary movies. I don't know why! They are stressful to watch. I'm ahead right now with teaching and that feels so good. I had time to take Gabby thrift store shopping. She bought a ton of ugly grandma knick knack style decorations for her room and ugly oversize shirts. I don't get it. Whatever. Tonight I made caramel popcorn balls, my favorite, and also my favorite pumpkin cake for an early birthday present to myself. I'm taking a bunch of it to school to share with my AVID students and some of the faculty. Now it's time to go watch another scary movie!
