On Friday I went to the orchard with some friends. The kids fed the goats, we had donuts and cider, played in the hay, and picked out some pumpkins. Afterwards we all went to Russ' for lunch. It was funny because I was the first one there and had to tell the hostess, "We have 4 adults, 4 kids, and 3 babies." She just said, "OK..." Considering it went pretty well. :) Sunday was a busy day too. We put Alexa in nursery for the first time. It is a pretty intense system. We both get wristbands with numbers that will go on the screen if there is a problem. It is split up into sections like non-mobile, crawlers, walkers so it is nice to know that little kids aren't crawling all over her. We just made it in time because the poor people behind us couldn't leave their kid because the limit had been met. She was sound asleep when we left her and happy as a clam when we came to pick her up. I kept thinking during the service that I was missing something because I actually could listen to the sermon and sing the songs opposed to wiping up spit up, quietly feeding her a bottle, entertaining her, forcing her to go down by walking laps around the shed, or constantly eying her in her carseat mapping out a mental escape route incase she wakes up cranky! This was a relief because the first nursery attempt during my Wednesday night bible study didn't go so smoothly. About hour into it, the young girl found me and said, "There is a problem with Alexa. She puked everywhere." Uh-oh...she had spit up quite a bit and needed a change of clothes. I felt bad for the girl watching all the kids because she was left to clean up the mess and it's never fun to get spit-up on. Alexa finished off bible study by being passed around the table woman to woman. She probably thought it wasn't such a bad deal getting all that extra attention. Back to the busy Sunday, we got home from church and headed out to an another orchard on Fruitridge. This was quite the production and it was packed. We had to wait in line for about 20 minutes for a donut. Keith picked out some huge pumpkins for him and Ruben to carve and we took some photos of Alexa. To cap of the day, Allison and Steve had the family over for supper.
