We decided not to go to Niagara Falls for our anniversary. We couldn't find a hotel near Clifton hill that wasn't going to cost a arm and leg. So we had a staycation instead! Riley still went to Papa and Gan's on Thursday night. We slept in every morning went to nice dinner's took a nice drive and walk. We went to check out the Ryan Homes which was a mistake because they were so nice that we want to build new! Although I don't want to be in one of those communities because they are not private enough for our taste. I like the Verona with the all the extras of course so it will be a LONG time before that ever happens!
I ended up returning the Shark Pocket Steamer. It worked ok I think it would be better if you have larger counters to clean. They did clean the doors nice but it's extra work in some places because you still have to dust and you have to pull it out plug it in fill it up and can do my normal cleaning way faster then that! I didn't get the mop because I'm afraid it will deactivate the glue on the peel and stick tiles and pull them up I read that on a few reviews. So now I'm not sure what I'm going to get. For our wedding anniversary Zach got me the Panda Pillow Pet and i got him a belt and new pillow which we ended up switching pillows last night because his wasn't squishy enough and mine was better then his new one. It take time to break a new pillow in I told him but a switched anyways. Although i didn't sleep well last night but I don't think it was from the pillow but we will see tonight.
I cannot believe the end of October is already here just a week until Halloween! Riley and I have a busy week planned I just hope we get more done tomorrow then what we did today!

Oh my Back!
Saturday was a special day for Zach and I we celebrated our 12 years dating anniversary! I can't believe we have been together for 12 years! I cut the grass for him Friday and got him some lounge pants. I also made a montage of our 12 years together well at least with the pictures I had I the computer. It's hard to believe we started dating way before it became the norm to upload pictures on the computer! Zach wrote me a lovey letter and told me I could pick one of the shark steam cleaners I wanted. He said he didn't want to get me one because he didn't want to be like here's a mop for our anniversary. I would have been excited because I Really want the pockets steamer, mop and vacuum!( I got the pocket steamer for the house)
Zach's mom came over and watched Riley and we went to a dinner and a movie. It was a lovely evening out and we haven't had one for quite sometime!
Sunday Riley and I went with my mom, Hollie and Ben to Red Wagon Farm. It was SO warm that day a little too warm for doing fall things if you ask me but we had fun! When I got home however I got in the shower and my back started hurting. I thought it was just a little sore and we went to dinner but when I got up from the table it was worse and by the time we stopped at my parents to drop off a corn stalk it was horrible! I could barley get out of the chair. When we got home I lied down with a heating pad and somehow I got though the day alone with Riley. When Zach got home I had to lay down and feel a sleep for a good 2 hours.
Tuesday we were able to make it to my parents and I think just sitting there doing nothing but crocheting helped and it felt better at the end of the night. I was pretty good today I had a doctor's appointment. But I might have done a little too much moving hay bails and planting mums and putting up Halloween signs that Riley and I got from the store after I picked her up from Papa.
I got one of those magnetic bracelets and I believe it was helping but by the time I got done making dinner I was in pain again. It's not as bad as Sunday night but it is not fun have the constant back ache!

October already!
I can't believe it's October already! Already 5 days into October too! (Happy 8th Anniversary Jennifer & Brian!) It has been cold and rainy with no sun for the past week or so now! When it was nice outside Riley and I had a cold so we didn't get to go out and play or we were too busy doing the million of errands we had to do. Hopefully the weather will get a t least a bit nicer so we can take some nice Autumn walks!
We started the Mother Goose Time Curriculum on Friday and I have to say it is just about the dumbest thing I have even done! I can't believe how much I paid for this and can't return it now because I opened the box and used some. I will probably only do the crafts with her which I think are horrible too! Not to mention we did the whole days of lesson plans in 45 minutes and that was with me reading a book that they don't even suggest you do and taking a few potty breaks! We can do the free program in about that time but at least it's free!! The only thing good we got in the box was a circle time CD and the weather counter and sticks because Riley likes them but I could have made those for about 3 bucks!
We got are Halloween decorators put up 2 weeks ago and they look mighty nice! I put my orange light in the front window and it looks very cool!
I will be putting Christmas stuff in the inside the windows too this year! Last year it took forever for Zach to put them up because it was cold and rainy and forever to get them down because there was too much snow and more the half the lights broke because they were frozen in the gutter and they didn't even look nice when people came over because they blew up in the gutter! So not this year I will put them in the windows! If I even get the stuff out it's just so much work!
Riley got her Buzz Lightyear custom and is very happy about it. It's big enough so we can put layers of clothes on underneath. Because it will most likey be a cold Halloween again!
