Ryan Got a Balloon

It's no secret that I hate balloons and my kids might be a little deprived of them.  So when I was at Smith's and the lady asked me if Ryan could have a balloon....  I really, really wanted to say no.  But you should have seen his little face light up.  So I pushed through my balloon hatred and he got his balloon.  He was one happy little guy.

 ( However, there may have been tears from older siblings when they got home from school and learned there was only one for Ryan.)

TOP 5

1. During parent/teacher conferences, finally telling Stew's teacher that my name is actually Amber and not Amanda.  Whew!  I think it's going to stick this time.
2. Having 14 girls show up for Activity Days.  We normally have about 8 or 9, so it was crazy but fun.
3. Putting up Halloween decorations.
4. Stew made his first goal at his soccer game.
5. General Conference

BOTTOM 5

1. I wasn't at the game when Stew made his goal.  Boo. 
2. Ryan getting run over by the neighbor kid on his bike.  He got hit pretty hard.
3. 99% sure that Evie is going to need braces.  I had high hopes that when she lost the teeth on either side of her front teeth that it would help straighten things out.  It didn't happen.
4. Really wishing we had a Costco or Sam's club close by.
5. Stew saying his first real bad word.  But he clearly had no idea it was a bad word because when I said, "What did you say?"  He had no problem repeating it like it was no big deal.  He knows now.
