When we went to Nantahala a few summers ago, we all had a blast by building fires outside and roasting marshmallows. Luke still talks about that vacation and how much fun he had so we decided to put a fire pit in our backyard. Dillon researched and researched about the best way to put one in. We thought about buying a pre-fab one to put on the porch, but it looked like a big fire hazard so we decided not to go that way. Handy dandy Dillon decided he could build one, so he did! It only took him about an afternoon to get it done and we've already enjoyed 3 fires this week! I am a little terrified that we'll set the woods on fire around us but I make Dillon spray it down with water every time we're done. Ha!
The past few weeks have been pretty nice. October is the best month in our house with the leaves changing all around us. It is so beautiful so I'm glad that we're getting outside to enjoy it.
Last weekend while Dillon was putting in the fire pit, I was laid up with a terrible migraine. It was a real weekend ruin-er especially since last Sunday was one of the prettiest days of the year. I'll be going to the doctor soon to see if I can get some medication for it, but so far I've been using essential oils to see if that helps. Luke's also had some kind of weird rash with welts that keep popping up all over his body and disappearing as fast as they show up. We had an appointment with an allergist this weekend. We didn't do allergy testing, yet. We're trying to use allergy medication for awhile to see if that helps. Our weeks have been filled with doctors appointments so that's not much fun.
Yesterday, we celebrated the Cregger's new baby Silas with a little baby shower. We took the camera, but forgot to take pictures. It's hard to do when you're wrangling kids and catching up with folks you haven't seen in awhile! :) We're so excited for them and can't wait to meet him in a few weeks time!
Dillon and mine's 9th anniversary is coming up in a week or so and hopefully we'll get out to have dinner together. I think we have some pumpkin picking coming up on the calendar and Luke is VERY excited for that. Then Halloween is right around the corner, followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas. What a fun time of year!
