Corny

This weekend we were pretty busy. Friday morning Daniel had an appointment with the Allergist. They did a lung function test and it looks like Daniel doesn't have any obstructions due to asthma, yet. Unfortunately, this time we had to get blood work done. He was quite cooperative even though it took them two sticks to get some. We should find out the results by the end of this week, but it still looks like he hasn't outgrown anymore allergies, yet. The next one should be milk, but it is taking longer than expected.

Saturday Matthew had to get some blood drawn as well. That was not fun, but he is getting better. It had to be a fasting one so Aaron had to take him first thing in the morning before breakfast. This time it only took three people to get some blood--two people to hold him and one to draw the blood. It is just a maintenance check to make sure everything is normal. We aren't expecting any surprises there. After that Matthew and Josh had soccer at the same time so Aaron and I divided to conquer. Aaron took Matthew along with Daniel to Matthew's special needs soccer clinic and I took Sarah and Josh to Josh's soccer game and soccer pictures. At the soccer clinic they paired Matthew up with a helper and went through a variety of stations to learn soccer skills. He seemed to have fun. Josh's game was pretty much the same old thing.

After soccer we went down to Thanksgiving Point to try out the corn maze to celebrate Daniel's birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Terry. We had a lot of fun doing a lot of the activities in the courtyard and then trying our hand in the corn maze. We even went on a hay ride around the courtyard which the kids liked. We made sure we were prepared for this corn maze better than last time which was two years ago. Josh had been potty trained for 6 months so we thought we were safe. We were really wrong when Josh went to the top of the slide and never came down. When someone went and found him it was one of the biggest poopy accidents I have ever seen. Aaron was the nicest guy and took Josh into the port-o-potty while I ran to get the wipes out of the car. Much to my horror we had the wipes package, but it only had two wipes in it. I took it to Aaron in the very hot and very smelly potty to see what he could do with it. Unfortunately, the underwear was not salvageable. We had to toss Scooby-Doo into the depths of the potty below. I didn't have any spares so Josh had to go commando until we could get home. It took over 15 minutes to clean him up using every spare millimeter of the two wipes Aaron had. We are really glad nothing like that happened this time.

After the maze we went to G & G's house for spaghetti and vegan cake. Daniel got to blow out his candles on his orange bat cake--that's what he's going to be for Halloween so he is pretty excited about bats right now. Then he opened presents.

On the way home we got to stop and see Aaron's sister for a few minutes because she was up visiting Utah County. It was nice to see her and her family for a bit and to show off Sarah. By the time we got home everyone was asleep except for Matthew and me. Since we had such a long and busy day it didn't take long to get everyone to bed and asleep :).
