Halloween

We had fun this Halloween. We had a Halloween party at the church, then on Thursday we had a family party. Then by the time Halloween was actually here we'd already eaten plenty of candy but still took Asher out trick or treating. There were a few houses where the people scared Asher. Some people dressed up as Gorillas or skeletons or something. Then he'd wait for someone to ring the doorbell and if it looked safe he'd go up and get candy, if not he'd just start moving on to the next house.

Asher has been trying to do everything "By Self" lately. It's been nice, but everything he can do I can do faster! But I'm hoping that by the time the babies are here I won't have to do ANYTHING for him. Just kidding, but it has been nice to just stand back and watch him grow up. He's just gotten so old it seems. The other night we had a family home evening lesson on keeping the sabbath day holy. Sunday mornings he wants to go outside and play at the park and I told him that on days that we have church he can't play at the park. Also with Halloween stuff everywhere he's been having "Scary dreams" so we told him that if he ever gets scared Mommy and Daddy will keep him safe and he can also pray to Heavenly Father and he'll keep him safe too. So the other morning at like 5 in the morning Asher woke up after a scary dream and I told him that we were there and that he can pray too. Then he goes. "Yeah! And I can't play at the park anymore too." Oh well, hopefully as he grows up we'll work the kinks out!

My pregnancy is still going good. After almost the whole day at the hospital I don't have a blood clot in my leg. (I already knew I didn't, of course) My right foot swells up really fast and my left doesn't nearly as much. But it's been this way since I injured my foot about 10 years ago. But now that I have a special high risk pregnancy doctor everything is so much more serious. I guess it's good to have one doctor that thinks everything's great and not to worry and then another to tell me I can't do anything and everything is potentially dangerous for me and the baby. Speaking of which. She told me not to wash hair, because I shouldn't be bending over. So does anyone know of a plumber that can raise my shampoo bowl. I should get it done soon!
