Spence {JaM}

Have I mentioned how much Jordan LOVES grad school?  I ask him all the time what his favorite thing about it is, and he always says "Everything!"  And thats good since it requires SO much of his time!  I'm happy with the routine that we have going though.  We usually drop him off on campus between 6:30-7:30am and pick him up for dinner around 6:00.  He'll stay home for a couple hours, then heads back to campus till 11pm-1am.  That's our routine Mon-Sat.  And it seems to be working especially since he ACED all three of his test this week!!

Last night the PT classes had a BBQ & families were invited.  I finally got to meet some other wives from his PT class.  There are a handful of us with kids, and tonight some of us are heading to dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant in Chandler.  I really miss living close to family, but it has really motivated me to make some good friends and I'm excited for that.  I go walking most mornings with a girl who lives down the street, and I started a meal swap with another girl in the ward. We just finished our first week of the meal swap, and it's awesome!  I make dinner Monday and Wednesday and take 1/2 to them, and she makes dinner Tuesdays and Thursdays and drops 1/2 off to us.  I usually have a hard time getting back in the swing of cooking after summer sales, so this has been a good motivator for me :)  

I've been trying to decide on Halloween costumes for the kids this year.  I want to do something simple, and something Disney related.  Calin told me he wanted to be Hook, but he's a little too fancy for me (ruffled shirt, coat, hat, etc)  so he finally settled for Jake.

And I would love to have Capri be a princess, but I figured those would be more fun when she's older (and has hair) so now I'm thinking about Minnie. 

Capri looks so upset in this picture, but she's sitting with me right now looking at the picture and I couldn't resist taking a video of her reaction

We'll see if I ever get around to making them though, I'll probably settle for some Costco costumes (have you see those?  They are SO dang cute!  I wish Capri would just fit into those princess ones already!!!)
