Pumpkin Time and the Zoo!

I love the fall. I love the Snohomish valley 5 minutes away. I love the pumpkin patches that are there and I love picking out my pumpkins with my family. Unfortunately this year Jay lost his wedding ring in the feed corn kid play area. We have pictures with and without the ring on his finger from the corn area so we know it is there. Jay borrowed a metal detector and tried with no luck to find it. Hopefully the farmers will find it as they transfer the corn to the animals. We still had a blast despite this and the rainfall comes with living in the green Northwest. What also comes with the rain and new preschool classes is the sniffles. Jay had it earlier this week now I have it. I think however that a stuffy nose is better than a sore throat so I am pushing through this. I started to tutor Spanish with a teenager in our ward in exchange for babysitting. It is working out so nice. We had a stake temple night that started early and Mom and I got to go while my new baby sitter watch James until Jay got home from work. Mom and I went out to the Cheesecake factory after the session and went crazy with the appetizers. So fun and caloriffic!!!! I have also started a new step aerobic hour long crazy class on Friday's the first time it was like the instructor was speaking a different language but after a month I am getting it and I am not so sore. I work out at the Y for a half hour everyday but my goal is to bump that up to an hour and my class is slowly getting me into the habit. I finished Mocking Jay and loved it and was horrified by it. Can't wait to see how they do the movie. I also am so excited for the next Harry Potter movie! The new trailer made we weep with excitement. We also made it to the Woodland Park Zoo with my friend from BYU who was in town. Such a blast!
