When it rains it pours

Christopher now has glasses. Here he is happy to wear them.
Not so happy. They are a little big, but the smallest pair on the website I got them from. We knew he needed glasses because he was staring cross-eyed at things and couldn't move away from the TV because he couldn't see. He was happy that he could sit on the couch with us and see the TV.

I broke my left ring finger playing flag football. I was sacking the quarterback, but we still lost the game. The season is over now. I had this cast for a week. Christopher wanted his hand wrapped too.


Now I have this splint. I'm not sure if I'll be ok'd to take it off at my appointment next week. They'll do x-rays to determine that. Like my bruising? Pooling blood apparently.



My middle finger is pretty bruised too, even though it doesn't hurt. I haven't worn my wedding ring in 3 weeks. The doctor made a joke about Rob needing to get me a better ring for Christmas.

BYU football

Rob got us tickets to the last home game of the year. He knows a football player's (who doesn't even play) roommate and got tickets for free. When we picked them up from the special tent, someone asked us if we wanted to tour a box. We said yes and this is the view we got. Aparently these boxes are for sale...only $100,000.
Christopher loves his new BYU shirt from Grandpa Stephenson

Even though it was a great day (almost 60!), Christopher wouldn't take his hat off because it was his helmet. We had great seats, 9th row on the 20 yard line. It was fun. We missed the other games and are definately getting all-sports passes next year.

Halloween

At a family party. Rob was a crazy 60s guy. I was a 50s girl. Christopher was Thomas the tank engine.
Christopher helped Daddy carve a pumpkin.

Christopher's candy.



We went trick-or-treating at Helaman Halls. One girl said she ran out of candy but would do face painting. Christopher asked for a train. (This is 4 hrs later.)


Rob had a work Halloween party. Christopher made a friend (he was dressed as a baseball player) and joined a group for the competitions (I was breaking my finger at an intramural flag football game at the time-more on that next week). Christopher's group had him participate in the costume competition and he won. Everyone cheered "Thomas! Thomas!" Christopher loved it.
