All that said, we ended up scrapping this plan because Daddy promised a certain little girl named Jennifer that since he won't be off work for her birthday, we'd go get frozen yogurt on his day off. That day fell today. So after dinner, we loaded up the car and took everyone to Menchie's. We'd never been there before, but we loved it! They were extremely friendly, welcoming, and SUPER clean!
We sampled several flavors, filled our cups, added toppings, had them weighed, and paid. They gave each of the kids a toy and a coloring page. They also had a chalkboard the kids could color on. We were the only customers at first so the cashier helped us move tables so we could all sit together and helped us get settled. Except for Chance's fussiness (because it was past his bed time), we had a really great time and we will definitely be going back!

We also started a countdown chain. We started with the youngest (besides Chance) and each night a different child cuts a link off the chain and tells me something they want to thank God for. I'll write that thing, their name, and the date and hang it on a poster board. They look forward to it all day long!

(It only goes until November 22
because that's when we leave for our trip.)
Thank you, God, for . . .
