Steve and Piper were both home on Thursday. I took both of them to the doctor. Piper seems to be doing better. She just had a little red in the ears he said. But Steve is still not feeling well. They have told him he needs his sinuses cleaned out for a 50% chance of not getting as many sinus infections. But 50% chance that it MIGHT not give him as many sinus infections - that to me isn't good enough odds for what they want to do to him!!!!
The weekend was good. I stayed home yesterday late morning while Steve went to the store. I hate the grocery. But I really didn't go because our little princess was sleepy and I put her down for a nap. She took and 2 hour nap. I was able to do somethings and that made me feel good. And the grocery shopping got done too!! Then in the early evening we went down to my brothers for a halloween party - it was basically for the little kids. There were a bunch of them running around. It was fun to see Piper around all those people. It was loud there and lots of people and little kids she had never met before. This one little boy kept hugging her. Finally by the end of the night when he would come up to her she would put her arms straight out and fend him off. Its was a good time and we left about 7:30 because I was tired and I wanted to get Piper to bed at a pretty decent time.
Today we went out to the mall. Macy's was having a sale (supposedly) We need winter clothes for Piper. I didn't find anything I liked. So we checked out Penny's - there wasn't much there either. I am looking for cheap clothes for some reason. Now that she is eating table foods. She trashes her clothes. A lot of her clothes are really getting stained. I don't want to pay so much for clothes then they get stained and I can't get the stains out. So, with that I took a trip to Goodwill. The one that is down at Covington Plaza. Well, I was really disappointed. I have only been in a Goodwill store twice before so I am not a seasoned Goodwill shopper. They didn't have many kids clothes at all. So within 20 minutes I was out of there! I headed over to Once Upon a Child. I was in there the other day WITH Piper and needless to say I couldn't shop so I went back out today. I got her some jeans, kahki and 3 shirts for $33.00. It wasn't bad. One shirt still had the tag on it. I told Steve I must be cheap because I was expecting garage sale prices and these were alittle more expensive from that. But still got some nice things without stains cheaper than new. I got home Piper was up from her nap and we went outside for alittle while.

Also, something Steve and I have decided to do is every week try a new receipe. Steve found what looks like a good one in my Better Homes and Garden magazine. Its a turkey tenderloin one.
