Eight favorite Restaurants
1. Cafe Rio

7. Costco Snack Bar (Mmm, the pizza. Mmmm, the salads.)
8. Panda Express (when I am pregnant, I always seem to crave Chow Mein.)

Eight things I did yesterday

Eight things I love about fall
1. The colors
2. The kids playing in ALLLLLLL of our leaves
3. The cooler weather
4. No lawn mowing!
5. Cute kids' clothes. Sweaters, jeans, fleece, rain boots, and the like.
6. Driving in the canyon to see the pretty leaves
7. The thrill of rain or snow. (It's still thrilling in the fall. Much less so by March.)
8. All of the fun Fall activities the kids do for school. The cornmaze, dressing up for Halloween, the Fall Carnival...

Eight things I look forward to (I am in an odd state lately, where I am trying to not "look forward" as much, and sort of enjoy the moment...so this is tricky.)
1. A family trip next summer. Probably Disneyland.
2. The kids at Christmas, that's always fun.
3. Going to Costco. I always love Costco.
4. Taking the kids to BYU and showing them around. The littlest 2 have not been yet.
5. BYU game days
6. Dressing the kids on Sundays. I love the chance to get them all dressed up.
7. My fruit trees being mature enough to bear more fruit.
8. Funny things the kids say. (I totally am always looking for the next funny thing. In fact, McKay recently told me, "Our conversation is over." Well, ok then.)

Eight things on my wish list
1. More speech therapy and OT for McKay and OT for Michael
2. Either a house with bigger bedrooms or the basement finished
3. A Canon 40D and the 70-200mm telephoto lens and probably a macro too. (Yes, this is a BIG wish.)

5. New kitchen cabinets and countertop
6. New presidential candidates
7. More patience
8. A maid!
