Temple Trip
Our primary planned a temple trip for the children. They had a tour of the LA temple's newly remodeled visitor's center and then the sister missionaries gave them a tour of the temple grounds. What a neat experience for the children!
Jog A Thon
A's school has an annual jog-a-thon as a fundraiser for the school.
A did not get to participate, because she had just gotten her cast put on her foot. She was a good sport and watched all her classmates run while she cheered them on.

Halloween
We had an exciting Halloween!
Our ward had a fun carnival/trunk or treat Halloween party the weekend before Halloween. There was also a chili contest and each of the auxillaries had a booth where you could sample the chili that they had made. For the kids there was a jump house, face painting, games and a haunted house.
On Halloween night, we took A trick or treating to the mall with some friends, and then we met up after that with some other friends and went trick or treating around the neighborhood for a little bit. It was a bit cold but A had a great time!

Cast
A was jumping on the trampoline at a friend's house and somehow hurt her foot.
We took her home and the next morning she said she couldn't walk on her foot and that it really hurt, so we took her in to the doctor for x-rays. The x-rays did not show any sign of a break, so the doctor said it was probably a sprain and we took her home for it to heal. Four weeks went by and she was still favoring her foot and not walking on it correctly, so we called the doctor back and they referred us to an orthopedic surgeion. We took her in again for more x-rays and the orthopedic surgeon did not see any sign of a break, but diagnosed that she must have fractured her growth plate and so she put a cast on A's foot for three weeks. A got to pick out the color for her cast which was multi-colored.
At school she was not able to participate in PE, but she enjoyed being able to pick some toys and a friend to take her to the nurse's office where she played while her classmates went to PE. She was told not to run or climb with her cast on, but that lasted for about a day and we had to continually remind her to just walk.
