Halloween

We had a very busy day. From the school parade first thing this morning to class parties and then to a full night of trick or treating. It was so nice to be able to walk around and not freeze. Even though we did get rained on a little bit it was still pretty nice. The kids have their candy dumped out on the floor and are sorting through it and trading. They are all on a major sugar high right now. Hopefully they will crash soon because I need some sleep!

Pumkin Carving

Since Halloween is almost here and we are running out of time I decided that Monday night we would carve pumpkins for FHE. The night started out really fun. We were singing and laughing and having a great time. It was all down hill from there. Each of the kids found a pattern they wanted to use on the internet. Devin chose a very complicated Yoda pattern, Becca the word Twilight and Megan found a cute spider. What ever happened to triangle eyes a nose and a mouth with a couple of teeth? After 4 hours of quality family time I had three very frustrated cranky kids and I was about ready to have a nervous breakdown. I am very thankful that it will be a whole year before we get to do this again!!

Crazy Hair Day part 2

Both Megan and Devin took their pony tails out about an hour after they got to school. So much for all of my hard work!! :)

Crazy Hair Day

Today is crazy hair day at the Elementary school. Devin and Megan had fun deciding how they wanted their hair to be. It's not easy to figure out what to do with really short hair. After having 10 little pony tails on his head Devin is very happy that he is not a girl!!

Twilight Anonymous

Shanna, LeeAnn and Lori sure outdid themselves for our Twilight party this year!! We played lots of games, ate yummy food, watched very brave people try to eat powdered donuts with fangs on, watched the trailer for the movie over and over and had a great time! It was my lucky night. I won two prizes. A keychain with the Cullens on it and Renesmee Carly Cullens (I'm so glad I know her full name now and can even almost pronounce it Shanna!) baby bottle filled with blood (red candy). Thanks for the fun time!!

Megan's VIP

Megan is the VIP in her class this week. We had fun making her poster while we were watching conference yesterday. One of the pictures we put on was of after her surgery. It brings back some bad memories, but it is really gnarly looking!! I can't believe how long her scar used to be. It looks much better now. I am very grateful the Megan is my daughter. She is always a VIP in our family!!

So You Think You Can Dance

Becca was so excited to be able to go to see the dancers from SYTYCD perform. I was a cheapskate and didn't want to pay for two tickets so a big thank-you to Shanna for being willing to let Becca tag along!!
