Halloween


W's grandfather passed away yesterday and he left this morning for the funeral (he will be back Tuesday night and we leave Wednesday morning for Disney!) so all the traditional Halloween doings were left up to me. T had her party from 10:30 till noon, we came home so I could eat lunch and wash the serving bowls. We reloaded and left for G's party at 1:15. Came home, unloaded the van and started spaghetti sauce. W usually does really cool pumpkins, but left up to mom we got stickers, markers, and only E carved. He said it was the boringest pumpkin ever (I think 3 eyes at least makes it interesting).
We left candy on the front porch with a note to take a couple and set off to Trick-or-Treat. We did our cove and then headed to Church for their first Trunk-or-Treat. It was small but fun, hopefully a good start to a new tradition for the Church. The kids weren't worn out yet so we headed around the block and came home with FULL bags. But while we were out someone stole all the candy and smashed E's pumpkin : ( Well off to go check candy!

Talking on the Phone

This is T talking to her friend Claire. Don't try too hard to understand what she is saying- most of it is nonsense.

Really I do not talk on the phone THAT much!

Camping (Last Weekend)





W and the kids went camping last weekend with the scouts. On Saturday they had some competitions for the older kids. G got to be on the sibling team and E was on one of the scout teams (neither one won). T was to little to compete so she got her face painted, played soccer and hula hoop, and picked up rocks. She had so much fun she even took a nap!
This weekend is fall break for the kids. I am getting school work done for most of the weekend, but we plan to go to the pumpkin patch on Monday. Next weekend we are all headed to Tunic for Scout Base.
