Halloween

I was thrilled when Whitney & Tucker decided to be minions again.  That meant no sewing costumes so I let Tommy pick out whatever store bought one he could find.  He's wanted to be a ninja for a couple of years now so he was pretty excited to finally be one.

 I made a few fun meals to get in the Halloween spirit.

 I made a creepy memory game for the kids to play at their Halloween party.  It was the kids' favorite game in both the 1st & 2nd grade class.

 The kids love PJ masks right now so Whitney made an Owlette pumpkin and we carved out an easy hand drawn one.

 We had my mom & Mark over to make monster pizzas right before trick or treating.

 The kids love houses that have their porch decorated and so do I!

 This house went all out.  Only Tommy would dare enter their yard at first and when he told Whitney and Tommy his awesome treat, then they lost their fears real quick so they could go get a good candy!

 The kids love sorting their candies every year and starting the trade process!

October Happenings

We finished up football in some cold weather!  Tommy was always so intense with his fierce face on or his tongue sticking out!  I LOVED watching him play!

 I'm not one to take many selfies, but I liked the lighting in the car! ;)

 Whitney's teacher posts pictures of their classroom happenings all day long.  It's fun to see what they are up to once in awhile.

 Whitney had her show and tell on her daddy/daughter day.  She is 100% a daddy's girl.

 I think it's cute that she has to sleep with a sock on her hand and a baby mobile projector.  She wants to be so grown up, but is still so little!

 The first week of October it snowed!  It snowed so much that it broke branches all over town & knocked down power lines.  It took quite a few days to recover.

 Our kids were pretty excited about it.  They ran outside first thing and made snowmen inside.

 They were dying to go out so I dug out all the snow clothes and they played in the snow for hours.

 Vic pulled out the 4wheeler and attracted a bunch of neighbor kids!

 We made festive snowflake & snowmen pancakes for dinner!

 One of Vic's nieces, Izzy, is going to BYU-I so we got to paint with her.

 Tucker found this scarf and loves wearing it.  He ran around the house all day acting like a cheetah for 2 weeks!  This kid cracks me up!

 Whitney's class had a school play in their costumes.  Between class parties, Halloween duty, & this, it was a busy day!

Fall Cabin Visit

I LOVE the fall and we don't usually get up to the cabin in the fall because it's too cold to swim, but this year we were so excited to take up our new 4wheelers and go on runs between games.

We went out to go for a walk and this deer was right in our pathway!

 It even snowed a skiff on Sunday morning. Snow in October!
