Halloween

We had a lot of fun for Halloween. Shaylee was a witch, Emma a pumpkin, and Blake a dog. I found the costumes at a thrift store and I thought I did pretty good. They got the candy and that is all that mattered. We had fun at our ward party and then went trick or treating with our friends Dave and Jenna E.'s family. When we got home we had to hide the candy or little Miss Shaylee would probably have had it eaten by morning. Emma just wanted the first candy she was given and could have cared less about the rest she just wanted to eat that first one. Blake is the one who has to decide which one is worth eating first and to him that decision is a big one.

Pumpkin carving

The kids were so excited this year to carve a pumpkin. Blake was the most excited until he found out he had to stck his hands inside the pumpkin and pull out all that nasty slimy string, he called it. He found it much more enjoyable to watch his sisters get all messy. When we were done we had to go in the bathroom and light the candle to see how it looked. It was perfect of course and awesome as my children would tell you.

Farm life

The kids have fun milking the cow and pretending to rope. Emma was quite the little cowgirl and wanted to get right in on the action, at least look the part.

Grandma, Papa, and Jacob come visit

Grandma, Papa and Jacob came to visit and yes it was cold even in October. We went to a pumpkin patch and they had a big pretend barn playground. It was fun and the kids had a lot of fun playing with Jacob on the slides. I even had to get in on the action and race Jacob down the slide. Of course, I won because I am the champ.
