Happy Halloween 🎃

Ivy got sick of waiting for me to decorate for Halloween, so she got in my Halloween bin and did this with Meg. I thought it was clever and just the right amount of spooky! 🕷

Meg and her friend Cali were robbers this year.

Pictures of my elementary kids at the parade… Where’s Will you ask?  Oh he’s at home AGAIN this year.  He HATES dressing up and hates the parade, so he stays home and then checks in when it’s over.

Meg would not look at me when I was screaming her name. She pretended she couldn’t hear me, but something tells me that she could hear me just fine.

I volunteered to help with Meg’s class party… Vampire donuts with glow in the dark teeth for the win!

Meg tried eating her donut with the vampire teeth. That didn’t work so well 😂

Look at all these cute Halloween snacks we made.  Nailed it!

We ended up with a lot of pumpkins from the seed we planted.  One of the 3 seeds grew into a huge pumpkin plant and grew 6 pumpkins!!  Combine those with the ones from our pumpkin patch activity and we were surrounded by them! We did a quick pumpkin carving before trick-or-treating thanks to Mike! 
Ivy carved cheeks on her pumpkin 😊

Pack’s Pumpkin Patch

I love my current ward calling as activity day leader.  It’s my favorite. 😍
We have 16 girls and we usually get all of them to the activities.  Its crazy fun! 
Our most recent activity was to the pumpkin patch.

Sweet Morgan came to help drive the girls and be with us!  I sure love having her around so much this year.  I don’t want her to leave for college next year. 😭

Conference Weekend

Our traditional breakfast used to be pull-aparts, but now we have a new gluten free tradition.  I have to say, I could get used to this!

So we can remember that time Meg stepped into a big swarm of bees and Mike yelled at her to run and then turned and ran the opposite way.  Don’t worry, after seeing Meg was running, crying and all alone, Miles ran through the swarm to rescue Meg.  Thank heavens for big brothers!!

We crossed the creek and met up with Miles and Meg up the path once we were all safely away from the bees.  🐝 😳  Meg was ready to turn around and go home after that.  😂

Congrats Morgan!

The surprise and utter confusion one faces when they get an acceptance box to a college before even applying.  Congrats Morgan!!

Miles - the teenager!

I don’t really understand teenage boys at all.  While we were playing games at Grandma’s house, some of us old ladies started talking about arthritis.  We were examining each other’s hands when Miles says, “that’s nothing, look at this”…. He then shows us a finger he jammed at basketball months ago that is now deformed…. He NEVER thought to tell me about this before now. 🙄. I guess he wants his finger to be like that forever because it’s now all healed and permanently like that.

He also thought it was a good idea to stand on a toy Jeep with a rope and have his friend pull him  from his truck.  How’d that go for you Miles??

Ouch!  Let’s work on making better decisions in the future, okay son?
