Halloween

Halloween is a lot of fun with little kids. Kyle was so excited to wear his costume to school, he had a great day. they did Halloween activities the whole time, and ate tons of junk food. While he was at school the girls and I went to a Halloween party at their cousins house, it was a lot of fun they played a lot of fun little games and they got to be with their cousins. When we got home from all of that the twins layed down and had a nap I told the other kids that they could play quietly in Kyles room, it started to get really quiet so I went to check on them and they were sound asleep in Kyles bed I had to take a picture it was pretty cute. They had a hard time waiting until it got dark so we could go trick or treating. WE live in a great Trick or treating neighborhood we had planned on going to a few houses of people that we know but ended up going to a few more then that. Hailey kept begging for just one more. we got home and they had fun opening the door for the trick or treaters. they had a really fun night. Marc and I carried the babies and I didnt give them a bag to put candy in I didnt think that they would really know what was going on so i didnt think that they would care but they did. They would start to cry when the person at the door didnt give them anything, so they each ended up with a candy bar in each hand, which they would not let go of so it became quite the melted mess by the time we got home.

Missing Shoe

so this morning I had all the kids ready and we went to the bus stop, after Kyle got out of the van I looked back and katie didnt have a shoe on so I started looking for it I really thought she had it on when we got in the car. I even got out and looked underneath the van I couldnt find it. When we got home I had Hailey look for it, it was one of those mornings where I had a million things to do, but Hailey couldnt find it so I searched everywhere, even though I really didnt have time to. On the way to my visiting teaching apointment we even drove by the bus stop again to see if it was on the ground, we never did find it all morning. When we picked up kyle the first thing he said was guess what happened on the bus today. He went on to tell me that someone had lost their shoe and that it looked just like the babies shoe and that it looked way to small to fit on someone that went to school. Anyway we have no idea how it got on the bus, kyles pretty sure that katie somehow threw it on, but seeing that she was across the street in the van Im not sure thats what happened.

carving pumpkins

Tonigt we carved our pumpkins. Kyle and Hailey each got their own and they came up with their own faces that they wanted, they had a lot of fun. Then we went outside and put candles in them, they looked pretty good.

Pre Halloween

Friday night was our ward Halloween party, the kids were excited to get all dressed up, we had a good time they had a bunch of games for the kids. the one picture is of Kyle doing the arm wrestling game with his friends from primary.

Sunday was our Primary Program, the kids did really well. we had been working on their parts all week and the pretty much had them memorized and they new the songs really well. Kyle got a little silly sitting up on the stand with all of his friends, we were a little concerned that by the end of it he wouldnt be wearing anything. first we noticed that he lost his sweater then later we looked up and his tie was missing, luckily the meeting was about over by then so he kept everything else on. But they did a really good job it was fun watching them and Nicole and Katie got really excited whenever they saw them up there.

Inspiration

I have to teach the lesson on Sunday, so I was on the computer reading the talk by Pres. Eyring. Anna came down and thought that I could use a break so she, well you know. Well I'll tell you what she did, just in case you don't know. She typed in the blog addresses for Rachel's and Leah's blog. So I was inspired to do a little blogging myself. (is blogging really a verb?) Anna helped me by taking my picture and signing on. So this is my first blog ; -) . the smiley face is for Debie.

Garret this is for you. I think it is a guy thing.

leaves

One of the kids favorite things about the fall is playing in the leaves. We realized that our trees dont have very many leaves so we decided to go to Grandma and Grandpa Murdocks house and play in the leaves there. So Saturday night after dinner we went over there for some fun in the leaves. It ended up that most of the cousins were there to, it was lots of fun. the kids had a great time. It was Nicole and Katies first time playing in the leaves we werent sure how they would like it but they got right in the middle of all the fun, and they thought it was so funny watching the big kids jump in the pile.

Haileys birthday

Hailey turned 4 today. I think that she had a fun birthday. She woke up at three in the morning all excited and said she couldnt sleep, I put her back to bed and luckily she did fall back to sleep. When she got up the first thing she did was open presents, she got some fun disney princess things. She played with them all morning. We went to conference and got home and had spagetti for dinner thats what she chose for her birthday dinner then we had all of Marcs family over for cake and ice cream. She had a great time with all of her cousins. It was a fun birthday.
