A Spooky Halloween

Spooky is one of Noah's favorite words right now. It's so cute to hear him say spooky instead of scary:) We had a very low key Halloween this year. I was all excited to make the kids alice in wonderland costumes but then I lost my motivation and we decided to dig out the costume box. Noah was given this cute buzz costume from my sister and he was super excited about it. Presleigh kept changing what she wanted to be but then found her old Minnie Mouse costume and decided on that. I barely took any pictures:(

We started the night over in the Lewis Family's subdivision. The families in that neighborhood set up their chairs around the park and the little ones just walked around the path to get their candy. It was perfect for our little ones because they were able to walk around the park without getting too tired. It was super crowded though so our little ones were having a hard time getting to trick or treat. At one point Presleigh said to me "Mom, getting candy is hard." After the Lewis' we went back to our own subdivision and walked around one of the loops. By then Noah was super tired and cold so Wayne held him most the time. But Presleigh and Mommy were running from house to house. Then we went home had some yummy hot chocolate and a very late dinner. It was a very very fun night.

Yesterday Presleigh asked for some candy and when I told her that it is all gone, she said to me. "I think we need to do some more trick or treating, to get more candy." Yeah, I wish every day could be halloween!!!

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!!!

The other day I spent a lot of time catching up on house work. I cleaned my bedding and then iron it too so that I would have a nice crisp white bed:) After I finished the kiddos were trying to get on my bed to jump on it. I quickly put a stop to it. But then a little while later I caught Noah being sneaky and quietly playing on my bed. I decided to just let it go and ignore him. Then I hear him run out of my room.

N: "Sissy hurry come here"

N "Sissy hurry come here!"

M: "No guys we don't jump on the bed"

P: "Yeah Noah we can only jump on our beds"

M: "No, we don't jump on any beds, we treat the furniture nicely."

P: "But mom! We don't have a trampoline!"

M: "So, that doesn't mean we can jump on furniture"

P: " Well what are we going to jump on?"

M: "The floor"

Then Presleigh jumps up and down a few times, looks at me and says "That's not fun mom."

She was totally cracking me up. Seriously I wish I knew what went on in their little minds:)

Random Pictures

Noah Playing dress up. I think Presleigh helped him put the neck ties on:) A couple weeks ago Wayne volunteered to take the missionaries up the mountain to Cascade, ID. He wasn't going to be back in time to be with the kiddos while I went to work so he came home right before lunch and picked the kiddos up to take them on a little road trip. We had just watched 17 miracles so I made sure to pack up the car with as much winter gear as I could find and I sent them off. But first I took a couple pictures:)

It was a nice little break for me that day. I was able to start working on my Christmas projects and got a ton of things done for the kiddos.

A Visit From the Shepherd Family

A couple weeks ago my sister Julie had fall break from school so her little fam decided to come visit us for a few days. It is always so fun to have them come visit. We love their family so much and Presleigh and Noah can't get enough of them:) They had so much fun with their sweet cousin Laila. Presleigh asked to hold her a ton and Laila was so good to let her most of the time. Laila was so adorable smiling and laughing at Pres and Noah. I think these little ones are gonna be the best of friends as they grow older. And I think that my kiddos are ready for their baby sister to join in the fun:)
