The past few months have been a blur! Here are a few highlights:
Steve was willing to help as long as the girls "gutted" the pumpkins, neither of them enjoyed that process.
*Note to self, when it's still 90 degrees in October your pumpkins mold the day after you carve them, therefor don't carve until the 31st.
Ki was excited to carve said pumpkins-until she found started gutting it. Then She had second thoughts.
A few years ago, when I had time-like I said, a few years ago- I started the tradition of making the girl's costumes. This year Ki's request was a parrot. All I have to say is, "all things are possible with felt." I ended up cutting out most of the feathers while on my lunch break at work, otherwise the parrot would have been bald.
El wanted to recycle a costume this year (I was so glad!) She wanted to be a candy corn again. I was so glad that is still fit! I made her a hat this year but it was too hot for it, so we just opted for ribbon in the hair.
With Halloween falling on a Sunday, we had Trunk-or-treat on Saturday night. So I told the girls that they could hand out candy but not door to door trick -or -treat. They were content to just pass it out.
Uncle Caleb came for a visit. He is applying for Dental School and had an interview here at Mid Western. We are secretly voting for him to come here. It would be awesome to have him and Annie in Arizona.
Steve completed another Amazing scratch art picture! He still doesn't claim to be an artist but I think he's an amazing artists. He is already planning the next one. He also got his Driver's License back. That means that he has been seizure free since March-we are ecstatic! He loves driving again! Last weekend he flew to CA to drive back his SUV. Now he gets to help with the car pooling. I know that Nicole is heart broken that she doesn't have to do it all by herself anymore.
We were able to make it to our Ward Camp out in September. We went up in Munds park and it was beautiful! We haven't been camping in a long time. We used to go at least once a month in the summer months. My work schedule doesn't allow that so we've missed out on camping.
El also started Pre-School. It was time for her to hang out with someone besides her dad. She is with him a lot and I wanted her to get used to being with children her age. She loves it!
That about wraps it up!
