Back up and Running

Hi! I know we haven't had anything for a while. (The computer has been down.) So the good news is we have it back up and running!

The quick update: Halloween was a great success. The kids loved it. The Monday before we carved our pumpkins. (We went to the patch on Saturday afternoon and the kids had a great time picking out their pumpkins.) On Halloween, we went trick-or-treating at Daddy's work. It was fun to go and see where he worked and let him show off the kids to all his co-workers.

When we got back we hurried and stuffed our huge spider garbage bags full of leaves for the ward trunk-or-treat. They had chili for dinner and then the trunk-or treat after. We put the huge spider coming out of our trunk with orange lights. It was pretty cool. :)

What did the kids end up being for Halloween? Well, Adam chose to be Flash again. He had a Darth Vader costume we borrowed from Chris, but when it came time to wear it...NO GO. He only wanted to be Flash. So we let him...not worth the fight and hassle. Ari was the little cow during the day. (She LOVED the cow costume, especially the tail.) Then that evening she was Princess Leia. She loved the wig with the buns, she called them her ears.

After the trunk-or-treat, we went and saw Grandma and Grandpa Smoot. The kids played for a bit and we took some pictures. Then we went home to bed.

Saturday morning (Nov. 1st) we went up to the Morgan's. The men all helped Chris and Jen move to their new apartment, and the kiddos played. We had pumkin pancakes, Yummy! We also attempted pictures of all the grandkids. Didn't work too well, but we have pictures of them in their costumes in the same area. ;) (With kids what more can you ask for?)

All-in all we had a GREAT Halloween. The kids got tons of candy. They still talk about Halloween and are ready for it to come again. :) Look for pictures, they will be coming...I just have to get them off the camera.

***No promises of time, we're hoping for a baby real soon! ;) ***
