Candy Over-load!

Megan has a drawer full of candy. After adding her Halloween loot, her drawer is almost full. She has been working on it for some time. Megan and Lindsey used Lindsey's candy to turn themselves into candy fairies. They were already sweet, but now they are irresistible.

Halloween Feast

Halloween this year was on Sunday. We trick or treated the night before and decided to create a spooky meal for the actually day. Megan made Halloween cocktail bowls and mouths, Lindsey made mummies, I made chicken fingers and brains, and everyone helped make home-made root beer. Tyson loved blowing on the root beer and making the dry ice smoke. It was a fun and festive meal that we will try to make tradition!

Trick or Treat

We took advantage of all the candy collecting festivities. Bruce took Lindsey to the care center on Friday evening to trick or treat (Tyse was at U-fit, Kyle at his football pep-rally and Meg and I were at the U of U vs BYU volleyball game - otherwise we would have all gone), I took Lindsey and Tyson to the Mall to Trick or Treat on Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening Bruce took Lindsey and Kyle and Meg took off with their friends. Tyse and I stayed home and sat on the porch with BonnieJean and watched all the trick or treaters come to the house and handed out candy. Afterwards we went to Tolks for donuts and rootbeer and the kids had their annual sort and trade extravaganza. The kids got loads of candy. Lindsey is planning on taking some of hers to a local dentist who gives the kids $1 pound to bring in their candy. She is going to use the money to buy a pet fish. Tyson woke up this morning and went straight for the candy bowl and the front door. He was ready for more!

Lindsey's Class

I went and helped with Lindsey's class Halloween Party. After the party, I took this picture of her class! Lindsey is the spooky, green faced witch on the front row.

Wolf Creek

The kids had Friday off of school, so we took off to spend an overnighter at Wolfcreek. Davis', Coxs and Tolks came along. We had a great time playing games, enjoying the recreation center, and having a wonderful Halloween brunch!

Celebration!

Today Lindsey earned her trip to Frogurt for sleeping in her own bed for 7 nights! Hallelujah! Hopefully it sticks, and I will have the floor on the side of my bed back.

First Snowfall of the Season

Tyse woke up early this morning. When I went into lay with him, he was excited about the window - it was especially bright. He took me over and marveled at the snow. We went and touched it and by 7:00 we were decked out in all our snow gear with the flood lights to show us the way, playing in the snow. We played for an hour and a half and then with much protesting, I sent Lindsey to school and made Tyse go to school as well. He was almost and hour late, but he was so excited to be in the snow, I just let it go. I think we probably got around 10 inches. It was beautiful to see the world covered in white and the kids loved the novelty of it all. I just quiver at the thought of it getting cold and being stuck in the house. But after this morning, I think we may get a lot of time outside when the ground is white!
