This is not a post on my new best friend like I promised. Turns out I need help with that post, it has some technical difficulties I am not so great with. However Eric....he will be great with it. I just need him around to help me is all. But that's okay cause I only have about ten posts in the works right now. I am just a little behind, I always have so many ideas to post only problem is I never have the time to post them. You too? That can't just be a me problem! Tell me it's an us problem!
Here is a few October days for you!
General conference....yes.....yes I know it was weeks ago. I told you I was behind. But I had to show this picture cause it makes me smile lots. We printed up a packet for the boys to work on while they..... ahem....."listened". One of the projects was draw a picture of the general authorities as they spoke. President Eyring up there with the glasses has never looked so good! Not to mention the gray balding hair Lance gave him......kids don't sugar coat things. I hate to see how I would be represented, pretty sure he would draw a picture of these last five baby pounds I am still trying to lose!
For the longest time I can't remember Utah having a true Fall. We always go straight from hotter than hot to snow all over the ground. But the last few weeks have been glorious here. Cool and crisp in the mornings, and beautiful in the afternoons. Light jackets, scarves and boots weather indeed. I am sure it is ending soon, in fact I know it is according to the weather report. But we sure have enjoyed it while it lasted. Nothing worse than having to wear a coat over your Halloween costume as a kid. I remember one year having my dad drive us around trick or treating in the snow it was so bad. Come on hold out a few more days Utah!
We are still frequent customers of McDonald's......I wonder if and when that will ever change.
With the way I love their cokes.
And the way the boys love their happy meal toys.
I have a feeling we will be friends for a really long time.....
I was kinda worried about being the Art appreciation volunteer in Lance's class seeing as how I have no artistic bone in my body. But the first lesson was so darn fun, his class is great. And when you hear "Lance your mom is awesome", more than a few times....you kinda start thinking maybe you are pretty awesome at least in the eyes of six year olds. Heck I'll take it! Boost my ego however I can get it.
My shadow, man I love our mornings together.
Loubird and his entourage aka....."mickey" blanket, on the way to school.
I cringe at the sight of that blanket, the way he hauls that thing everywhere.
It's a major germ trap, even straight from the washing machine I don't trust that it.
I hold it like you would a dead mouse by the tail......sorry is that gross?
I think that was gross.
Just a cute little scene out my front window one afternoon.
With Halloween right around the corner we have had one too many excuses to have treats laying around. Those pink boxes held about a dozen cupcakes. The best one being the maple with maple cream cheese frosting......oh it kills me every time.
This right here was dinner a few nights ago.
This is what I like to call a little bribe.
The boys go into a state of depression on the nights Eric teaches late.
It devastates them he won't be around to read them stories in the voice of Doofenshmirtz.
But boys mommy makes you dinners of caramel apples and mummy hot dogs when daddy is not around to roll his eyes at our food of choice.
Who needs Doofenshmirtz when you can eat junk food and call it dinner.
I win at the coolest parent, not daddy!
Which brings us to the Pumpkin Walk a few nights ago.
We were going to go for FHE (Family Home Evening) on Monday night, but then I realized it closed the next day. Monday night in Utah, the day before it closed.....I had a feeling that would be a really bad idea.
Unless we wanted to deal with the masses of people who also thought it would make a great FHE. So I opted for taking the kids in the afternoon and showing the pictures to Eric for FHE.
Same thing right? That's just as fun and a lot less crowded!
Besides that Eric just went crazy over the pictures.
He loves a good hundred pictures of painted pumpkins!
Who wouldn't?
Yup up until a few days ago I was wearing flip flops. I know I know not acceptable for October but it was warm!
A few favorites were the Angry Birds, Candy Land, Winnie the Pooh, and of course Phineas and Ferb......featuring Doofenshmirtz himself.
The colors are pretty amazing right now. Cache valley is gorgeous in the Fall.
See Baby K's bee sting right there on her eye?
Oh so sad, and this is nothing.
The poor thing could not even get her eye open it puffed up so big.
She's doing much better now, thank goodness.
And I leave you with Harry Potter, Lance pulls that look off well!
