I am giving myself 15 minutes to type this post up, let's see how I do and if it makes sense at the end!
It's Halloween today, and I am set to be induced for baby Caroline tomorrow so in my mad dash yesterday to make sure everything was ready and good to go for the exciting weekend ahead I downloaded the meager October pictures from my camera.
Here is what I came up with....
A little joy school class picture.
Love these kids, love that K is getting to be involved in it this year.
Love the bonding time it brings me and her when it's our turn to teach.
The two little guys on each end moved away a few weeks ago so we wanted to hurry and snap a picture of the original group.
Now we have two more little additions in their place and we will have to grab a picture of them as well before years end.
Pinewood Derby!
He was so excited for this event.
Him and Eric worked so hard on that car devoting lots of hours out in the garage making it look perfect and giving it just enough weight to have a chance at winning!
Their dedication payed off, Lance's car came in second and he won "best detail" award.
Truth be told he was a little disappointed he didn't take first.
That's his father coming out in him, they both have a fierce competitive drive in them.
A preview of Halloween costumes this year.
The boys had a Halloween piano recital last Friday followed by a carnival up at Utah State were they take lessons.
Harry Potter did a great job.
As did our firefighter.....
Our little Korean princess had a Halloween dance recital.
Which was about the cutest thing ever.
Gosh I love having a girl to experience the things I experienced as a child with.
And my favorite part was watching my boys watch their sister.
They both had this amazed little smirk on their face the whole time she was performing.
Dance recitals are foreign to them and the looks they had were something along the lines of I can't believe I am sitting here watching a bunch of little girls dance. But at the same time the pride on their faces for little K was enough to melt my heart.
She came running over to them at the end and I thought my heart might burst watching them pat her head, give her loves and say "wow K that was really good."
Siblings are the best, especially when they show their love for each other.
We also had our ward Fall Festival last weekend.
Chili cook off, and lots of carnival games for the kids.
I really didn't get any pictures but this last one I snapped as we got home and the kids were going to get in the shower.
They had face painting you see.
And when Luke was asked what he would like on his face instead of choosing something from her list like the other kids he dived into a very long detailed description of wanting an oxygen mask over his mouth like fire fighters have.
"You know it's a mask that goes over your mouth that firefighters breathe into and then they can be safe and fight the fires and not die in them."
Watching this sweet lady in my ward look mildly alarmed and then proceed to do her best to please my six year old was the highlight of my evening.
Gosh I love that little thinker of mine.
Which brings us up to date with this current Monday FHE, carving pumpkins.
We have Harry Potter, a cat, and Hello Kitty, and George grabbed himself a pumpkin as well.
Much to Luke and K's dismay we did not carve it though:)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
