Trick-Or-Treat

Today is Halloween, and my kids had a ball. Well, except for M3 who I don't think really felt well. It is not much fun being sick for a holiday. Anyway, Tuesday we carved pumpkins which is where all the fun began. Wednesday was the school Spooktacular where I got to help make cotton candy for the 1st grade classes from 10am until 2:15 when I finally quit. I think I still have cotton candy sugar stuff in my sinuses. Cozy (and a beautiful image, I know). Then Thursday night was our Ward Chili Cook Off and Carnival. Then today. Lots of fun, lots of painted faces, and lots of tired people in our house. But I thought I better post a picture or two of the festivities.



M2 & M3 decided that they had had enough by about 7:45 and went home to be with The Father. M1 and I kept on going. Finally about 8:30 it started to rain a little bit, so we went back home, but not after getting tons more candy and a home-made doughnut each. Mmmm.

Father's Day

So I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, I'm not sure I haven't looked at our checking account lately) but I was busy over the weekend.  The girls came home (2 days early) and I was in Utah running the Wasatch Back.  And I pretty much missed Father's Day. I got home at 7:30 last night and Colby had made the girls dinner, cleaned up, and started the dishwasher.  They were watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  Had it been Mother's Day, he never would have lived it down, but he hasn't said a word (maybe that's not a good thing).  He's a great dad.  As I get teary just sitting down writing this, knowing he will never see/read it, he's amazing.  He's a hard worker and does it all for the girls and me.  He doesn't (usually) complain about anything and does what needs to be done.  He loves the kids and probably missed them as much as I did while they were gone.  I don't give him enough credit for having emotions about anything, but ...

In A One Horse Open Sled

Today we unloaded a couple tons of hay and Colby saddled up Lightening and pulled the girls around our 3.5 acres.  They had a ball and especially enjoyed singing "Jingle Bells...in a one horse open sled."  They make me laugh sometimes.  Ok, fine, a lot of times.

Holy Sm

I started typing in my title and when I finally looked up and saw (at that very point) that I've already used this one. So to reiterate, Holy Smokes! I can't believe how much I have to catch up on! Maybe tomorrow when I don't have visiting teachers coming, cleaning for my mother-in-law to make an appearance, Madie's piano lesson, 6 violin lessons, rehearsal and somehow I found time to pinch poor Meriden's finger in the front door, I'll download some photos from 1. Christmas (What?!? I still haven't done that?) 2. New Years Eve/Day 3. Madison and Mackenzie's first gymnastics meet videos and photos all before we go to another meet this weekend in Salt Lake, making sure I look like a good mom since my mother-in-law is in town (aka having food on the table at a decent hour), teach a few gymnastics classes, getting ready for Madison's big 9th birthday, taking treats into her class and actually getting packed and to Salt Lake all by Friday at 3 pm. ...
