Trunk or Treat

Our ward has a Trunk or Treat party every year. The kids really enjoy it. They have fun trick or treating twice!

Madison and Rachel were a Barbie Cheerleader and a cat!

Jake was Bam Bam. He didn't want to put on his costume at first, but now Scott is trying to take it off and he doesn't want to take it off. (He must have know I put love in every stitch...lol) He loved the bat! He got his Dad a good one on the way to church!

All I want for Crithmath is my...

Rachel lost her front tooth in the bathtub a couple of days ago! I went into the bathroom and Rachel is sitting with her hands over her mouth with blood coming out from between her fingers. She said she had put a plastic bath toy in her mouth and Madison has pulled it out of her mouth really hard...and out came her tooth! It had been bothering her for a while, so she was glad to have it out!

Wow! What a week!

We have had such a fun week or so! First of all, Aunt Mary came to visit. She is always fun to be with. What I will remember most is that she taught the kids to have screaming contests. Then we discovered the swap shop. My friend Laura has said that she has gone and found some great finds, so Aunt Mary and I decided to see what "treasures" we could find. The price was just right!

Madison and Rachel both had fieldtrips. Madi went to the pumpkin patch and Rachel got to go to the nature center. I was privledged to get to go with both of them!

The girls were in the Primary presentation. They both had a solo and a speaking part. They did fantastic. Madi was cute, she kept giving me the thumbs up from the stand. Most of the family got to come and see them. They all came back to our house after and carved pumpkins. It was lots of fun. Great family togetherness!

Little Miss Soccer!

I don't have a picture...the one game I don't bring it with me....but Rachel scored her first goal of the season on Saturday!!!!! GO RACHEL!

The Pumpkin Patch

Madison and I went to the pumpkin patch today with her preschool. She had a lot of fun. She got to go through a kiddie hay maze and a petting zoo. At the end we both got pumpkins. Lots and lots of fun! Not a bad way to spend Friday the 13th !

Randomness

Wow! It's been a while since we last posted. Our days have been filled with school, homework, soccer and piano...the time sure flies!

Anyway....Jacob has a new hobby. He likes to wear the girls dress up shoes and vacuum with the kiddie vac. It's hilarious to watch. I can never seem to get my camera in time. Here is a picture with him and his favorite vacuum.

Rachel having a fun time with soccer. The weather has been less than desirable the past couple Saturdays, but she still has a good time.

Madison is doing great in preschool. She can recognize all her numbers from 1-20 and only mixes up her lower case b/d/p/q and g. The teacher says it is totally normal. She is liking preschool a lot more this year. I asked the teacher how she was doing socially. She said that she talks and plays with everyone. I guess her "Social Butterfly" t - shirt fits her to a tee. I am exited to go on her first fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch on Friday. (It's only supposed to be 50 degrees!)

Overall....just getting into a groove now with school a month and a half under our belts... A sad thought...for me anyway.... We were sitting at the table last night and I realized that I will not be able to sleep in durning the school year for the next 17 years....6:45 for the next 8 years and 5 Am for the next 9... Scott said I would just have to look forward to the summers like the kids do. I guess I will have to learn to embrace the mornings....it will probably take me 16 years to do that!
