Happy Halloween

It's Halloween and we are getting ready to go out trick-or-treating and trunk-or-treating. Here are some pics that we had taken over the weekend at our family parties. We had such a good time at both of them and love getting together with family. It's always fun to see who everyone will dress up as. Sometimes the costumes allow a little less inhibitions, but with some it doesn't matter if they're wearing a costume or not, they are always fun and a little kooky - I love it!!

I had to take Luke and Caleb to the dr today - unfortunately they are both sick for Halloween. They both have double ear infections, and Caleb also has an eye infection and is on a steroid to clear up his lungs. At least we have beautiful weather and it is about 65 outside now. Hopefully we can be done and back home before it gets too cold. It's nice this year to have daylight savings after Halloween so we can get some trick-or-treating done before it gets too dark. Happy haunting to all!!

October

October has been pretty busy for us. David and I have been working on our home improvement list. I got the front of the house shutters and window sills painted and David has been working on digging out our front strip to get it ready for rocks. I was able to go with Maddie to the zoo for her 1st grade field trip - we had such a good time and it was fun to see her with her friends. I took the kids to Kamas on conference sunday so we could celebrate all the Pace family birthdays for the month - we only sang "Happy Birthday" 6 times - it was chaotic as usual but always fun. I am also spending UEA weekend in Kamas and have enjoyed being able to catch up with friends that I don't see very often. I feel like I run from one place to another, but isn't that what going home is like? The kids always love spending time with their cousins and grandma, grandpa and grammy. We had a really good time on Friday night playing 5 crowns and ebonic scrabble - I think Grammy still won, but what else is new. We have Halloween parties planned for later in the month so I don't plan on things getting any slower - I know it's only the beginning of family get togethers and the holiday season.
