Big Boys

The boys are getting so big and growing up too too fast.

Isn't this sweet? Jeremy just loves this book with all the rhyming. He quotes from it all the time. His favorite line is "I can't blab such blibber blubber, my toungue isn't made of rubber" Dad's the pro with Dr. Suess, though, mommy just can't handle the tounge twisters. I'm glad Christopher is enjoying reading time too.

Do you see the family resemblence?

Here, Christopher and Gwen are getting to know each other better. She just loves climbing into his carseat with him. I wonder what he's thinking, though. Hmmm.

Jeremy was sent home with an outline of a turkey to dress up and bring back. He decided to dress him up as Santa. So, I started helping make the suit and before I knew it Santa Turkey had a sleigh, with runners and bells, and nine reindeer he cut out himself, including Rudolph. He had lots of fun.

We cut hair tonight and Jeremy informed me he wanted a mohawk. Ooookaaay. So, I tried my best, never done that before. Here's the result. Hope he likes it. If not, it'll all come off, buzzed.

MoJo Monday Inspiration

So, I'm really in the mood to make cards lately. But, I have a hard time putting things together in my brain to see the end result. But, I found this blog that gives you a sketch and you add your own flair. It's just what I needed. Anyways, so here's my first creation using their Week 114 sketch.

I need to get better at taking pictures. But, I'm having fun.

Jeremy's Birthday

Okay, so this was probably my favorite of his parties. Jeremy turned six on the 23rd. He wanted a Scooby Doo Spooky party. We had a mystery to solve, with clues and activities. There were bats to knock down, spiders and ghosts to make, a mummy to wrap up (Wes) and of course the haunted graveyard cake to eat. We had a blast. I made the cake (I've never made it before) and that was super fun. But, I have to say, I'm a little exhausted from it all!

Halloween

This year was a busy Halloween. It was on Saturday, but it seemed like it was on Friday as well. Jeremy's first costume parade at school was Friday afternoon. He was so excited, then lost two pieces to his costume before it was over. Thank goodness we found both.

Then, that night some neighbors in the ward had a chilli cook-off party. We dressed up, ate too much chilli (heartburn for me, ouch), and had a lot of fun. These were our costumes.

Saturday, we actually had Thanksgiving dinner at Cami and Roland's to celebrate the two times Roland will miss in the next year. But, we hurried home to put costumes back on and trick or treat. We went out for a while, until we got cold and tired. It had been a long day. Our costumes changed a little, here we were.

All in all it was a fun weekend.
