HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Party Central

Yesterday I helped put on a Halloween party for the three wards that meet in our building. It was a huge success. We had at least 40 kids there with their moms. We had a great time. There was story time, a costume parade, a simple craft, cupcake decorating and games. Natalie loved playing with her friends and devouring her sprinkle and candycorn covered cupcake. I am glad it went so well and am now ready for Halloween!

Pumpkin Time

On Wednesday, we made our annual playgroup trip to the pumpkin patch. We had such a great time. Natalie loves to feed the animals and isn't shy at all around them. After feeding the animals, we went on a hayride around a small pond then picked our pumpkin out of the field. Natalie thought picking a pumpkin was the best part. Unfortunately I had to remind her that we could only take home two because the stroller can only hold two, not the ten she saw were perfect for her and Curtis.

Family Time

Last week, I went to Arizona with the kids to spend a week with my family and for an extended family Girl's Retreat in St. George. We had great time. We spent two days at my parents cabin enjoying the cool weather, roasting marshmallows and shooting. Natalie was the life of the party with all the friends that came. Above is Natalie and Curtis wearing their protective head gear while we used the shotguns. Notice Curtis all ready to go in his camo sweats.


Then my mom, Curtis and I spent the weekend with her sisters and their daughters for a Girl's Retreat in St. George. We had a great time talking, crafting, eating and shopping. I loved seeing my sisters and catching up with everyone. I already can't wait for next year.
