HALLOWEEN...

Don't we all just love halloween!? Getting them ready,
all the paint and hairspray and work, and for an hour of
trick or treating...ugh!! Actually I love halloween but by
the time it's over I'm usually sick of it. This year Kel was
the grim reaper, Sydnie was Spiderella, Kian was the Gatekeeper
and Taya was a pirate.


Even Celi came out and dressed up with Taya.

Shane's kids came out to trick or treat with us too. All in all

it was a good time.

Nice shiner!!

You would think that moving into
a new neighborhood the kids would
make new friends, not enemies.
Not really, Kian was actually
playing with the new neighbor and
he was swinging and iron rod trying
to swat moths. Kian's face just
got in the way. It didn't look
bad when it first happened, but
when he woke up in the morning it
was nice and black. He's pretty
proud of his first black eye.

the results!!

Something to be proud of!! This is one thing they actually work hard at. If only they worked that
hard doing chores!

Pumpkin Carving

Every year it has of course become tradition to
carve pumpkins for halloween. The best part
is the older they get the more independent they
are. Even Taya did alot of her carving alone. You
gotta love the mess it makes too... we need to
switch to painting them!
