Halloween

Since Halloween was on a Sunday this year we had all our parties before Halloween. This meant that we were home for the first time on Halloween. After church we had our fun orange Halloween dinner and relaxed until it got dark. We did let the kids dress up and go to the neighbors house to show off their costumes. So after they went to the three houses on our cult-a-sac we came home and handed out candy. The kids had so much fun handing out candy to everyone. Even Sadie loved waiting for people to come.

This was the most excited my kids were this whole Halloween. They waited by the door when people would start walking up to our door Logan would start yelling, "Everybodys coming!!!, their coming to our house!!!" It was so cute watching them hand candy out and see how excited they were. We had a great time just relaxing at home together.

Grandparents Trunk or Treat

Since Grandma Rauch, and Grandma and Grandpa Moss are in the same ward we enjoy going to their wards trunk or treat.

The kids loved playing all the games and getting prizes.

Costumes

Today I was able to get a picture of all the kids in their costumes.

Blake continually changed is mind as to what he wanted to dress up as. Finally I took him to the store and he decided to be a SWAT guy. I think he just liked all the stuff that came with it handcuffs, flashlight, binoculars, grenade, and a phone.

Logan can really care less about Halloween and dressing up. He never tells me what he wants to be and says yes to every idea that I give him, so I just pick something out for him. He doesn't like to dress up and after he puts his costume on he is usually ready to take it off, which is why I am happy I was able to get some pictures of Logan in his costume. Logan dressed up as a Viking since we had all the props all I had to do was make a furry vest.

Sadie was Minnie Mouse. We borrowed the costume from a friend and made some ears for her. She looked cute.

Ward Trunk or Treat

Tonight we had our ward trunk or treat.

As you can see Logan refused to wear his costume, so he was a stubborn 4 year old.

Sadie as Minnie Mouse.

The kids had fun going around to all the cars, Logan and Sadie were done after one trip to all the cars.

Blake had fun going around with his friends.

After they got their candy they had fun playing in Dads truck. We had a great time with our ward family.

The Great Pumpkin

Tonight we carved our pumpkin that we got at the pumpkin patch.

That night Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin was on so I let the kids stay up and watch it. I baked the pumpkin seeds from our pumpkin and we ate them while watching the movie.

The kids loved the movie especially Logan who chuckled and laughed throughout the movie.

Primary Program

Today our Primary had their program in sacrament meeting. This was Logan's fist primary program. Grandma Rauch, Grandma Shelly, Grandpa Moss, Uncle Matthew, Aunt Danielle, Ellie, Carson, Hunter and Macie all came to hear them in the primary program. We have been practicing their parts for weeks and both boys had their line memorized. We were prepared for Logan not cooperating or not behaving on the stage and were ready to grab him if needed. Well soon after the program started Logan was walking off the stage. Aunt Danielle grabbed him in time before he could get too far and Rich sat with him until his part came up (which was at the beginning). Logan finally gets up to the microphone after a little pushing and stands up there and stares at everyone. Even with help from the Primary President Logan would not say his part, so she said it for him. After his part he didn't even try and sit with his class, but came and sat with the family. Blake did a great job he sang the songs which I was happy to see. When it was his turn he got up to the microphone looked at the audience and said his part clearly and slowly, "We come unto Christ by repenting when we make a mistake and doing temple work." He did a great job and we were so proud of him. After church Logan happily said his part to Grandmas and Grandpa.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch to look for a pumpkin. We decide to get one big pumpkin instead of 3 little pumpkins (much cheaper that way).

The boys loved playing the games and bounce slides.
