Getting Ready!












Yes, Halloween is tomorrow and I'm sure that I will have plenty of trick or treating pictures to publish after the weekend. However, in preparation for the big event, we have a few photos to share today. The first is at our ward Halloween party...it's Emily and our neighbor friend, Gabe. Emily went as a BYU cheerleader (minus the pom poms because wouldn't you know I can't find them anywhere!) and Gabe went as BYU's mascot, Cosmo! They were so cute together, that I had to get a picture. Emily and Gabe are the same age and in the same grade and Primary class AND his family lives just up the street from us. We like Gabe so much that we've got Natalie thinking Gabe's her boyfriend...and someday they'll get married! No pressure Gabe!

Last night after much pressure from the kids, we finally sat down to carve our pumpkins. I think the reason that we put it off so long is because technically, we didn't need to buy any pumpkins. We grew 8 of them in our garden. But, they were on the small side and so in order to have a well carved pumpkin, we had to purchase a couple of larger ones. I bought 2 thinking that Abby and Jake would just help Kim and I do them, but it ended up being a project that pretty much Kim and I did ourselves! The kids did, however, have fun putting their Potato Head pieces into their own home-grown pumpkins and setting them out on the porch. I think we're ready for the big events that tomorrow will bring.

So stinking cute:) for someone who's been on their death bed with a cold you sure have made all kinds of effort for mother of the year. We always buy too many pumpkins and then run out of time to carve them. I guess there is always pie.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
