So Behind...

I'm feel so behind on everything in my life right now, but for some reason the one I stress the most about is blogging. Probably because I sit down to write something and nothing comes, so then I start reading everyone else's blogs and everyone else is current and up to date and has fun and clever things to write about. Then I give up. Hence the lack of blogging lately.

I also have a broken camera which means I don't have much to show for the things that we have done. I guess I'll try to recap a little bit.

October sort of seems like a big blur to me. How is it already November next week?? We had a school auction at the beginning of the month that was really fun, but lots of work to get ready for and it went really well. Then there was the Stake Primary Training meeting to prepare for, it also went well but so glad to have it behind us. Then Red Ribbon Week was last week. It helped that we had two really fun assembly's already planned so I didn't have too much preparation. It was a fun week and I had lots of help, but I'm also glad its over.

We did find some time to drive up Immigration Canyon and take some pictures of the fall leaves. The kids loved it and it was nice to be out one last time before the dreaded winter locks us up in our home. Halle needed a family picture for school so Tucker brought his tripod and we snapped a few pictures.

They each found a walking stick.

It was so pretty and quiet. It was like we were in our own little forest. I loved it!

We also managed to go pick out some pumpkins, still haven't carved them yet, but we do have them sitting on our porch.

(pay no attention to my terribly neglected dark roots...they'll be fixed soon)

Of course the one picture I take turns out blurry...amature!

My brothers two boys (that are Aidan and Avery's age) slept over one night last week so I decided to take them all to Gardner Village to see the witches. Brooke and her kids joined us to make it all the more fun. It was cold and windy, but they loved it. The first thing Halle said when we got there was, "Please can you not take any pictures?" Lucky for her I have a broken camera so we just enjoyed walking around without trying to pose 7 children at each and every witch.

We finally narrowed down the Halloween costumes. I couldn't get myself or my children to commit to any one costume until about 2 days ago. We had a Halloween party last night and they all finally came together. Batman, Cinderella and a cowgirl...you can guess who will be who! Looking forward to a fun festive week. Aidan gets to dress up tomorrow for preschool and trick or treat to some of the classes, Halle's parade and class party are Thursday. More Halloween parties on Thursday and Friday and with Halloween on Saturday I think we'll just get in enough wearing of the costumes to make the stress of it all worth it! Guess I better go buy some candy.

P.S. Oh, and for a good Halloween laugh, go here and read about the adventures of Hobo Girl! :)
