Halloween Party

The pinata aftermath. It had been rainy all night and morning, so we decided to have the pinata on the porch.

This is the donut eating game. No hands allowed. Amy is watching Morgan and Carol try to catch a bite. We also had a cake walk and cookie decorating. So much sugar going around. Sorry moms.

Here are all the kids (minus one) and their costumes. I hope everyone had a good time. Thanks Lenette for keeping the party rolling and keeping my sane!

Sunday

Here we are after church sitting around. Elli is grumpy again. Must hate camera.

Soccer

Adam got to play goalie a few times. He kept picking up the ball when he was out of the box and the other team would get a penaltly kick. He finally caught on.

This is the team. The whole league wears purple and the "away" team wears red jerseys over the top. Adam hates the purple.

This is what we do while Adam plays his games. We fight over who gets the one chair. We would sit on the grass, but the ants come and bite us.

Monkey Bread!

For General Conference, the kids helped me make one of our favorite treats. To help them listen to the talks, we had different snacks they could eat when they heard a certain topic. They listened so hard for each word, but probably didn't really listen. At least they sat and were quiet for me. I ended up giving half of the monkey bread to our neighbors so we wouldn't eat it all. So yummy!

Looking at Fish

Elli was trying to touch a little sting ray kind of thing. You have to stick your arm all the way up to your armpit and they go pretty fast.

This is the glass to the huge tank. They have sharks and sword fish and everything in there.

NC Aquarium

Posing by the big alligator.

Cheese!

Here we are trying out the camera in the computer. As soon as I figure out how to get the pictures from the camera, I'll really update this thing. It's been a while.
