Halloween 2019

It was a COLD Halloween this year! But that didn't stop us from having a fun time trick or treating with cousins. I didn't end up with a lot of photos, but here they are:

Ivy spent her night trick or treating with us in a glow-in-the-dark pumpkin sleeper. Not that you could see it, since she was bundled up tight! I love it when she wears this to bed. During her night feedings all I see is this glowing jack-o-lantern smile. :)

Jaxon wanted to be a pirate, again. Violet a witch, and Ginger was so excited to be "Blancanieves" (Snow White).

Earlier that day, Violet had her Halloween parade, and after school we had some one on one time and made/decorated Halloween cookies. I think she likes Halloween more than Christmas.

Happy Halloween!

Ivy in the Pumpkin Patch

It's been a tradition now to get a photo of each of my kids in a pumpkin patch their first fall.

Since Ginger is a December birthday, she's a little older in her photo.

And here is the latest addition...

It was actually FREEZING this particular day. We could still see our breath at 12:00 noon. So I had to be very quick. But she didn't seem to mind. What a good baby. :)

Fall Happenings

October was a busy month! We tried to fill it with fun. :)

Of course we had a wonderful General Conference. Bingo is always a hit in the afternoon sessions.

For most of the kids, anyway.

Ginger redeemed her Christmas coupon from last year for a tumbling class. Each day she never wanted to go, but now that it's over she still cries that she can't go anymore.

Under the parachute!

The kids really got into the Halloween spirit. Violet loved reading spooky stories to Laykin.

And Mamie threw her annual fall party during fall break. We decorated rice krispy treats, played bingo and other fun games, and of course had our doughnut on a string.

 We decorated a haunted ginger bread house (pre-bought, sheesh I don't have that kind of time on my hands...).

Ginger and her pumpkin hat. I got it for her pumpkin costume last year and she still LOVES to wear it. She's definitely super cute in it. I always get so many compliments on this hat. Usually they ask if I made knitted it, to which I usually say, well, see last paragraph.

And I guess I don't know how to knit, either.
