Quick Up-Date.

Yes, I am still alive.
It's just been really crazy around here.

More than usual.


We have company again, and I am on the PTA fall fundraising committee and we have ANOTHER fund-raiser we started this week, AND I am on the Activities committee for our ward and our ward Halloween Party was last night, so not much time for anything else.


Anyways, the Halloween Party was a success. We had a cake walk, a pumpkin carving contest, a bunch of soups and stews, a guy making cotton candy, carnival games, a spooky tunnel, and pictures.
Jason and I set up a spooky backdrop and then people could go and get a family picture of them all geared up in their Halloween costumes. It was a hit. I was busy all night, so we didn't get any pictures of the kids actually playing at the carnival, and I didn't get to really hang out with them. I didn't realize that when I said I would do it. Next year someone else can do the pictures. I'm a little nervous about the pictures though. They are good enough, I guess, I just hope people weren't expecting professional pictures because that they won't be. Only one set of lights showed up, and I needed another one on the other side, so the shadows are something fierce. And the scene was cute, but the backdrop wasn't big enough. O'well. What do people expect? I know what I expect of myself, but I think other's will be fine. Anyways, here is our picture from the party. That is really all I got of the kids. I will take more of them all dressed up on Halloween. Ava and I are witches, Blaise is Jack Sparrow, Caiden is Optimus Prime, and Jason is...............I don't know, but it cracks me up!!

I will post more this weekend!
Have a great day everyone!

You guys all look so cute. I love how Ava had to show off her binky in her solo picture. I know this is going to sound horrible, but we all know that Blaise is my favorite little guy in the whole world so don't take this the wrong way. His teeth are a perfect fit for his pirate costume since some are missing and still growing in, at first glance I thought he was wearing fake teeth. Looks like a blast, glad it all turned out so well.

his teeth do go with his outfit perfect!

And I don't know what we are going to do about that girl and her binky! But at least she is matching! She grabbed her purple binky and left her pink one at home. Gotta love that!
