Luke made these turkeys at school so for Thanksgiving at Grandma Pam and Grandpa Keith's we decided to go for it. Of course since they were made out of chocolate cookies, chocolate frosting, mini reese's peanut butter cups and candy corn it was a MUST. We had so much fun going to Boise for Thanksgiving this year. It is always great to be around family during the holidays. Thanks for putting up with our circus!
With the invention of biodegradable packing peanuts comes the latest and greatest craft for kids! I discovered through my preschool curriculum if you get the ends of these babies wet they stick together and make fun sculptures. The kids sat for hours and played with these, making temples and Pokemon and having a contest to see who could make the longest tower. Love it!
Adam got a pair of tickets to the Utah v. New Mexico game last Saturday. Neither Luke or Grace wanted to go but Liam was dying to go, so Adam gave in a took him. I guess he did pretty good, we bundled him up really warm and off they went. What a fun daddy son experience for them both. And Utah trounced New Mexico so it all had a great ending.
Liam and his "scary" pumpkin
Get out the guts!!!
Claire was interested in everything everyone was doing, she was grabbing stuff left and right. She even managed to get some pumpkin slime in her fist and was sucking on it before anyone noticed. You could tell she wanted to help, we had to move everything out of her way.
I guess I'll settle for this stem if I HAVE to...
Luke as Darth, Grace the princess and Liam the cowboy dude.
Right before they headed out Aunt Dianna read them a Halloween book. You would think it was very scary by the looks on their faces, in fact it was a board book meant for toddlers. It put them in the mood! They came back with tons of candy. Thank goodness for the candy store. The kids paid me in candy for some dollar store toys I bought. A good deal, if you ask me. The only bad part is now I have all their candy and I can't stop eating it! What to do with it? I feel bad throwing it away but that might be my only way to quit.....
