Halloween

We are the luckiest parents/grandparents in the world. For the second year in a row, Jared and Kristen came to celebrate Halloween here with us. It was so fun to be with them and see the little bumblebees excitedly buzzing around. We went out to dinner on Friday night, then watched a movie after kids were in bed. On Saturday, Kristen and I attended our ward's super Saturday and crafted our fingers off. Then we all went on a fun Halloween hike/picnic. The weather was beautiful. The evening was gorgeous and so fun to be part of the fun. Traditionally, I make a vegetable soup for Halloween dinner. The adults enjoy it, but I think it's mostly torture for the little ones. They just want to be gone! We were around the dinner table, and the trick or treaters kept coming. It was so hard to sit there eating soup! Kristen was trying to coax Nathan to eat, and he was absolutely refusing. As the standoff continued he finally pleaded, "Time out!" He wanted to be in time out more than eat that soup!!! Now, that's pretty bad! After a good laugh, he was released and dressed up and off they went!

Wow, the soup was that bad huh? He's a little character. I'm glad you had so much fun with the Mackrorys.

Such cute pictures! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. And you were okay to hike after your injuries?

You got some great pictures. I LOVE the ones of you and the kids in the tree. Everyone is smiling in several of them. Wahoo!
