Time Travel

Parent Teacher conferences have come and gone quite awhile ago, but I have been super lazy about posting on here. So we will travel back in time to October and review the kiddos progress.

As usual, the kids are all doing great in school. I was surprised to find out that Joe loves math and does VERY well in it. I also discovered that Cori is in the highest reading group in kindergarten. Sterling does really well in everything but loves science and math. And Emmy...well, she loves everything and excels in everything. We have some very bright kiddos and I'm so proud of each of them for doing their best!

 Halloween was also awhile ago, but we'll just continue on our little time travel adventure and post about it now. It was fun dressing up all 6 kiddos this year. We had a monster- biker- type person, a Gothic vampire, Bakugan, a construction worker, Minnie Mouse and...a cheeseburger (what can I say, the kids picked out Eddie's costume). We did go to our Ward's Trunk or Treat and Kailyn and Eddie thought it was so cool that people were just GIVING them candy for NO reason!

 The Saturday before Halloween Clara put together a little Halloween party for us all. The giant spiders and web all over her dinning room made it feel really creepy!

The dinner was called "Dinner in a Pumpkin" and was a rice and meat mixture baked in a pumpkin. Yummy! There was also skull cornbread, brains in a cup  and witches brew to go with it. 

 Then for dessert there was graveyard cake and eyeballs! The kids thought it was spectacular!

On Halloween Clara and I took my four older kids and her 3 oldest kids out trick or treating in the neighborhood by our church. We were out for a couple of hours and the kids were so done by the time we finished! We heard quite a bit of "My legs hurt!" but they got a lot of candy. Enough that I was able to take 6lbs of it to the dentist, where they do a candy buy back for $1 per lb, and still have 3 HUGE bowls left!

Halloween was so much fun and we're so thankful to have John and Clara nearby so that the kids can do fun things like this with their cousins and make incredible memories!

Thanks for going on a little Time Travel expedition with me. Someday I might learn to keep my blog updated...but I highly doubt it while I have 6 kiddos! And after that, I won't have anything to write about. :-)
