Adam's Story

Last week for one of Adam's homework assignments, he had to tell us one of his favorite stories using things we had around the house. He decided to tell us one of his favorite Curious George stories. He used his George doll and one of his other dolls to make The Man With the Yellow Hat. Tessa LOVED it and couldn't stop laughing!


Halloween Fun!

We have had a busy October! We have been having fun with our Halloween countdown calendar and the kids are loving all the different activities we have planned for the month. Here's a quick look at some of the fun things we have been up to.
The kids really want to use the camera on their own. The top picture Tessa took and the bottom picture Adam took.

We had some fun with fall leaves.

I love my little kitchen helpers. We tried a new fall recipe for our Family Home Evening treat.
Caramel Apple cheesecake. I'll post the recipe on my food blog.
They did a good job! It was delicious!
We painted pumpkins.

We made some spooky treats and "Boo"ed our neighbors. The kids have loved driving around the neighborhood to see how far our "Boo"ing has gone!

We made our traditional "Mummy Braid" for dinner one night.
The kids played some intense rounds of "Don't Eat Frank!"
We made mummies and monster puppets.
My cousins held their annual Halloween Party this weekend and the kids got to show off their costumes! Aunt Dee is amazing and made both costumes! She got in on the fun last night too.
Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, and the Wicked Witch
Watching Charlie Brown with their cousin Jason.
The Chicken Dance!
They loved hitting the pinata! These kids never complain about getting candy:)
We have a lot more fun planned for the rest of the month! The kids can't wait for Halloween night!
