More Halloween Fun!

Yesterday the kids turned each other into Mummy's!

They had so much fun with a simple roll of toilet paper!

Afterwards they had an awesome "snowball" fight.

Today we took pictures with our favorite scarecrows. During the month of October, several businesses display scarecrows up and down Main Street. Another reason we love Spanish Fork!

Adam was trying to get Tessa to look at the camera, but the sun was so bright, neither of them could look stand to look up. It looks like he's trying to pull her head off!

More Halloween Fun!

Since I work every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, we are busy with Halloween activities the other days of the week. The last couple of days have brought more Halloween fun to our house!

Last night the kids went to our neighbors pumpkin patch and each picked out a pumpkin to bring home.

Sunday night we made our traditional Mummy Dogs for dinner!

Monday brought ghost stories! I told them about "The Chocolate Chip Ghost". A favorite from my childhood and the most innocent story ever told. It totally freaked Tessa out though!

Ghost Pudding was on the menu for Family Home Evening Treats. Tessa said her ghost was too scary to eat. She went straight for the chocolate!

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!

More Tessa Randomness

The other night when Eric got home from work, Tessa greeting him at the top of the stairs and then asked him to help her. This is what he found! I was making dinner and had no clue she had a truck stuck in her hair.

After several minutes of Eric and I trying to twist the truck out of her hair, she just grabbed it and yanked it out! Out came the truck and out came her hair....roots and all! Luckily, we had been able to get most of her hair out of the truck, so she didn't lose that much!

Adam was able to participate in our ward's Primary Program a couple of weeks ago. He did so well and said his part loud and clear! We loved watching him yawn through all of the songs.

Tessa had several people laughing during the beginning of the program. When she saw all the kids sitting on the stand and she was stuck sitting with boring Mom and Dad, she announced (fairly loudly), "Hey! What about me?! I'm a kid!!"

BYU Game!

We were lucky enough to have a couple of extra tickets to the BYU football game last night, so Adam and Katy were able come with us and watch the action!

Adam was so excited! He couldn't stop smiling!

He stood on the bleachers with an arm around each of our necks the whole time we were there. I think he loved having both Mommy and Daddy all to himself.

My favorite part of the game was watching him. He had us laughing when the marching band played the San Jose song. Adam said, Hey! Why are they playing their song first? This is BYU's country!"

During the first half Adam announced, "Run, tackle, run, tackle. Hey! It's a pattern!"

Although he loved being out with the big people, his very favorite part of going to BYU games with us.....eating his Cougar Tail!

His half time "nap".

Go Cougars!!

Tessa Randomness

Dinner time with Tessa is always a challenge! She cannot sit still, or politely for that matter.

Her favorite activities to do while Adam is at school is paint and puzzles! She is so good at putting puzzles back together!
