Trick or Treat

Jason and Mia decided tobe the ones to stay home and pass out candy to the trick or treaters, so me and the boys set out with Jana Tabor and her boys from next door. Some of us are very glad that Halloween comes only once a year. On the up side, everyone slept really long and hard that night. They all were very happy with their costumes and very excited about the loot they gained. Joseph just kept saying, " Mom, they gave me candy!!!!!!"

Happy Halloween

This is the corn maze went to this year. We actually went twice. The first time we went with the ward primary, the second time we went with Trever on his preschool field trip. The slide was kickin'. Caleb and Trever would fearlessly run all the way to the top, and launch themselves down the slide in any direction. Joseph however was very timid. Being the good mom I am.....(ok it is more like the crazy mom I am) Mia, Mom and Joseph all went down together. I must tell you that it is one very tall, very quick slide.
We all had alot of fun, but missed Jason very much, as he had to work both times.

Big Man

The other day I set the juice out to get the boys a drink and got called into the bathroom to help Trever. When I got back Joseph was sitting on the counter, helping himself to the juice. Apparently he just couldn't wait. Terry, Pat, this scene reminded me immediately of you both, only you were a little bigger and standing in front of the open fridge with a milk jug. My Joseph is a mans man already. I have to teach the kid to use a glass, he personalizes anything he drinks with very visable backwash. YUM!

Trever The Fierce

Trever is going to his school Halloween party

today. He is excited to take the cookies to decorate

and to be a pirate. He also loves to see himself on video.

Personally I think a pirate is fitting. He often tries to mutany on me.

Trever had his first day of preschool a couple of weeks ago. He loves school, and asks every day if it is a school day. He absolutely loves Mrs. Sara. We personally think she is a bit nuts to try recorders with 3 and 4 yr. olds on the first day of preschool, but I guess a little crazy is just what these kids need. We love Mrs. Sara. A big thank you for all you do.

We had a fun trip to Twin Falls over Conference weekend. It was very rainy the first day, but lucky enough it dried up and Saturday the kids all went to the Pumpkin patch. They had fun, even if it was really really cold.
One of the big favorites is the Tractor train ride. They all had to go at least twice. It wasn't very crowded at all so they didn't have to wait in line.
The beauticians, Andrea and Tiana just had to give the boys, Andrew and Caleb their cool dude mohawks. And Grandma had pleanty of carmel apple suckers to go around. After such a busy day, they all wanted to watch a movie. Good thing Grandma and Grandpa have such a big couch.

Entertainment

When your a very active boy, and mom is busy .......making dinner, feeding the baby, going to the bathroom....... here are some things you can to to entertain yourself. This first one is called "The Stair Slide". Believe it or not, mom actually let us continue. Maybe because we were actually laughing and playing good together...... or maybe just because she is an awesome mom. At least it is slower than sleeping bags.
This one is called "The superhero run". You have your mom tie a dupe (burp) diaper around your neck like a cape, pick your favorite superhero who's name ends with man, and run up and down the hall shouting his name as if you are his sole source of advertising. Mom also let us continue with this game. She is soooooo cool. Yea ok, it made us a little tired, and the rest of the evening we didn't even have enough energy to fight, but it is soo much fun.

Now this game, called "Surprise" was not really so keen with mom. It was at first, until Joseph jumped....yes right on guess who. I tried to tell mom he has been earning it for a while now, but she still said I can't flatten my brother, at least not while she can prevent it and he isn't activily asking for it.

Now thats what I call Entertainment baby!!!!!
