Best Week Ever!

This week was so fun for me! Not to say that there wasn't one child throwing up or another playing in the toilet, but that there were some REALLY fun things mixed into all of that! :) Monday for FHE we carved pumpkins with the kids. Lyv swore she would clean our her own pumpkin this year... until she looked into it. Carly was fascinated with the pumpkin guts! She kept asking if she could touch them, after a while she started tasting it... ew.

Kai was totally disgusted with the seeds and didn't want them near him.  Finally he couldn't resist watching Carly put her hands in it, so he had to find out for himself...

Lyv swears this is a dog! What do you think it is? (Hint: not a dog!)

Wednesday the girls and I made sugar cookie dough and cut out halloween cookies, Joey had Elders Quorum meetings so we stayed up late and decorated the cookies. 

Carly must have heard someone say "I want Sprinkles!"  There really is a cookie under the pile on the right... I swear!

 
That night we had craft night and Summer and I finally got to make the pumpkin jars we have been lusting after for weeks now! Yay! They are even cuter at night with orange lights in them! I have Halloween decorations for 2 days! WooHoo!!
 

This week was also drug free week at Lyv's school, on Thursday they had "drugs turn you inside out day"  So the kids were supposed to wear their clothes inside out and have crazy hair.  this is how lyv walked out the door!

Friday Lyv had her Halloween parade at school, Mom and I took Carly & Kai to go see her, She wouldn't hold the guitar! BRAT!!

Friday night was our ward party, here is some pics of the kids, I LOVE dressing them up! Halloween is my favorite Holiday!!

We also went to an adult party after, pics of that later!  Saturday (I'm almost done!) Summer and I ran a 5K race in Hurricane!  It was so fun! We dressed up for Halloween, Summer is so cute! I had vampire teeth in for the whole thing, I don't think you can really see them though.

Summer and I both came in third place for our age divisions! I really don't know how many people in my age division ran, maybe only 3, lol!, but it was still great to get an award!

here's a closer look in case you didn't see it the first time! Ha! Ha! Happy Halloween!!!

Rock Star!!

Today Lyv had a birthday party to go to for a girl in her class at school. It was a halloween party so she got to dress up a whole week early in her costume, she was SO excited!! (Me too!) We got her hair and makeup all done, here it is! I can't wait for Halloween, Carly is going to be a witch and Kai is a biker dude. I love Halloween!!!

Bad News...

So... Joey has not been feeling good for a couple days, so we googled the symptoms for the Swine flu, and Joey fit the bill so I sent him to the doctor last night and they tested him. He has the Swine flu!!

 I'm terrified the kids will get it, Lyv has already been out of school for a couple days complaining of a headache, I called the doctor this morning to ask them what I should do, if we should get them tested.  I haven't heard back yet. But we are sanitizing everything and keeping Joey quarantined.  When he does come out, he has masks he can wear, Carly isn't sure how she feels about that yet.

 So, in the mean time I am sleeping on the couch and trying to keep everyone happy.  I'll post soon about the kids!

Happy Faces!

Last night I was making dinner and the girls were sitting at the table, they were just playing and I wasn't paying much attention to them, until they erupted in a fit of giggles! Carly was singing "put a happy face on your frowny face, put a frowny face on your happy face!" I looked over at them and this is what I saw...

Aren't they funny?  I love it when they get along so well and have fun as sisters, I didn't have a sister growning up, so it's so fun for me to see how much they enjoy each other. I love my silly girls! I even caught Carly with clothes on, Yay!!  Yesterday Carly got to go with Linda for the day and she had so much fun!  I am so thankful for you Linda and how much you love my kids!  Carly really was needing some one-on-one time, and sometimes it can be hard find that in my house! Thank you!! (for the love and the stickers!)

I'm back!!

I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted! My life has been crazy lately and I just haven't been able to sit down and do this! So here we go!  My big Kai Boy turned 2 on Tuesday!!! I can't believe he's such a big boy! he is the funniest kid ever! His new phrase is "What the heck?!?" Isn't that cute?

These are his prize posessions from his birthday party Saturday night.  He got a Batman scooter and a John Deere tractor!  He's a happy boy! He's got a little cold going on so he and I didn't go to church today, hopefully the girls don't get it!  Thank you to everyone who got Kai something for his birthday! We love you!  I love you Kai! You are such a good, sweet boy! Happy Birthday!
