It's Getting Spooky

Another time Mason passed out on a day where he didn't nap

 We have had weeks with lots of little gnats everywhere making it impossible to enjoy being outside

Those gnats are gone now and we can enjoy the beautiful fall colors

 And throwing rocks in the river

 A couple Sundays ago it seemed like it was never going to be bed time. Kim had the great idea to give the kids glow sticks and turn out the lights. They were entertained for over an hour. It was such a good idea

 They fell asleep really easily

 Lyza has caught the bug from Mason and has been really enjoying playing with magnatiles 

 These boys got to watch this excavator working down by our park

Cute boy with a serious face

 This baby is way too big for that chair

 Isn't he cute? 

 Mason has his own box of crayons since he likes to rip all the paper off and break them. But it keeps him busy

 Halloween craft with Mom

 Making bread with Mom

 Nixon got some 1-on-1 time with his mom and chose to do perler beads

 "I made it!"

 Ignore his bib, it does not reflect the opinions of this writer

 Lyza getting her hair transformed into peacock mode

Here is Lyza in her school's costume parade

 The kids in their costume about to trick or treat at my office

 Mason just grabbed handfuls of candy and no one would stop him (we couldn't) because he is so cute

 After that we went to a carnival at Lyza's school. There were different games in each room and prizes to be won. This is an angry birds game

 Fishing

Mason can't wait to fish with his Grandpa Bullock. Watch out!

 Shooting targets with a nerf bow

Mason was obsessed with this dinosaur costume but would be terrified any time it would turn toward him

 Mason proud of another one of his creations

 Lyza getting some make up before our ward harvest party

 So beautiful

 Our webslinger

 Six boxes of mac 'n cheese for the pot luck

 Yummy

 There were activities and crafts for the kids

 Mason made a necklace

 Nixon was so excited to have a spider painted on his face

 The cutest puppy in the building

 The next morning Nixon came up with this costume

 Henry was also still in costume

Last Sunday morning we had a big hairy visitor

 

 He spent quite a while eating our bush

He wasn't even scared when a truck had to pass

That's all for now. Next up, some more Halloween fun

Take care
