More Halloween Parties!

We had our own little Halloween party with a few friends. 
The kids decorated ghost cup cakes and played. The grown ups just chatted. 

Dallin loved Weston's fireman costume.  He wore it more than Weston did. 
Weston had a party at school. This was his parade. 
Dallin's candy corn costume was a hit. He didn't like to keep his hood on.

The little girls couldn't get enough of Dallin.

Dual Tornados

This mess is complements of Weston, who is learning to use toilet paper on his own.



This mess is complements of Dallin, who got ahold of a brand new package of napkins. 

Lunch with Grandma

I wish there was a way to photoshop away the mess on the desk.

Between Husband and Wife

Some funny blurbs from the last week:

Mike:  Thank you for not being a nagging wife.
Me: I don't have to nag you, you do everything I tell you to do.
Mike: Yeah, except when I don't want to...


Setting: Laying in bed, Dallin is crying in his crib.
Me: I just want to go hold him.
Mike: You can hold me instead.
Me: It's not the same...
Mike: Would it help if I cried?


Setting: I need to show Mike something on the computer but he is in my chair.
Me: Uh, I need my chair. I can't explain it standing over here. I need to be sitting in my chair.
Mike: (Doesn't move)
Me: Jumping up and down, flailing around and pretending to have a melt down because he won't let me sit in my chair.
Mike: You do "neurotic" well.

Most of my posts are about my fabulous and adorable children, but I should also mention my fabulous and adorable husband.
Anyone who has met Mike knows I won the lottery with this choice of husband/father combo. Occasionally, he says the sweetest things and I just wanted a place to jot them down so I don't forget them.

A while back Mike went out with a bunch of his guy friends. They did a bunch of fun "guy" things. When he came home he said to me, "That was a lot of fun, but I prefer spending time with my wife."

Once I was telling him stories from my childhood and he said "Robin, if I knew you as a child, I would have been knocking on your parents door every day saying, 'Can Robin come out and play?'"

We were loving the Bourne Identity trilogy. One night I asked him what he would do if I got amnesia and he said "I'd have fun making you fall in love with me again".

Recently someone said I was so lucky to have Mike because he is so good to me, he spoils me rotten, he does the dishes, he bathes the children, etc. When I relayed the info to Mike he simply said, "Isn't that how I should treat my queen".

Halloween Crafts


Project 1: Making fall leaves into ghosts.
Verdict: What a pain. It took several coats of paint over a few days to get it all done.

Cute
The front of the house decorations.
Project 2: Caramel Apples- Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory style.
Verdict: AWESOME!
I wanted Heath Bar, Mike requested cinnamon sugar, and Weston just wanted plain caramel.
Mmmm....
Weston thoroughly enjoyed this activity.
We bought a cork board to hang all of Weston's school projects.
I like the frowny skeleton. (He's sad because he has no skin)
