As you can see from this post and many of my past posts that the combination of three kids and blogging doesn't mix well. I just don't find the excitement in it like I use too. However, I still need my yearly blog book to journal our year.....so I must press on, hoping it will get a little easier in the future.
What an exciting year. So many parties with friends and family, perfect weather, two super EXCITED little munchkins, and one cute little pumpkin......who we turned into a ghost this year!
Our friend had a costume birthday party for her little girl
which started off the exciting month. As you can see the boys started out as a pirate and
spiderman. Thrift store costumes that only
cost about five dollars total. They LOVED them. Then the night before my parents big Monster Mash party I saw my cute nephew on
facebook with his
Spiderman costume......lets just say it was WAY cooler than our thrift store find, and I new when my little Nathan saw his cousin the next day he would come to realize really quick how cheep his parents are. So we went out the next morning and bought him a new costume, which meant Daniel wanted a new costume. So it wasn't the cheep Halloween I thought it would be. But we had two cute superheros.
We also were able to ride the
Heber Creeper to a pumpkin patch were we all got to pick our own pumpkin, decorate it, and then have hot chocolate and cookies on the way back.
My parents Monster Mash did NOT
disappoint, with the brand new finished basement my mom had the dance floor she had always dreamed of. And our family broke out all the moves. I even got to see my dad do the moon walk.....and he was REALLY good.
Then on Halloween Matt's work had a huge Halloween party, or should I say Christmas party? That's what it seemed like to me. The kids got to go trick or treating from office to office. Then they got a big surprise bag and got to pick out a movie. Then we went to the break room where each child had his or her name on a toy, which they handed out to all the kids. We had yummy pizza and so much excitement. They also gave Matt a kindle which I have claimed as mine.......but he doesn't seem to mind.
That night we went trick or treating in cute little
farmington. It was perfect weather and the perfect area to celebrate one of our favorite holidays.
We won't forget when we were about done trick or treating and we told the boys they could only go to one more house....Nathan said "ONE MORE HOUSE.......
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!" it was like the most exciting thing ever. I told Matt that every year will be less and less exciting for these little boys so we need to enjoy this
excitement all we can. I think little Marie enjoyed her candy as well:)
Every day Daniel wakes up with some creation in his mind that he is ready(even before breakfast) to tackle. It usually requires me and a lot of STUFF to accomplish his goals. Tree houses, wings, space ships, caves, culinary concoctions, backpacks, etc etc etc. This particular day a spider web. I thought well we can glue Popsicle sticks together and then paint them. It would at least keep them busy and they could pretend to be making a spider web. Once it's all finished I ask "was that fun." Daniel's reply " I wanted to make a spider web I could CLIMB on." It really is NEVER enough for that kid. No matter what we do we cannot compete or keep up with his imagination!
