Halloween

Alyssa had her Halloween singing concert at the school in the morning.  They had learned a lot of songs!  Alyssa was a Fairy Princess this year.  She had fun with makeup and fake eyelashes!  After the program she got to come home with us.  I dropped off Jenna and Alyssa at a friends house so that I could go spend lunch with Melanie and get her ready for her Halloween Party.  It was fun to visit with Melanie and Cameron with their friends at the lunch table.

Neighborhood ladies waiting for our kids to come out for the school parade!  It was so much fun to dress up!  I forgot to mention that I wore this to Alyssa’s program and lunch with the kids!  Ha!  They didn’t know I was going to be dressed up!

The weather was gorgeous!  Around 70 degrees!  It made it nice trick-or-treating.

And here come the kids!!  Melanie was a zebra girl.  Decided she liked my wig I brought out the night before and we added makeup and fake eyelashes too.  Things will be crazy when I have 3 teenagers in the house!  Makeup will be all over!!

Cameron was a football player.  How easy is that for me!

Jason  was a skeleton.  They can’t wear masks at the school and he decided not to wear his trick-or-treating that night either.  I think it got in the way!IMG_4481

The little girls watching all the kids.  Alyssa is with her friend Taylor.  That is where Jenna and Alyssa stayed for the afternoon.

After the parade I went to help out in Melanie’s class with games.  I came up with the game “Don’t Eat Pete” but instead of squares with Pete’s on them I put Halloween stickers on and we said “Boo!” instead of “Don’t Eat Pete!”  This is one of Melanie’s friends, Humana.

After school we went over to David’s work and the kids trick-or-treated to the cubicles.  David took over Cameron’s costume from last year and was Napolean Dynamite.

The girls in the office dressed up as the guys from the Tough Mudder.  Very creative I thought!IMG_4489

Family Picture!  Jenna was an elephant here but wouldn’t wear the hat that had the trunk and ears.  Earlier she was dressed up as a pumpkin.IMG_4490

We had a great time that night.  Our friends came over and we ate pizza and salad and went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.  It was a fun night and by the end I was pooped!  What a long day!!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
