M&M’s - melts in your mouth, not in your hands

For some reason when it comes to Halloween costumes we always seem to go as food. What can I say, we like to eat around our place. And what's better than chocolate?

Saturday we went to our ward party and had a great time. We had a BBQ and trunk or treat. There were also small pumpkins to paint and trick or treat bags to make. Some people went all out for the car decorating and that was fun. Jensen enjoyed trick or treating but the whole time he kept asking if he could have a donut yet. There were some donuts in the church to eat after we went trick or treating. I guess he likes donuts more than the candy.

Happy Halloween!!

Family Pictures

We got family pictures taken his week and they turned out wonderful. I had the hardest time trying to decide what ones are my favorites because they are all so cute.

Happy Birthday Derek!

Jensen and I made birthday hats for him early that day. That was a fun craft project. We used almost a whole container of Elmer’s Glue on the four hats. Jensen also enjoyed using scissors to cut up the paper for the hats.

For dinner I made Chimichangas and of course we had cake and ice cream. Jensen was very excited all day(really all week for his birthday)when Derek walked in the door Jensen ran up to Derek and said “ daddy I’m making pizza” What?! I guess by the time Derek finally got home he was tired of this birthday and had moved on to bigger and better things like pretending to make pizza with corn and macaroni and cheese on top according to Jensen. Derek got a manly drill, a watch, socks, gift card to home depot, a shirt, a tie and ten new songs from i-tunes. For two hours Friday night we partied to music as Derek tried to pick his favorite ten songs. I must say it was definitely a flash back to the eighties.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to get some pumpkins for halloween. At the pumpkin patch there was a petting zoo(but you couldn't really touch the animals, go figure), we also went on a hay ride, looked at snakes and other reptiles and got the perfect pumpkins. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.
