End of October Fun

We had a few fun activities this month!
One morning the kids made skeletons from q-tips and I had a trivia question on the board. They were so funny trying to count how many bones they have!

Will and Tyler found a bug. They couldn't decide if it was a wasp or a yellow jacket. So they wrote down different characteristics of each and compared them to the insect. It was a wasp. It was really cute watching them decode this.

I made rice krispy Frankensteins. Only I made a mess and they looked terrible. It was truly a scary treat!

Frankenstein day. (The boys didn't finish theirs)

I made an all green lunch and she had worn all green that day. Her friends were teasing her that she matched her lunch!

Spider day-

I wrapped their lunches in webs

Talana went with me to the temple one Wednesday. I've been able to go most every week. It's been so great!

Will made a harmonica at Scouts. Lee was thrilled.

The eggs cracked like this one morning. I figured it was going to be a good day.

Tyler created this new hairstyle. He is hilarious about it.

Bat day-

For the Primary program at church, Tyler got all dressed up. He looked a mini version of my dad. This is one kid who likes "looking good."

He stares at himself in every mirror-- including the toaster!

I'm currently in the nursery at church. (sigh....) Will came in one Sunday and read to all the kids.

Playtime with dad.

I have no explanation.

I created this little garden bed by the mailbox. It's 2 bricks thick and I planted tulips in it. We'll see if they bloom in the spring!

Treats for the boys classes...

Will had a vocabulary parade at school. Each kid had to choose any word and then dress as that word. So of the kids were really cute! Will chose SONAR. He wanted to dress as a bat.

While there, we saw Tyler who had come to watch.

Amy acting silly after school.

We went trick or treating Halloween night with the Elams, Stutevilles and Olsens.

The next day I shopped for clearance plants in the windy rain. I found some great deals. :)

We did carve pumpkins one night. I can't remember where Lee was, but in all honesty he was glad to miss the action. Pumpkin carving is not his favorite activity.

And that was October.
