"That really hurt my feelings"

One night as we were putting the children to bed Hazel was being very non-cooperative, this happens occasionally, and Jared attempted to wrestle her down. She accidentally bumped her head against the bedroom wall. This house is very unforgiving if you bump your head on one of the outer walls, as they are pure cinder block. Hazel had a dazed look on her face as she told daddy, "That really hurt my feelings" Bless her little heart, and head.

costume fun!

We had a kind friend give us some costumes, the kids have had so much fun dressing up!

The Largest Leaf Contest

We have been loving the autumn leaves. The kids are always looking for the most rainbow leaf, and the largest leaf. We love Fall!

Balloons and Lollies

The "party store", Zurchers is within walking distance of our house. They give free helium balloons to children, needless to say it is a favorite with the kids. Hazels green balloon floated away, and Jacob quickly came to her aid and gave her his red one. It was sweet of him, but then he turned around (literally) and popped it on accident with his stick. It was a sad end to 2 balloons!

Off to find Zarehemna

Well we had a fun Halloween, but we have reached some conclusions, Halloween is a false tradition, celebrating death and gore. We went to our ward trunk or treat party and were turned off to Halloween in general due to the large amount of women dressed immodestly, scary costumes, and the general feeling of being in a room decorated with witches, skeletons and the like. We will be celebrating the Harvest from now on, not Halloween. Yes, it seems extreme, but we will still do costumes and large amounts of candy :)

Snowy Day

The Snowy Day started with mittens, and ended in slush and hot chocolate. Yummy!
