A few weekends ago we took the kids to the target children book festival. It was so much fun we got about 10 free books. The kids got their hands painted and got animal balloons. It was right after my mom broke her arm, she had to hold it up for 5 days, so we put her in a wheelchair with a box and pillow to prop up her arm and we were good to go. The kids had a blast and love reading their new books!

Halloweeeeeen

So I am an uber slacker and am just now posting Halloween. We had a lot of fun this year, we went to the ward trunk or treat and had a blast trick or treating with friends, and the kids got TONS of candy! We cut ourselves a super cute pumpkin, and on Halloween we braved the crowds at towns square and took kids trick or treating, it was crazy crowded, but a great memory for us. I let the kids pick what they wanted to be this year, I would love to have them match, but I figure they have to wear it so let them choose. Samarrah wanted to be a butterfly so I made her a tutu dress and some antenna, gave her some wings and she was good to go. Ayo kept saying he wanted to be a car car driver (race car driver) I tried for so long to convince him he wanted to be something easier to make...but in the end I went and got some black and white checkered fabric and made him pants and added long sleeves to his cars birthday shirt and he was good to go. So I guess if he felt like a car car driver that's what matters. It was so fun to see them get into it this year. Childhood is magical!
