Giving Thanks

I can't believe that it is Thanksgiving time, but here we are. Ainsley is excited that we got snow today, and all I can think of is the leaves in my neighbor's backyard that didn't get raked. Now I am not sure it will be done until May! Oh well! I am thankful for so many things, but my family is definitely at the top along with the gospel. I get to have my children home for the next week and I am so excited. I think the kids are, too. At least they are happy to have school off. We may even get to spend some time with Toni and Grandma Kathy. I look forward to pumpkin pie and having an official day to sit and count my blessings.

Halloween

We had a very nice Halloween. During the week we did little projects like making puppets and learning Halloween songs. Friday was the school parade and trick-or-treating on the Greenbelt sponsored by the Young Single Adults in the area. Saturday our ward had a trunk-or-treat. The kids weren't too big into the candy, believe it or not. They enjoyed dressing up the most. Ethan had 2 costume changes (Jedi and football player) and Ainsley 3 (cat, dinosaur, and fat pumpkin...aka..oompa loompa look a like). Emma was faithful to her cleopatra garb for all events. We also spent time winterizing the house and raking leaves. All in all it was a wonderful weekend.
