My big helpers..







Today we decided that we had better clean up all of the lovely leaves that have fallen, before it snows. We were running out of room in the trash can, so the boys got in and smashed the leaves. At first Caleb didn't like it at all, but then he didn't want to get out...

Trying to be crafty...

I love how this turned out, I bought four cork boards, covered them
with some material, and hung them on the wall. I found the cutest
saying about brothers it says "Brother will you.. Build forts, Shoot hoops, Teach
me to skip rocks, tell me stories in the dark, always be my friend.. Then
I found some pictures of
the boys having fun together and hung them on the board.I loved this quote also:
"Life is a Journey.. And you hold the map.."
On the opposite closet door I will be putting a vinyl picture
of the Liahona, and a compass..

This isn't the best photo, but these are the new curtains..



I decided that it was time to add some decor to my home, I had fun making curtains for the
kitchen, and making a fun picture board for Nathaniel and Caleb's room.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out. Yeah!!!! My salon needed some decor on the walls, so I had some sayings printed up in vinyl and applied them to the walls and the mirror, it worked out perfectly! Next I need to get a coat hanger for the wall, some greenery and another mirror. Isn't it fun to make your home beautiful!!




My salon... The walls are still a bit empty...

HALLOWEEN CANDY.. OR SHOULD I SAY SUGAR HIGH......

This morning I got up to the sound of something falling to the floor, a big bang!! I ran into the kitchen to find Caleb sitting on the floor with his bag of Halloween candy, he looked up
at me and smiled, "Mom it's my candy, it's delicious !" I couldn't help but laugh!!
Don't you love Halloween and all the sugar that the kids get? Our kids will be on a
sugar high for days!!

Halloween Fun



Nathaniel, Caleb and the neighbor kids having fun decorating pumpkin
cookies and eating them! Yummy




Grandma gave Caleb some stickers, he thought they were great, the

first thing he did with them was start sticking them all over his face and mine!










This past week has been full of fun, running from one thing to another! Friday was the school Halloween Carnival, we dressed the kids up in their costumes and painted their faces, they looked great! Nathaniel was the reaper and Caleb was a leopard. They had a blast at the carnival, Nathaniel ran around from one thing to another. Caleb just loved watching everyone and was in aw seeing everyone dressed up, he didn't really do many of the games, but he found a balloon sword and had fun playing around with it. My mom came with us and helped out with the kids, while I volunteered. Thanks for helping out, it was nice to spend the day together! I forgot to take my camera so I didn't get any photos, so this week I will take some and get them posted.

Corn Maze

Nathaniel, Caleb, and I went to the Corn maze and Pumpkin Patch
on Saturday we had a ton of fun...

Caleb loved the inflatable pumpkin, he didn't want to get out, Nathaniel had
to get him of the pumpkin. Caleb cried and cried.

Nathaniel had fun shooting the corn at the target, he hit the target once, he jumped up and down with excitement...

This Orange and Yellow ramp was supposed to be a mountain, that
the goat could climb, when they make it to the top the people at the bottom
would send food up to feed the goat.. Kind of funny, Caleb got a kick out of it!The goat eating yummy food...
Nathaniel and Caleb in the corn maze trying to find the way out.. Caleb wanted to wander
through the corn, he didn't want to stay on the path..

This was fun it was like a sand box with out the sand, it had corn instead, Nathaniel tried to
bury himself and Caleb just laid down in it.

Caleb wouldn't go down the slide, he just kept playing peek a boo
