Trick or Treat

Davis as the "Scary Skeleton" and kate as a "Cupcake" on their way out the door Thursday night to do some trick or treating at the Children's Museum here in Lincoln.

Sitting in the big chair at the museum

Our ward had a Halloween carnival on Saturday before the trunk or treat and it was a lot of fun. This is my little cupcake just after devouring a cupcake of her own.

Trunk or Treat

Our ward along with two other wards in our building had a trunk or treat Saturday evening. The kids had a great time and made off with quite the stash of candy!!

Some of our favorite friends here in Lincoln. (Above) Kate and Davis with Blake and Daphne (siblings) who are in our ward. (Below) Kate and Davis with Levi and Madelaine (also siblings) who are in a different ward. We love these friends and don't know what we would do if they weren't here!! Classic Kate can't keep her eyes off the candy. Kate was still saying "trick or treat" in the car on the way home. She said "trick or treat" for a solid hour, she's a fast learner!!

Pumpkins

This is the first year we were able to have pumpkins (we weren't supposed to have them in the student housing where we lived in LA) so we carved 3 or 4 of them. I thought the kids would love sticking their hands inside the pumpkins and cleaning them out but they wanted nothing to do with it other than to watch Mark and I clean out and carve them. Somehow that seems classic doesn't it, the mom and dad doing all the work!!

Soccer

I signed Davis up for soccer this past fall through the YMCA. He had a great time and looked darling on the field trying to control the ball!

Preschool

This is Davis on his first day of preschool! On the first day we ran errands in the morning and didn't take him to school until 12:30 but he was so excited to start that he wore his back pack into every store. He managed to tell every store clerk that we encountered that he was starting preschool that day. I was so happy that he was as excited as he was to start!!
