Our past adventures

So everytime I get on here (which is about everyday) I think to myself "I need to update this". Then I put it off because I have so many other things to do and it gets pushed back and back and back. Now it has been over a month (again) and I have finally decided to update since we now have Halloween pictures. So I put the camera card into the computer and find all these pictures of the last month that I want to add. So I add them and remember all the fun things we have done during the past weeks.

Ethan's Silly teeth.

Our trip to Gilcrease Orchard with Grandma Armitstead. We picked some apples and then the kids got to each pick a pumpkin. (Too bad a mouse ate a hole in Ashley's pumpkin before Halloween.)

Ashley's rice krispy treat cake made by Mom for her birthday party with Grandma Armitstead and Uncle Cory and Aunt Lindsey (and baby Avery). You can see she is wearing one of her presents (the wings, halo, wand, and a tutu that you can't see).

Decorating Halloween cookies. Ethan thought that he was the only who got to eat the ones he decorated. Ashley and Sam both decorated one and then ate it. Then Ashley decorated a few more with about a pound of sprinkles (which Mom later ate). Then Sam decided to help Mom decorate some more.

Ashley and Sam both went to a Halloween party put on by a girl in the ward that does a playgroup. Ashley was Snow White and Sam wouldn't wear his Superman costume so he was going to be a devil, but once we got to the party he would no longer wear the devil horns, not even for a picture. Stinker.

Since Ashley's red blanket is starting to wear around the edges we decided it was time to replace it since she won't just give it up. So we took her to the fabric store and let her pick out some material that she wanted a new blanket out of. I got it quilted and put together and she has been enjoying it. The first few days she carried both the old and new blanket around, but now is only carrying around the new one. Now it's time to wash the old one and put it away. (You can see the new one laid out on the floor with Ashley and Sam sitting on it and Ashley is holding the old one on her lap).
