What we've been up to

It has been a long time since I posted anything new. I have been really busy and when I get time to myself I spend it with JR. And that is usually just an hour or two every night. This month has flown by! I really can't believe Halloween is this Friday! Gracie lost her fifth tooth while at my Mom's house a couple of weeks ago. It was really loose and she refused to pull it out so it fell out in her sleep and she freaked because she thought she had swallowed it so she woke my Mom up and they searched for it and found it under her bed. Thank goodness! The girls even got to play with their cousin Madie, whom we haven't seen for a while. They made a fort in Grandma's living room and had a good time playing.
This Monday night we had a really fun family home evening. We had a spooky dinner with candles and Allison gave the lesson, with my help. Then we carved our pumpkins and lit them up to see how creepy they were. Allie still refuses to touch the pumpkin guts but she drew the face and then JR carved it for her. Oh and I almost forgot that we went to a Halloween carnival at the school and ate cotton candy while the kids played games and jumped in the bouncy houses. I can't wait to see everyone's Halloween pictures of their cuties! I will post mine on Saturday! I swear!
