Happy Halloween!

This is for Grandpa Gummer, Grandma Linda, Grandma Greta, and all others who didn't get to see Linden and Sarah on Halloween. Thanks Carly for the cute Doro-fee dress as Sarah calls it. And thank you to Jackie for letting Sarah borrow your ruby red slippers.

Here's our Dorothy and the Scarecrow!! They don't even know who that is. I showed them pictures on the internet today so they could have some connection.

We stopped at the store to trick-or-treat to Grandpa Van!


Then went over to Whitney to visit Grandpa and Grandma Beckstead.


Grandpa built a big bonfire in the hollow and we had a smaller fire that we roasted hot dogs on. It was great fun!!


The kids had to sit with Grandpa on the four wheeler.

Hanging out around the campfire!! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma. It was a super fun Halloween!!

Pre-School Fun!

We have a lot of fun in preschool with Sydney, Linden, Sarah, and Maggie. Last year Sarah and Maggie just had to watch, but this year they can participate and they already know the Pledge of Allegiance just from watching last year.

We learned about emotions and how to handle different emotions. The kids decorated their masks and then we made faces with them to show emotion after reading the book "Today I Feel Silly" by Jamie Lee Curtis. Don't ask me why Linden wouldn't be in the picture with the girls. He gets his own picture.

We learned about pumpkins and how they can turn into Jack-O-Lanterns. We were so excited to have them feel the inside of pumpkin to experience a different texture. My kids wouldn't even help me separate out the seeds after I had taken them out. Maggie stuck her hand in and Sydney got into it later.
Linden and Sarah thought it was cool to carve the pumpkin and got excited at this point. They also enjoyed eating the pumpkin seeds that we roasted from inside our pumpkins.

This picture has nothing to do with preschool. We got ready to go somewhere and I took a picture of them. Linden calls these clothes his "Handsome" Clothes. These two are so fun!!
