HALLOWEEN

Elise was a bumble bee for Halloween. We told Elise to say "Trick or Treat", she mumbled something like "Titi", it really sounded like she was trying to say "Trick or Treat". She really loved knocking on doors with Dallin and then getting candy in her pumpkin. But after the first house she just wanted to eat her candy. Dallin was a firefighter, he really loves firefighters. He always says that he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. He got a lot of candy and had so much fun trick or treating.

Family Slideshow

Family Pictures

We got some family pictures taken on Saturday by one of our friends. It is so hard to get a good picture of Elise.

Monday, Tuesday

On Monday we went to the library. Dallin was such a good helper. Jocelyn made these Superhelper badges that Dallin gets to wear when he has been a great helper. He likes wearing them. He also has other badges that he gets to wear for other things that he does, like being nice to his sister. On Tuesday, Dallin had joy school. He had lots of fun and learned that it is OK to express his feelings by talking. He really loves joy school.

Bath time

Justin has been extremely busy with school and church. So, I have been putting the kids to bed by myself most nights. This is a demanding task considering that I like to clean up their room a little before they go to bed. This is a picture of Dallin and Elise in the bathtub. notice in the background Elise's purple pajamas. I had gotten Elise already for bed and she was in her pajamas. I let Dallin play for a little longer in the bath. I turned around and let Elise wander while I tried to clean their room. I heard Elise let out a scream of joy. I ran to the bathroom and I found her sitting in the tub with Dallin with her pajamas on. So much for having one of them ready for bed. Elise didn't even seem bothered that she was in the bathtub with her pajamas on. She was just laughing and having so much fun.

This Week.

OK this week I really am going to write every day so that everyone can see what our family does for one whole week. I guess it'll be like a reality show in pictures. So, stay tuned.

Elise watching her brother

Elise is really cute. She loves to be outside. It's too bad that we won't be able to go outside anymore because it is about to get sooo cold.

Dallin Golfing

Justin found Dallin some mini golf clubs. Justin was really excited. So, sometimes Dallin and his Dad practice golfing. This is Justin's dream to have a golfer. Dallin loves golfing. He is pretty good at his swing and can actually hit the ball.

Dallin's favorite shirt

This is Dallin's favorite shirt. He asks me if he can wear it every day. It has a cheetah on it, and he loves that. He loves to use this hammer to fix things. He pretends that there is a loose screw on his bike and then he hammers it on. The nice weather in Iowa is coming to an end so we spend as much time outside as we can. It is so sad that we will have to stay inside for the next 5 months.
