Halloween 2017

Happy Halloween 2017!  What a year to remember!  

This year we had:
Rey from Star Wars - Rebekah
Odd Squad Agent #1 - Loyd
Odd Squad Agent #2 - Xavier
Peakock - Maeve
Darth Vador or Storm Trooper from Star Wars, depending on our mood - Owen

Halloween Quote for the year - "Trick-or-Feet!" this is what Maeve thought we were saying at first until we corrected her.

Favorite Halloween movie this year:  It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with the best movie quote for the season, "I got a rock."

Big news event for Halloween - Houston Astros baseball team competes in the World Series for the first time ever.

 Maeve went trick-or treating at Trooper School on two days.  Owen and I joined her for the high school trick-or-treating fun on one of the exciting days.



 



On Monday, we went to the South Shore Ward's Trunk-or-Treat activitty where we got to trick or treat with our Church family and enjoy some fun Halloween themed carnival games and treats.  It was a fun time for everyone.  
 

 
 
 

 
 

 

 Finally, on Halloween night we went trick-or treating around our neighborhood as a family.  It was a bit quieter on the streets this year as many folks oppted to stay home and watch the Houston Astros baseball team play game 6 in the World Series (we didn't win that night, but we won the next and brought home the World Series for the very first time to our very proud city).  We had fun talking to nieghbors and getting lots of yummy candy.  

 

After all of that Halloween fun we eneded up with over 5 feet worth of candy! The mind boggles that so much sugar can be in one place, but we're not quitters or fait of heart.  The kids are doing their very best to make sure none of their hard earned spoils go to waste.  :)

Happy Halloween!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
