Sorry it has been a month since I posted. For awhile there in October Jason and I were over at my sister's a lot helping to get her house in moving condition. With almost 10 kids, they are in need of more space!
Soon we'll be FIVE!!
Well, first things first, we found on Saturday, Oct 27th that we are finally having baby #3!!! We are soooo excited. Lorenzo is convinced that it will be a boy baby, Claire is just so excited that she doesn't care if it a boy baby or girl baby. Both Jason and I feel that it is probably a boy, but a girl would be equally as exciting! This baby is due early July just like Claire. We'll see if it comes early giving us yet another June baby!
On October 12th we went to Lorenzo's school Halloween Carnival. The kids were so excited to sport their costumes and start Halloween 2 weeks early. Claire was a beautiful...can you guess...PRINCESS and Lorenzo was a karate ninja. The kids had fun playing on the blow-up bouncy toys outside and playing the little games inside. And of course what is a carnival without cotton candy? I believe I once saw on a package of cotton candy that a serving size is "bigger than your head." Looks like Claire and Lorenzo got their recommended serving for the day! :o)
Pumpkin walk or was it Pumpkin FLOP!!
All my hard work, many hours and multiple paper cuts all lead up to this day, Oct. 19th, the Pumpkin Walk. I wish I could say it was a HUGH success and that Jason is now retired, but not so much. I sold a total of, are you ready for this?, 3 cards. No, I did not forget any zeros, and no I did not even use one complete set of fingers. Needless to say, I was bummed! You no it isn't a good sign when you come home with more cards than you went with. To help pass the time I made a few cards, four to be exact, and seeing that I only sold 3, you do the math! The kids however had a blast, they played in the maze with their friend Preston Johnson, and even took a hayride, and Claire played in the little tee pee on display. I ended up packing up a bit before 7:00pm to head home, it officially ended at 9:00, but stick a fork in me, I was DONE. The weather on the 20th was bad, and I did not go back the second day, but it wasn't the crummy weather that kept me away.
Anyone in need of some cute Christmas and other occasional cards? I'm pretty sure I know where you can get some! :o)
Ward Trunk or Treat:
Sheri, Kayson, Shaylee, Marick and Makinzy came for the weekend of the 27th. Sheri and I had to run to Les Schwab to get a new tire, since unfortunately she got a flat on the way down. Bummer! They were able to come with us to our ward Trunk or Treat activity. We all had so much fun, and the kids got way too much candy! We had dinner there, it was a chili cook off! Yummy!! The kids all slept down in the basement, Lorenzo and Claire were up until 11:00 pm with the others already asleep. Claire ended up getting tucked into bed in her room for the night and Lorenzo finally fell asleep too. We had a nice Sunday, Lorenzo's teacher sure had her hands full with 3 visitors! Sorry!! We had delicious lasagna that Sheri made for us and then celebrated Jason's 29th birthday. We had strawberry shortcake, his favorite! Sheri was so kind and bought some of my card supply! Thank you, thank you!!
Creepy food for Halloween!
In the second picture, Claire is saying "goblin guts" in her spookiest of voices!
Lorenzo is saying "Monster fangs!"
For Halloween I made our traditional breakfast of gooey Goblin guts with blood, ghost toast, boo juice & monster fangs. For lunch we had slimy pumpkin sandwhiches, blood soup and eyeballs! Doesn't that just make you hungry thinking about it?!?
Echo location:
In kindergarten, leading up to Halloween, Lorenzo learned about bats. They made this adorable bat out of an old black sock. The following is what Lorenzo told us about bats.
"Bats use echo location because they don’t have big eyes, they have littler eyes than most animals even they can hear better than us because they have bigger ears even that they hang upside down. Echo location tells them that if they go boink to the wall then they have to go someplace else. Vampire bats drink blood and stay up in the night and sleep during the day they kill animals that kill our plants and that they eat insects that eat our plants and that bite you."
There you have it. Hopefully it doesn't take you a month to read down this far, but if it does, maybe you'll be finished in time for my next post!! Ha Ha! I'll try to be more consistent in the future!

O.K I hear Keaton crying so I just skimmed over it and looked at the pics. I'll read the entire post when I get a minute. Cute pics! Caleb taught his class about bats. I'm sure Caleb and Lorenzo would have fun talking about bats.
