Halloween Costumes-October 2015

Syd is lucky because she has a whole box of costumes to choose from-leftover from her sisters.

 

 These pictures are from the day Dalton and Syd dressed up for their preschool Halloween party. We got there early to take pictures of them at the park.

 AAAAGRRRRR!

 She should have dressed up as a monkey!

October 26, 2015-Carving Pumpkins

I'm not sure how this happens but EVERY YEAR when we are just about to carve pumpkins Brett gets called out. I am starting to think he has a friend call him and he tells me he has an emergency just to get out of it! I don't know why but it is just such a mess and too overwhelming by myself. Thankfully I talked D & S into just painting theirs.

 Pretty sure this Whitewing is a "Warrior book" thing?

Violin Recital-October 24, 2015

 The girls had a violin recital that was a costume recital-thankfully it was also the night of our ward party at the Peterson's barn so we had to dress up anyway. The recital was ok. It was a "Bach" recital with all of the songs composed by Bach. Sarah dressed up as Bach and then would go out of the room after each song and dress up as a southern hick and then they would play fiddle songs. She had all of the students play one song together and it was really awful! Syd leaned over to me and said," What are they playing?"! Madi and Saige did so good on their songs though and this was the recital that they had to learn "Boil the Cabbage Down" for and they have done some really cool things with that since. 

Quilt Tying-October 24, 2015

We always do something for a family at Christmastime and I have some fabric that needs to be used so I told Stef that we would make a quilt for whoever she decided we were giving to this year. The girls had never tied a quilt before so it was fun to teach them. They LOVED IT! They wanted to do another one right away but it takes me so long to prep it to go on the frame that it might be awhile before we get another one on. Brett was a good sport about it-totally helped. IvaDon would have been so proud! The girls are in costume because we were working on it before their costume violin recital.
