Happy Halloween

We started the day at the parade and dropping our party stuff off at Grant's classroom!! So we got these cute pictures!!

Mr. Melville

Mr. C

We had a blast helping with Grant's party!! Grant wanted dad to be Batman, not Prince Charming as mom had planned!! We also popped into Trent's party!!

The poodle stayed home with sweet Grandma Laura and took a few steps!!!!

I wanted a picture of her tail!!

Becker cousins!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Stanton

Trent and Grant made the haul on candy!! (Oh great, they are older now and care! I mean we have a lot!!)

Becker Temple Pictures

We went to the temple and took pictures on Grandma Evelyn's birthday!!

Reese Halloween Dinner

We had a Halloween Dinner at Jen's house! I wanted to snap pictures of the kids to make Halloween a little less painful!!
Our Poodle
Optimus Prime

Tron

Thomas

I borrowed Chloe Blackburn's Progressive costume and Josh was in AZ with the missionaries!!

Grandma and Grandpa turned themselves into Robotos!!

We made monster magnets, did the monster mash, and made slime!! Grandma Gayle gave all the kids hexbugs!! Blake was letting his go and said, "Mom it will turn off Ethan said." I said, "Oh maybe after running for a while they shut themselves off!" Blake smiled at me, "Bugs don't have hands!"

Welcome Home

Grandma and Grandpa left Bismarck at 4:30am, drove really really fast and made it to In N' Out about 45 minutes early!!! We are so excited!!!!! (Grandpa is excited they opened an In N' Out right by his house!)

Everyone made their own posters!

Jack, who was born July 24, had a sign that read, "Welcome Home, where have you been all of my life?"

Lydia

I have tried and tried to get pictures of Lydia's Halloween attire on her!! It is not working . . so here it is!! (Thank you Grandma, she loves Halloween!)

Money Machine

The boys sold enough cookie dough at school to enter the "MONEY MACHINE!" Grant got $7 and was able to do it after the sixth graders left the cafeteria! Trent came in next so we stayed!!

Trent got $8!!!

Blake

Blake was suppose to find the lid to the gray marker that he was using! I asked him, "Blake where is it?" He started to flap his wings and bak bak bak around the kitchen. "Mom I can't talk when I'm chickening!"
***
Blake got out of the shower and drew all over himself with black and red markers. I asked him why he drew on his body! He told me, "I am utesing myself for the game. That is what people do." He is right, at the games people paint their faces and chests! He loves the Utah Utes! He always makes the U with his hands!

Becker Business

Lydia loves rags . . she pretends to blow her nose in the rag, she cleans everything with the rag and she likes to suck on a clean wet rag! She also likes baby wipes for all the same reasons! She cleans the floor, her high chair, the wall, her shoes, the couch and her books! She is still giving bones and sometimes will blow a kiss. She is trying to stand on her own! I was folding laundry the other day and she got some of Blake's shorts and tried and tried to put them on! It was the funniest thing!
***
When Grant came home with his school pictures, he made a book! (Favorite toys at our house, paper, scissors, tape and staples!)

Lydia likes to eat string cheese and I love this Halloween outfit!! (Grandma Laura started giving her string cheese first!)

Blake made this apple at pre-school and I love the "hand" leaf!

Blake's "hand" spider from school also!

Came home from exercising to find all 4 boys in my bed!!

We found a yellow purse for Grandma Gardiner! After she mentioned her like for yellow purses at the Draper temple with Johnny and Jenny I have been keeping an eye out!! I showed it to Trent and he said, "It can sit on her lap when she is in her wheel chair! It can probably hold her pills and a snack in case she gets hungry!!"

Party

Grant took some friends to McDonald's after soccer for his birthday!! It was very important to him to do McDonald's and pumpkin faces for his birthday!!

Thank you to his cute friends for the fun presents!!!

He blew out his candles with his new whoopy cushion!!

After the pumpkin faces we did a scavenger hunt with "Grant" clues!!

We tried to have everyone home by 12:50pm for the Primary Program Practice!!

Halloween Party

The Thains invited us to their annual Halloween Party!! We tried to bust out our costumes after Grant's party!! It has been in the back of my mind with 100 other things going on!! We were so embarrassed about our costumes we laughed for days!! Sub par!! I honestly thought it was going to be cute . . I was wrong!! Josh was cuter in person, the flash made him quite white!!!
