The Magic of popcorn

I don't know what it is about popcorn, but I swear its magical. Its brings our family together, quiets them down, and makes everybody happy, especially Abby. My kids always ask for it on a cold day as though it was a comfort food, but then i guess it is for me because it reminds me of home, Mom and Dad and sitting as a family for movie nights. thank goodness for the warmth and simplicity of popcorn.

Joy and Sadness

I find so much joy in having family close by, knowing that my kids know them and are blessed to have them in there lives, but it also makes me sad to think of all the many loved ones that live so far away and don't get to be as much a part of my kids lives. I miss you and thank you for all the efforts you give to keep in touch and to get to know my not so little family. We love you that are way to far away and those that are just rightly close. Auntie Miah And Abigator.

Sisters by birth, best friends by choice.

These too are actually pretty different in personality, but truly could not live without one another. I love that they have each other, and am looking forward to watching them grow together. Sisters by birth, but truly best friends by choice. Lyd's and Ellie. a year and a half apart in age.

Outting.

Lydia got to go on an outing with Aunt Rachel and Ileigh to lunch and out to do some shopping. Lydia had so much fun and came home with many treasures, One of those treasures was a fire belly Newt, (compliments of Rachel) but I have to admit he's kinda cute and the kids were pretty excited, sadly they named him turtle. I know, not a name you'd think to call a newt, but Brennan and I were out voted. So thanx Rach, for the excitement and fun, not only for Lyd's but for all the kids. We love you.

Two of the most beautiful girls.

Heat!

I took Abby out of the tub and she started to shiver, ( it was a cold night) but I couldn't get her to stop shivering. So I put her on the heater to keep warm while I washed the other little ones in the tub. It was pretty cute.

Look closely at her hair, it actually dried like that.

She did stop shivering by the time the heater turned off.

The snow begins!

We woke up to this a few days ago. Its was chilly I'll admit, but the Lord definitely knows beauty. I mean really, it can be forty below when it hurts to breath and your snot freezes in your nose, but you have to admit its still a stunningly beautiful sight. And when its not forty below it can also be a lot of fun.

Just the beging!.

Halloween! Heee, Heeee!.

Abby and Gab got a hold of the popcorn and had a ton of fun throwing and eating.

Jello full of bugs and eye balls turned out to be a big hit.

PUMPKINS!

I really is fun to gut and carve a pumpkin. And i love all the "ewwwww's", " its stuck to me", and the giggling. I know its hard to see but Jarom's pumpkin has a smaller pumpkin inside it, he's in prison. They all turned out really awesome. It looks big but it actually sits in my hand.

I keep trying to convince my kids that this experience is super fun, but I think they mostly love the end results, where as I love the gewy part and the smell of pumpkin. good times.

Ellie and her Witch.
