Happy Halloween

We have had a great October. I'll work backwards since Halloween came at the end. We did costume recycling this year--meaning find something that is already in the box. I didn't get a picture of Alex before he left for his party, but here's the rest of them. SO, Alex was gone to a party, Kobe went and "did the neighborhood" with his friends, and Tia graciously agreed to take Brooklyn and all of her friends--so Steve and I got to stay home and hand out candy!!! It was great. I'm so glad Tia's friends did their party on Friday.


Of course the build-a-bears needed costumes too... (a knight and a witch if you couldn't tell)



I spent most of the first part of the month redoing Tia and Brooklyn's bedrooms. We moved the boys downstairs. Here is the finished product. (Actually I haven't finished Brooklyn's bedspread, but I put the fabric out on the bed for the picture so you could get the general idea.) Brooklyn's is the green and pink room, and Tia's is the periwinkle and yellow.


Brooklyn is so excited to have her own room. She keeps it absolutely spotless all the time. Tia, one the other hand, had to spend an hour getting her room back in shape for the picture. All these years Tia has been blaming Brooklyn for the messy room!! Now the truth is out--busted!

I did get a few good Kobe soccer pictures. The battery died when I tried to get some of Alex. I'll try for some indoor soccer season shots later.


AND......Tia now has her learner's permit. She said it would be too embarrassing to take a picture. All you Utah County people can keep an eye out now.

AND, AND.... Kobe earned his Arrow of Light and the All 20 Webelos Award. Here's some pictures of the ceremony. We are officially done with Cub Scouts. Amazing.
