This is Halloween!

Here we are at our ward Trunk-or-Treat. We kind of have a theme, then we have a princess. Five out of six girls in Miranda's preschool class were princesses. The other girl was Jessie from Toy Story, who is almost a princess--right? Miranda kept telling Steve and me that we were Woody and Jessie. haha

Ready for Trick-or-Treating

Festive and Domestic

Here are a few of our pre-Halloween activities:

Cleaning out

Carving

Our finished product

Carmel Apples, if you can't tell


Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Aren't we festive and domestic!

Painting

So, we've been painting at our house. Here are some things I've learned about painting:
*I do not like painting
*The color on the paint chip never looks like you think it will
*Steve does not like painting
*You will not like color you chose
*Never paint your walls with flat paint--It is impossible to clean. Our whole house was painted in flat paint when we moved in. It also kind of gives you the willies when you touch it or rub it.

Here's proof that we did the work ourselves, if you can't already tell by looking at the paint job:)




Now that Mitchell is 5 months old, his room is finally done! Even though it didn't turn out quite like I imagined, it is now no longer flat and its actually kind of cute, if I do say so myself.

Here's the best part of the room...adorable sleeping baby!
We are still working on Miranda's room. We have part of it pink, but she now says she wants it seafoam green--I don't think so!

Child of the 80s

This has been a favorite around our house lately. We also sing Eye of the Rhino, Lion, etc.

Everybody Likes to Play in the Bathtub

Recently Mitchell has really been enjoying his bath.

The Great Outdoors

After being confined to the house all summer for fear of melting, the temperature has finally dropped enough to go out on walks and to the park the last few days. We love it!

Miranda being silly

(she loves the camera and wants to be in every picture)

Our Little Newborn

Our little newborn who is now 3 months old and is in the 90th percentile for height and weight had his baby blessing a few weeks ago. I decided I better post a picture now, before it got any later. He is a doll, smiles a lot and sleeps through the night--this is the best part. We are so glad he joined our family!
