Our latest

Tonight is our ward Halloween Party (it's called Boogly Nights) with food, games and trunk-or-treating. I will probably put on my awesome bowling outfit complete with shoes (not sure if Kyle will again) for the party tonight. Kate is "Dorothy" and I'm going to try and make Preston a scarecrow.

Yesterday was busy, but fun. We went to a friend's house for lunch, made roll-out sugar cookies shaped liked pumpkins, bats and moons then, frosted and decorated them with Darbi and her kids in the afternoon. I also watched a friend's kid in the afternoon (he slept for 3 hours! Where can I get a kid like that?!). That was the easiest babysitting I've ever done. :)

On Wednesday, my parents and sister, Sara, came over to trade in a car and buy a car in Bellevue so they swung up here after buying the car and I had yummy taco salads ready for them. I made the taco shells homemade- so easy and so good. Then my ultra kid friendly Dad (for real- he is so patient!) stayed home with Kate and Preston while my Mom, Sara and I hit the mall. We found lots of great shirts for my Mom and Sara found plenty of things to buy too, of course. After Kyle got off work, we all headed down to Southcenter to meet Marci at Cheesecake Factory to have dinner. My Mom had made these cute pumpkins out of a paper bag and filled them with candy. When she gave Kate one, Kate said, "ohhh" all tenderly and went and showed my Dad and said, "it's so cute!" We thought that was pretty funny how she reacted to it. I'm glad she appreciated it so much. It was a fun day.
