October

It's been a crazy month! We've done a lot, and had a good time doing it. Somewhere in there we went free apple picking, visited the widows in the ward, and enjoyed General Conference. The first session of each day was hard, but we got Dustin to nap during the second and bribed Logan with TONS of junk food. We had to make rules like (1) you can only snack during the songs and (2) The Day of Rest does not mean it's time to Wrestle. Even if it sounds similar.

Last weekend we picked pumpkins. Dave, Dustin and I picked big ones, and Logan wanted his to be different and get a little one. He's been sleeping with it at night and reads books to it. This year he's excited to carve his pumpkin too.

For FHE this week we made salt dough Halloween shapes and painted them. The boys had so much fun painting them. As we were painting, they would tell me "I want to give this one to Grandma/Grandpa/my teacher/etc." so we have a stack of decorations to give away!

I've also been sewing like crazy trying to get ready for Halloween. Logan decided he and Dustin are going to be Buzz and Woody. So I have sewn Dustin his costume, and Logan's is in the works. I sewed his shirt and gloves, and have the pattern for his hat. They've been practicing trick or treating too.

I've started watching a friend's two kids (2 years & 5 months) one day a week. Logan's at preschool in the morning and with naps for the little people he doesn't get to play much, but Dustin LOVES playing with his friends! And both boys just love baby Jovi. The boys fight over who gets to feed her and keep her happy. It's been fun.
