I went really looking to add another class especially at night time.  But they are in need and so I am going to give it a try this month and see if it works with our family life.  Monday night dancing here I come!

Tuesday we went to the schools trunk or treat.  It was crazy windy but the kids still had a blast.

I am training for a half marathon with some friends.  So I went for a run Wednesday and Hazen couldn't hang :). But sure made for a nice run.  Although I haven't ran pushing a stroller for a long run in a long time and man my arms were sore the next day!

Spooky dinners this week.

Pumpkin carving!

Then my kids were willing to try seeds this year and guess what...

They loved them!

Friday we had a trunk or treat at our church.  The youth ran the carnival games so I was a little busy making sure that went well, but it was a great event and lots of people came!

Our costume this year.  Wild animals with Alex as our zoo keeper trying to keep us all under control.  So glad we could have another year of family costumes, not sure how much longer Clifton will be on board.

Saturday I got to teach a two hour Halloween dance class with two other instructors.  It was a lot of fun!

Great group!

Alex out together my birthday present early... a dry bar in our media room.  No to fill it!

Sunday was Halloween!  As soon as we got home from church we got started making our spooky dinner.

Snake breadsticks

Eye jello

Throwing up pumpkin.

Then we went out trunk or treating as a family.

Stan the Turtle

McKay the peacock.

Clifton the bear - he had to add teeth to try and make it scary.

Hazen the cute lion

Then the money and zoo keeper getting attacked by a snake.  Another great Halloween!

Stanley was diagnosed with Disgraphia this week and his school/teachers have plans in place to help him do his best.  And they sure haven't let him down, they have been amazing. Despite many set backs for him he continues to work hard.  He even got the Star award for his class this semester.  

This week had a lot on my plate and a lot of things unexpected that fell on my plate.  Then disappointments when helping.  So there was a lot of feeling like I wasn't enough.  But then this guy gives me the biggest hugs and I know I am enough!  God gave us families to be what he wants us to be and I am so thankful my kids can help me remember that even though I am not perfect I am enough.

Love this boy!

Friends make the world a better place, and large boxes!

Last time coaching practice for Clifton this season.  It was not an easy task for me.  I often felt others were judging me or thought they could do better.  But Clifton did always remind me he enjoyed when I coach and I have seen that the boys have grown this season.  The last practice McKay begged to come with me.  I really thought she would hate it but I agreed.  She ended up practicing with the boys and holding her on!  YAY that's my girl!  And she asked to start playing soccer again.

Silly boy insisted sleeping with his sunglasses on...

And actually fell asleep with them on.

Saturday was family pictures!!!!

This ones my favorite.

Kids pictures turned out as good as I could have hoped for!

Seriously could they have turned out any cuter!

Started the Sunday morning with halloween pancakes,

Then we made a spooky yummy treat for our friends.  Then we went and had dinner at their new house.

One day we will have land, but for now we enjoyed their property and animals.

Such a fun evening with our friends.
