Spiderman & 50's Girl

Happy Halloween!!! This year Brody dressed up as Spiderman and Brooke was a 50's girl. We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat last Saturday and it was a blast! The kids are so excited to go trick-or-treating tonight. I can't believe how fast the holidays are creeping up, I'm so excited for such fun activities and family time coming up and our 10th wedding anniversary. I'm kinda sad to have to take down all of my Halloween decorations but more than excited to pull out the Christmas stuff! Santa is on top of it and finished all of the Christmas shopping for the kids last Saturday. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!!!

The Polar Express

I'm anxiously counting down the days to December 8th....I've always wanted to take the kids on a Polar Express adventure and this year we get to go! My brain has been hard at work trying to think of creative ways to tell the kids about our adventure. I definitely want to wait until the morning of our little trip to surprise them. Maybe one of Santa's elves will wake us up early that morning and leave a surprise on our doorstep??? So excited!

Feelings

This is how I have been feeling lately and I can't seem to shake it. I've been doing my best to keep busy, baking up all sorts of Pinterest goodies, getting outside, getting creative with crafts, and those things help but it eventually finds its way back. I'm really looking forward to General Conference this weekend. I'm hoping I can receive answers to prayers and to have those feelings that bring me down lifted. I have so much to be grateful for and I want to focus on those blessings. I love the saying "if we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back." So.Very.True. ..... I know what you are thinking, this is such a sad picture of Brooke! My little drama queen was having a meltdown because she wanted to take her ugly cat with her to college. I tried to explain to her that by the time she goes off to college she won't want to bring any of her toys....cue the meltdown. I should have just said yes.
