happy october

October 5, 2008

When the kids came home yesterday, they had
“happy october”
baskets waiting for them…


{so much for not throwing balls in the house…}




Then we put up the Halloween decorations today…I loved how excited KJ was…
as we were decorating the “Halloween” tree,
he was so chatty…

“Mom, Halloween is the last day of October.”
“Mom, I just love Halloween.”
“Mom, I love you, too.”
“Mom, I’m going to use this decoration to scare Sela…”

Our Easter morning began with a Scavenger Hunt…the Easter bunny sent the kids all-over…inside and outside…


{Myla’s pyjama’s never match!}







The kids loved their personalized M&M’s


Then we got ready for church, we attended the services at Christ Evangelical Church.
It was the best Easter Sunday services I can remember.
Thank you, Nate & Jackie for thinking to invite us.
