Halloween #3

Pumpkin Decorating

We decided this year to do something a little different and paint our pumpkins. Let me tell you, it’s the best! No mess, the kids can actually do it, unlike cutting the pumpkin, and our pumpkins will last through Thanksgiving. We might have to paint our pumpkins from now on, the kids loved it.

Love this face.

Halloween #2

Ward Halloween Party

Halloween #1

Halloween is for adults too! Our friends threw another great Halloween party!

We played a fun game of Pictionary!

This was the drawing of the night. I won’t say who did it but the answer was…. blueberry muffin!!!???

We had so much fun! Thanks friends!

.Organize Me.

My junk drawer was looking junky.

Even junk needs organizing.

.Organize Me.

It’s TIME! You need to go through your kid’s toys.

We need to get rid of toys before buying more for Christmas.

Donate them. Some people can only afford second hand toys for their kids so you are doing something great by donating around the holidays.

Include your kids. I make sure my kids know where these toys are going and why. They need to learn not to become attached to materialistic things and they need to learn charity. Ask them what they would like another little girl or boy to enjoy. Give them the choice of what they want to give up.

PS. It’s hard! Olivia has had this giant purple Care Bear since she was two years old. She is passed the Care Bear age so why are we keeping this? It was so hard to let it go. And not because I wanted the Care Bear but it’s hard to let go of my two year old little girl. BUT I have pictures of my 2 year old little girl with her purple giant Care Bear and that’s all I need.
