Halloween Parade

Ashton’s preschool had a little Halloween Party last week.  Let me first say that Ashton LOVES preschool and is learning so much.  I am completely impressed with his teacher and all of the projects she has the kids do.  It is THE best!

So anyhoo, the parents were invited to come watch the kids in a Halloween Parade around the block.  We got there as the kids lined up and Ashton was all ready to go in the front…..

We borrowed some cowboy boots to complete Woody’s ensemble (Thank you, Aunt Koty!) and Ashton was soooo excited about them.  I noticed, as he was walking around before preschool, that he was walking strangely.  I thought “I guess that’s why cowboys walk the way they do, it’s the boots.”

So the parade started and my poor little Woody was falling behind quickly…

All they did was cross the street and then turn the corner and here is Ashton, in the very back…probably screaming in his head “MOM!!!!  HELP ME!  MY FEET ARE KILLING ME!”

Poor little guy, he still walked around the whole block with boots on that were a tad too small.  By the time he got back to us, he was walking slowly and all pigeon-toed and messed up.  Josh and I were laughing so hard while our hearts broke.

Soooo Sweet!!!

The other day I was cleaning or something and realized that it had been very quiet in the house (no fighting or crying or laughing or ANYTHING).  I went into my room where Ashton and Emmy had been watching cartoons and this is what I found!!!

Southridge Farms

We took the kids (and Kris ) to the Red Barn in Santaquin last Saturday.  We had a good ol’ time and I ate approximately 6 pumpkin donuts, two scoops of apple pie ice cream, an apple slushie WITH ice cream and a whole bunch of candy.  The next day I felt WAY guilty (not really) as I taught the Laurels about taking care of our physical bodies.

Here is Ashton taking care of his perfect pumpkin

Emmy was in her usual silly mood as she ate her ice cream cone

Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum

Last week we went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point with Angie’s family.  It was lots of fun, not as fun as Disneyland would have been (their original plan), but it was lots more fun than I planned on having that week!   It was one of the few times I have skipped Emmy’s afternoon nap and she TIRED and CRANKY, but we still had lots of fun.

Bath Time

I have to apologize to Emmy, but I LOOOOOVE this picture!  (Mostly because of that little bum poking out back there)
