Cornhole

This was Kyle's craft project for the year. I really didn't think that he could pull off this amount of detail, but he never ceases to amaze me. He is quite possibly the perfect man. For those of you who don't know what you're looking at, these are Cornhole boards. For those of you who don't know what Cornhole is you are missing out on probably the best backyard game since lawn darts

Utah

We went to Utah this past week for Ky's brother's wedding. The girls had a great time and loved the fancy dinner, reception and clothes. I only got a few pictures, so here they are. The girls cousin Taya riding in the car with them, they were all so excited to be together. The other one is the three of them watching Barbi A Christmas Carol while waiting for the dinner to get started.

Hats

My dad sent the girls these hats from Nepal. They loved them. Here they are modeling them for you.

Trick or treating

The girls had a great time trick or treating, this was their first time.

Happy Halloween

The girls has a blast this Halloween. I let them put their costumes on first thing in the morning and they got to wear them all day. We went out to to store and they loved all the compliments. They got to trunk or treat at the church and then we went to Madelyn's house and trick or treated on her street. Their buckets were so full that when we went to dump them nothing would come out. They were both great about throwing away any open candy and getting rid of any chewy candy.

cookies in the milk jug

McKayla: "Mom, you are going to be soooo mad." (This is never good to hear!)
Me: "What did you do?"
Mckayla: "I didn't do anything, but sissy was trying to get cookies and milk."
Me: "So did she spill the milk?"
McKayla: "No. she dropped her cookie in the milk carton."

Just so you know, the milk carton was less than half full.

Me: "Alina, why didn't you get a cup?"
Alina: "The milk jug was too heavy so I couldn't pour it."

I still don't understand how she thought she could dip her cookie in the half empty milk carton. And I really don't understand how she got a piece of cookie that big through the little hole at the top of the milk.

So question: Has anyone else ever had to fish cookie out of a carton of milk? Or do I just have brilliant children?

pumpkins

We finally carved pumpkins this week, the girls have been begging to do so for the past month. We almost didn't get any pumpkins because they were all bad when we went to look for them. The weather has been so cold that all the pumpkins froze then rotted. Luckily Target keeps theirs inside, so we were able to get some. The girls loved scooping out all the goo and picking out a pattern for them.
