Do you see what I see?

I have felt, for some time now, that Kate and Bill Murray share a common feature:

Her hair is seriously out of control serveral times a day. I love the little wings she gets over her ears. And I also love "What About Bob?".

This, that, and the other thing

I think I have informed you of Kate's obsession with accessories... you know the rule about taking one thing off before you head out the door? Well, it doesn't apply to her.

This is the Tuesday night crowd... Alisha and I take turns making each other dinner on Tuesdays because the honeys have late class. It is always enjoyable when she cooks. Can you tell these kids like each other?

Kate also loves her swimming suit. She wears it all the time. I usually put it under her clothes, because it doesn't always match...

We walked across the Stone Arch Bridge. It use to be a railroad bridge, now it is a pedestrian bridge. It was cool.

Kate clawed Tanner's face... nice little sister, huh?
My children may or may not have received my dancing genes... I promise, you will never see me dance long enough to find out...

As for Thanksgiving, we spent it with some of the other MHA families, it was fun. Tanner has been asking for a gi-normous dinner ever since. I just try to make whatever we are eating dramatic in some way to make up for the lack of gi-norous-ness. So I hope you had a fantastic Turkey day, and that you all ate way too much! And a bit of a late Happy Birthday to Evan/Dad/Grandpa. Hooray! Peace out!

The Minnesota Daily

Tanner loves to pick up the paper whenever we are in the office... they aren't much to read, but they make great paper hats...

Kate hanging out, constantly distracted...

Tanner playing football with dad... great follow-through kiddo!
Short and sweet, just like my favorite kids... wait... short, yes... sweet, hmmm...

Happy Halloween...

Last week we went back to the Children's Museum and visited Spooky Hollow. It was really fun, it started out with a guy telling a fun little story of spooky hollow, you joined in by clapping and stomping and such along with the story. Then we entered Spooky Hollow where we experienced all the things from the story. This is the spider web we couldn't crawl over, go around, go under, so we had to go through kind of thing... it was really cute, love the museum.

Then we went with a few MHA buddies to the ZOOBOO. (I told you we would go...). The kiddos were sick and didn't get out of the stroller, they just pathetically raised their buckets as we went through the treat stations. It was actually somewhat nice because we weren't chasing them.

Oh my sweet babies, all ready to go trick or treating (This was Friday, a friend organized a bunch of families so we could go around the neighborhood.)
Walking home with heavy bags of loot... Tanner is a shark and Kate is a cupcake if you can't tell.Last night we went to the ward Trunk or Treat, sorry no pictures, they looked the same. And tonight, Tanner was very excited to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. He had the door open before they even knocked. It was fun, then he ate watermelon with Cory in his "All my friends are monsters shirt", this is what it says and also what he calls it.

I hope that you had a great Halloween and that you all have belly aches from the excess of candy hanging around your house. And a quick Happy Birthday to Randah and Emily, hooray for halloween babies!

The End.

The Childrens Museum

The kids and I went to the Minnesota Childrens Museum the other day with a few friends. It was really fun, I think we will become regulars. These are huge fish hanging from the ceiling like a huge mobile. They spin and stuff.

There was a little town to play in, they loved the grocery store, post office, and restaurant the most.But they also loved this place, they are on the TV screen if you can see them. They were rocking out to She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain.
We spent a while in the Water Works room. They had a big table of bubble soap and tables to play with water, and float ping pong balls through tubes.

Tanner loved the boat racing table. There are flood gates at the top and after the water builds up, you open the gates and race your boat.

This was a big area that had lots of nature scenes for the kids to run around and play. Best of all, it had a gate so they couldn't escape!
Kate loves phones, so imagine her excitement when it was nearly her size!
Tanner and I went to the creative lab and painted leaves.
The leaves hanging up at home...This is a cute little candy shop a few doors down, we stopped for popcorn.
We had a lot of fun, and we will definitely be back (especially during the winter months).

the kiddos

Kate's favorite hat... sorry guys.

Who doesn't love freshly whipped cream? We had crepes for conference breakfast, and this was Kate's favorite part. Yummmm.
This is Tanner picking strawberries in grandma's garden... obviously not a very recent picture, since we haven't been in Idaho for many weeks now.

Tanner and Isaac (son of Cory's cousin Rachel) running through grandma's garden... we missed the corn by a week... really? come on!

How do you sleep? Comfy, no?

Random, I know, but thanks for stopping by!
