Back in Time... a couple months, anyway...

So take a moment and go back in time with me...back to October anyway. Slowly but surely I will catch you up to speed as to the happenings, interesting and non-interesting alike, in the our little spot of the world.

October brought us continued nice weather, Bryce's birthday, and Halloween. Those being the highlights anyway as I can't remember much else at the moment.

Bryce requested a BYU basketball court cake (yes, that was his specific request, he even specifically stated, "Mom, I'll show you how to do it; You need to put a "Y" in the middle...")
True to his word, he spent two days making a diagram for me, complete with 2-dimensional basketball hoops at each end of the cake respectively. I had Marc go buy some small cake decorations as I didn't have any creative juices flowing and couldn't come up with how to make the b-ball standards, thus there was only one hoop in the set and Bryce easily forgave the cake-maker for not following his diagram to a tee.

Aside from his love for sports, he loves all things mechanical and artsy, needless to say he enjoyed the day and his treasure hunt for his gifts.




Let's see, that brings us to Halloween I believe. The kids had a great time "shopping" for Halloween costumes at some friends of ours. This dear family has four or five bins of costumes they have made/put together over the years (most of their family is grown and out of the house).
Here's what they came up with. Carter was Winnie-the-Pooh dressed up as a Bee.


Olivia wanted to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.





Bryce was a Bat.






Whitney fell in love with a sleeping cap and wanted to be a "pioneer granny".





For the first time in 3 years, Marc did not have class so he was able to help take the kids trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Afterwards we attended a halloween party with lots of friends. The weather was extrememly cooperative and for the first time in awhile, even Marc and I dressed up (well, we were forced to as this was the price of admission to our friend's party).









Now...time to move on to November...
