Fall Break

 Tummy tattoos!

 The shirt says it all. This is Alice after a rough piano practice. But check out that cute spider hat she made in school!

 Last soccer skills class. Charlie in orange on the ground, Alice standing with flower pants.

 Charlie off to the left. Alice kicking the ball.

 Danny was content playing in the little forest hideout.

 Grace and some of the big kids whose siblings were in the soccer class kicked a ball around on the other side of the field.

 I bought myself something so I can throw together a quick costume whenever I need one.

 The girls made cookies one night. Cake mix cookies with homemade frosting and Halloween sprinkles.

 Crazy hair day at school.

 Poor sick boy missed the pumpkin patch field trip. He never did throw up though.

 Yummy turkey breast from Grandma Lu!

 Viking Dan.

 All ready for our first costume event of the season: the university staff appreciation night at the Natural History Museum. Viking, cat, Creamery worker, and astronaut. Grace was a little nervous going to a U of U event dressed in BYU gear.

 Charlie the cat arm wrestling with a Viking.

 Alice the astronaut tried too.

 Photo op with a skeleton.

 Hefting a sword.

 Viking boat model.

 Viking shields they made at the party.

 Forts and tent for Fall Break.

 This is what our chore lists look like on Saturdays. Paul took a picture so he'll know how to make them when I go to my cousin retreat in a couple weeks.

 I make the lists, so I can add whatever I want to the end of Paul's list;)

Firepit and smores last night. Cold!

Fally Week

 Alice showing off the Halloween painting she did at the painting class on her birthday. She is also modeling her new birthday dress from Grandma Terisa.

 Cute new birthday clothes from Grandma Lu.

 The kids have loved these balloons, but this one is more like a shrunken head at this point.

 He may have gotten up from his nap too early.

 Playhouse in the neighbors' backyard.
