Happy Halloween

Last week was our ward Halloween party so we got to try out our costumes a week a head of time.  That also means that we have been on a sugar high for a whole week.  Just in time for tonight.  The kids look so cute in their costumes!

 

Frankenstein

Super girl

 Dorothy

An Elephant-- again...

I actually was going to have Lucy be something else but when she found the elephant in the costume box she insisted. I wasn't about to talk her out of it.  Lucy got a few costumes for her birthday that she is still might be tonight.  A benefit of having an October birthday!

 

 

Cheese Sammich

Turns out Lucy's Terrible Two's might be more like Thrilling Three's...if you know what I mean.  This girl is OPINIONATED!  Every day Lucy wants the same thing for lunch, a ham sandwich.  She calls it a cheese sammich.  It needs to be cut a certain way and and she eats it a very specific way.  Don't try to change the way she eats it.  It won't work.  Here is Lucy Baby eating her lunch in her very unique style.  She now refers to herself as Lucy Baby and I love it!

Sisters

Love this picture!

So fun to have so many of my sister's living close at the moment.  We had a fun lunch at Olive Garden before going to the Women's Broadcast.  Julia was LOVING the fact that she was invited to attend.  Natalie was NOT loving the fact she wasn't.  

Family photo

 The other day we found ourselves re-creating an old family photo.  A few of us are just a few inches longer than the last time!

Stripes

Lucy LOVES stripes 

She wants to wear them every. single. day.  When it is time to get dressed each morning she rummages through her drawer and tells me "I need stripes, I need stripes!" Depending on how compliant she thinks I am being with her demand the chant becomes louder and more demanding.  It's a good thing her wardrobe has a lot of stripes in it because if I try to put her into something else, it is not pretty.  What can I say, the heart wants what it wants, and Lucy's heart wants stripes.
