We had a good Halloween. Our ward had a trunk or treat the Wednesday before Halloween. The boys had fun doing activities and trunk or treating. I took the boys around, while Rex and Kathryn handed out candy at our car. That night wasn’t cold at all, it wasn’t kind of weird not having to bundle up under/over costumes. I was kind of lazy about costumes this year. Ian was spider man again (barely fit him), Jaiden was a pumpkin, and Kathryn was a zebra. She didn’t mind the head piece like Jaiden did when he wore it as a baby. Rex took the boys out trick or treating around our neighborhood on Halloween. They had fun. Kathryn and I handed out candy. We got maybe 50 kids that came by. We had a lot of candy left over.
Updates on the kids:
Jaiden is now potty trained (though he wets the bed unless I wake him up during the night to use the bathroom). Kathryn still has no teeth and is not walking yet, though she pulls herself up on everything and walks along what ever she can. She is getting into more and more and can reach more. She can open the bottom drawer of our dresser and is quite proud of this. She likes to open and close it. Ian is still loving school. He came home sick one day (both he and Jaiden had random fevers one day). He got a gash on his forehead walking out to recess one day. He tripped and hit a metal door frame. He didn’t know he was bleeding until someone told him. We took him to the doctor, and they glued it. He opened it again the next week, playing at recess. He fell, his hand hit the ground, and his head hit his hand.
We have gone to the National Mississippi Museum and Aquarium several times. We bought a membership and it has already paid off. There is an interactive water part that the boys love to play in (it shows how locks and dams work on the river).
There are several boats outside to tour.
Kathryn spends most of her time there in the stroll, straps are good to eat.
A giant snake to play on. Jaiden wouldn’t sit so I could get a good picture of him.
They have a dance floor and costumes for the kids. Jaiden loves this area.
We also raked up all the leaves in our yard (we have two big trees with leaves and our spruce tree keeps losing its pine needles).
There were about four piles of leaves, this size, in just the backyard (the front didn’t have as much).
We had a good Thanksgiving. We had the missionaries and a family they are teaching over for dinner.
