Monsters and Aliens BOO

 Our last 2 young women's activities have been so much fun! Tonight we had a Halloween party with all the girls, which included mummy wrap, donuts on a string, Halloween family feud, costume contest AND dancing to Micheal Jackson's Just Dance THRILLER!

 Last week we made some Halloween treats to go Boo/Spook 10 of our neighbors.

My Mom Annette taught us how to make these witch hat cookies way back when I was little and we'd Spook our neighbors with them growing up. #nostalgia

I also took the kids to Monster story time and Alien story time at the library this month!

They do kids crafts afterwards and my favorite is the teeth that Kasen comes home and makes all by himself. The rest of the kids craft projects are a parents worst NIGHTMARE. Because the pieces fall off and they will not stop asking for glue and tape to put them back together again. ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY. #Trash

Tried making some spooky fun eyeball jello for the kids, but the eyeballs just float. Upside down.

But it looked kinda cool from the bottom at least!

 TAI

-has been super into Elsa and listening to Elsa in the car and having me sing the entire soundtrack to her at night. She asks for the "cutting the ice" song and "Elsa running away", but the funniest thing is that I have been hearing her say "I can't live like this anymore!" quite regularly. She is always wearing her "Elsa" gloves everywhere and even has Kasen doing skits from the movie, taking her glove, with her!

-Also, Kyle has taught her about eating bread balls (literally a piece of bread squished and rolled up into a ball) and now she requests a bread ball for her meals.

KASEN

-has a big wart on his middle finger that we've been trying to get rid of. We tried freezing it and now we're doing the band aids.  I love how he says "wert" though and when he traces his hand he draws a big, giant circle on his finger and tells me that is his "wert". Haha

-When we go to the park he pretends all the tunnel slides are black holes.

-He also can buckle and unbuckle his car seat straps all by himself, but if he ever falls asleep in the car he wakes up from his naps mid sentence talking, unbuckles himself and is standing up before you ever know he's awake! Instead of head popping off the the pillow, it's body popping right out of the carseat. So funny.

Other than that I have just been living in front of my "fireplace" AKA a hot light bulb. Mostly after my kids go to bed, wishing they had bunk beds. lol Tai keeps wanting to sleep in Kasen's room with him and sometimes goes in there even in the middle of the night.

But Peeka gets me. Maybe she is my kindred spirit more than I know...

We got to go to Payson for our monthly temple date this month!
