October Randoms

Here's a lovely compilation of all the miscellaneous pictures from the month...

While I was in Vegas, Ben spoiled the kids - he's a fun dad!  Ice cream sundae night...

Paradise Bakery for lunch with dad - our kids are in love with their mac n cheese...

Jake was complaining that his room was too dark - so later we found that he had decided to set up his own space to sleep in the hallway..

Aunt Stefani and Uncle Aaron sent the kids a really fun Halloween box of surprises!  They were beyond thrilled!

I've been in charge of the class store in Emma's 3rd grade class - I collect donations from other parents and supplement the store myself as well - then once a quarter I get to come into Emma's class and set up a little store of goodies that the kids can spend their classroom money on (which they've earned for good behavior and completing assignments, etc)- It's been fun!

Getting the store organized  and priced at home is a big project...

One morning we found ourselves trying to stay occupied while our alignment was getting fixed on the van - we ended up walking to a nearby Subway for lunch - I really never know what each day will bring with the kids... everyday is different...

We took several trips to Goodwill to get items for Halloween costumes - I was so happy to have found a walker for 5 dollars!  Ben cut down the legs to make it a better height for Claire...

Claire likes to find unique places to watch tv - she set up a little bed in a suitcase while watching a movie in my room...

Claire is a ham...

Claire double fisting her favorite Halloween treat - suckers! (Can you spot the creepy daddy?)

Becca went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch with her 1st grade class...

Becca and her best friend, Natalie...

FHE treat one evening - two spoons are better than one!
