Here is a summary of what we did:

Playing in the Rain
As soon as the kids saw that it was raining, they ran outside to play. I quickly followed with the camera. At first Kyle was a little unsure of the raindrops, but he soon joined the kids jumping on the tramp in the rain. Of course they started posing and doing tricks for the camera, but I guess I would be worried about them if they didn't.

Curly, Curly, Curly
Aunt Jamie found these fun new curlers for us to try. You can see what they look like here:

It took me about an hour, but I got curls in all four girls. They said they were a little uncomfortable to sleep in, but they all loved how they look. Here is a picture of Katie with her cute curls that Kelsie took. You can see pictures of Rachel and Brinlee in their curly hair for Halloween (later in post.)

Kindergarten Field Trip
I got to go on the twins first field trip this year. We went to Hee Haw Farms, they have a corn maze, slides, pumpkin patch, hay ride, etc. They even have a 1000 pound pig named Larry!! Katelyn and Austin had their first bus ride ever, they loved it a lot more than mom did. Overall we had a great time, and even though we got a little lost in the maze at least I didn't have any of the kids take off and get lost (that is what happened last year when I went with Brinlee's class).

First Snow!
We were shocked to wake up to nearly 3 inches of snow. Before church Rachel wanted to get some pictures, so she went out on the deck in her jammies. Since it was still snowing when we got home from church, she took the camera out on her own and here are some of the pictures she took. The snow didn't last long, but it was a pretty good storm for the first one of the year. I hope we don't get to many more of these before winter, we need to get the house done first!!

Kelsie, Rachel and Brinlee take trip to North Carolina
The girls went to visit my sister Melissa and her family with my parents. They had a great time and my nephew Dallin loved having them around. I was sad that we all couldn't go, but things were to busy with the house and Jason and I couldn't leave.

Witch Festival
While the girls were in North Carolina, we went to the Witch Festival at Gardner's Village. We went with Aunt Angi, Kennadi, Lexi, Aunt Lara, Sara and Blake. The only drawback was that nearly the entire state of Utah was at the Witch Festival that day as well. But even with the crowds we had a great time. The kids loved seeing the different witch displays, and doing the game to find all of them. There favorite witch was the one stuck to the side of the building who apparently needs some flying lessons.

We've got Drywall!!
This construction process has been long, and the kids (OK, Jason and I as well) have been anxious to see the house really take shape. Once the drywall was up we could really see what it was going to look and feel like. The kids love running from room to room and especially in the tunnels in the youngest kid rooms. Everyone had to get a picture in their new room, and of course I had to get one of the kids in front of the fire place. Most of the brick on the back side of the house is done as well, so we are making progress.

Halloween
We started out the day with the parade at school. This is the first year at this elementary school and it is a lot larger school then the one they went to before. The parade took forever, but Kyle wasn't bored. It was weird not recognizing anyone but my own kids. After school we were the first ones in our neighborhood to go out trick or treating, they left the house right before it turned dark. The kids had a great time. Kyle loved knocking on the doors and trying to say Trick or Treat, it came out more like rick reat, but everyone seemed to get the idea because he came home with a lot of candy. Kelsie thought she was to old to dress up, but I made her take pictures anyway. Her friends mom hosted a party (we all donated candy, so the kids still got their fix, but they stayed home and off the street, SO SMART!!!) Rachel had a friend over to go around our neighborhood, then they went to her neighborhood, twice the candy. Everyone else went to grandma's for yummy chili and scones. Overall it was a great day.
