Halloween and Reptiles

My poor girls were sick on Halloween. I felt so bad for Hailey, she was so disappointed. Dallin had a great day, however, he had a soccer game, birthday party, ward party, and trick or treating. While he and Ben were out I bathed the girls and was helping them get into their pajamas, when Hailey looked at me in horror and said"What about my costume?" So she wore her costume and helped me hand out candy. She wasn't very happy that we didn't use the fairy face paints, but atleast she was able to wear the costume. Grace still refused to wear her giraffe costume. We had been talking about it since last week when we went to the school's fall festival. I thought for sure she would let me put it on her after she saw all the other kids in costumes, but she would have none of that. I even tried for the innocent pumpkin costume that she didn't have to have on her head, but to no avail. So we settled on a tutu, and I took pitty on them and we went to 3 neighbors homes begging for candy.


The girls seriously spent 3 whole days lying in bed or on the couch. When they were feeling a little chipper we polished nails and Grace was quite proud of how grown up she must be to participate in something so wonderful!

Here is Mr. Bones

Last week at Pack Meeting there was a guest from the wildlife refuge who brought some pretty exciting stuff, 2 baby alligators, a speckled green king snake, and a hog nosed snake. You can bet all 3 kids touched all of them. Grace had absolutly no reservations about these reptiles but she on no uncertain terms would wear a giraffe costume, silly girl.
