My First Turkey

I hate this picture of me, but I had to share it and explain that my good
husband has always done the turkey. Then I had to cook one for him, because
he wasn't going to be able to come with us to Driggs for Thanksgiving. He
was on call and can't be away from his computer. So I cooked him thanksgiving
dinner the night before me and the kids lefted for Idaho. My turkey turned
out pretty good. YEA!

Thanksgiving Dinner at Mom & Dad











Dave and I took our first out of state get away without kids
last Nov. Dave had a convention there and he asked me
to come along and it didn't take me long to ask my mother
in law to take over and I booked a flight. It was so nice
to take a break. It was chilly, but I was able to browse
around the pier market and the westlake. The only time
Dave and I were able to see the Space Needle was at night
time and it was fun. One day it rained all day, and I just
stayed in my PJ and worked on my project I brought with
me. I could of stayed all week, but we had to go! That
trip was our first time we ever gone together alone out of
state w/o kids. We need to do that more often, but I'm
afraid my hubby isn't a traveler, is why we don't go anywhere,
to explore.

Our Halloween Night

The tradition I have been doing since having kids, for all holidays & birthdays. The night before the big day, I would decorate the dinner table with table cloth along with a centerpiece, plus goodies for everyone. So as you can see our first picture is what I did to surprise the kids when they woke up. After J school costume parade. M and I cleaned out our pumkin! M tried, but he thought it was pretty gross!!! Yuk! I don't like it either! Anyway, M went to his afternoon kindergarten costume parade. I loved Halloween falling on a Friday, because it was early out and we had plenty of time of relaxing, making dinner (chilli of course, but they boys didn't like it!), but the doughnuts disappeared fast, and it was yummy!
Finally, we adventured out with A as a Witch Hunter, J as a Sword Ninja, M as
Batman. It was a perfect tempature with overcast clouds looking errie. We trick or treated for
almost 2 hours. And as you can see how much candies they received, and it was because we went to the houses in our ward boundary that gave out big candies bars and other goodies. The kids can't believe how big the homes are! (there were some pretty big ones), but the members are so nice and so good to us, even though we live in apartments.
I know the dentist wouldn't like seeing how much candies the kids has gotten, but they had fun and we did had to quit, because the Batman was needing to go (really badly), poor kid wouldn't use anyone's bathroom. So he held it for quite awhile. It was good to be home and we ended our night with a popcorn & movie. The End
