October Fun.

The past few weeks have been fun and eventful around here.




Kimber got to go shopping with Grandma and Rachel one day and here she is all ready to go.  She looked so cute.  This was her first time wearing her boots and they are a little bit slippery so when they came to the door she got so excited she fell right on the floor!


The next day she got to have a special Daddy-Kimber day.  As this was Daniel's last week before starting as a Dr he took the kids out for special days.  Kimber went swimming at the Terwilliger Rec Center.  After that she got to go to the mall and go shopping at Claire's.  I guess she was in HEAVEN!  She didn't want to leave but she picked out a pretty purple necklace that she has been hard pressed to be parted with since!


McKay loves to dance!  He has been doing this quite a bit lately.  This is a hymn that I know is in the Samoan and Japanese hymn books but it isn't in the English one.  I love the tune and reminds me of when I was little and my Dad would rock me back to sleep while singing it in Samoan.


Here is Benson dancing to it.  Kimber wouldn't dance so I won't put that video on.  I couldn't help but laugh when filming it!!


McKay snuggles are the best, I was a little jealous of Daniel!


I look after Naomi every Thursday while Brooke is at work so here is video of her.  Proof to Brooke that she really is a happy girl while she is here!  It helps having her favorite cousin around to entertain her!


Here is my handsome Benson ready for his Daddy-Benson day.  He got to go shopping and bought a police set with gun, badge, radio and more and a motorcycle all curtesy of the dollar store.  After that he played at an indoor playground at the Terwilliger Rec center and then went swimming after.  To complete his special day he got to eat at A&W.  He just loved his day with Daddy!!


Here is my big boy McKay.  I can't believe he is turning 1 in 2 weeks!  I am not ready for that!  He is getting into everything now!  I wanted to put this pictures up so that Shar could see how cute he looks in this outfit complete with Oilers slippers!


We carved our pumpkin for FHE last week.  Benson was a little bit leery of putting his hand into the pumpkin but eventually got some of the guts out for us!


The grand architect for it was... Benson!  Daniel had Benson draw the face on with pencil and then Daniel sharpied it and cut it out.  He did an amazing job at the design.  I was so proud of him!!


This weekend was pretty busy.  Friday night Daniel and I went to Galaxyland for $5 each and went on a few rides each before heading off to a Halloween party.  I don't have a picture of our costume (pigs in a blanket) but here is the 'spooky treat' we took.  I went more for the gross end of spooky and made Kitty Litter Cake complete with poop.  The kids were so excited to help me crumble the cookies and place the poops.  We still have left overs and Benson will ask me if he can have some poop.  This is as close to having a cat as we will ever come!!


Benson really was excited about the cake, I promise.  I like how Kimber really tried to say kitty litter but I am not sure what she actually said!!

Have a Happy Halloween!  I will post our costumes and what not later.  Enjoy!!
