Halloween Crafting

I have this hope that I will craft more with my kids.  That they will remember making fun things out of construction paper and seeing it hung on the fridge.  I have to stretch myself to make the effort.  It doesn’t come easily to me.  I am happy there is Pinterest because they tell me how to do those kinds of things and I don’t have to try to make any of it up. 

I watch a neighborhood girl while her mom teaches ballroom.  Then we switch while I teach ballet.  I think it works out nicely.  I just feel bad for her because my boys are unbelievably crazy and Lily is the sweetest little thing.

Anyway, I wanted to do something fun with the kids.  It took all of 15 minutes to make but they seemed to really enjoy themselves.

I present Tyson’s candy corn craft.

 

Hee Haws

This morning we went to Hee Haw farms with Tyson’s school for a field trip.  We’ve been three years in a row.  Ty loves it.  We did a hay ride, corn maze, pumpkin patch, petting the animals and the slide.

I remember the corn maze from last year and getting lost.  It made me quite nervous and annoyed.  Well, it happened again this year.  I swear, I am never going in there again.  I had to push Andrew in the stroller and it was ridiculous.  Other than that fiasco, we survived.  The farm is exhausting but I am glad for the memories with my two boys.

Hay ride which I think totally flared up my allergies.

 

Andrew was a little scared of the animals and wouldn’t get any closer. 

Tyson was waving at all the animals.  It was pretty funny.

 

Lazy Sunday

With church being at 9am, Sundays turn out to be so lazy.  While Andrew and I took a nap, Tyson and Brian built domino train towers.  Pretty cute!

 

And just so I can remember this forever and ever, Tyson said the sweetest thing to me at church.  We were subbing in Primary for the first half and Ty was sitting in the row in front of us.  He turned around and said, “Mom, I sure love you.”  Talk about melt my heart.

Monkey Bars, Uh-oh and Hello

Big day at our house when my 4 year old did this:

 

And I finally got Andrew’s adorable little voice on video saying his 2 most common phrases.
