Dads-n-Donuts

Our elementary school puts on a dads-n-donuts every year and this year Bryanna and Gracie and Abby w got to go with their daddy. Since I am part of the PTA I was helping with all the food/drinks while Derek sat with the girls and ate breakfast. He even won a prize and let the girls pick it out )a ball). Derek is such an awesome Daddy to our girls, they are so lucky to have him. Me too!!

Sleepover!

My girls had their very first sleepover with friends. Our friends in our ward had a baby and I offered to have their girls over to our house. They had a lot of fun and although it was hard to get them to sleep I enjoyed watching them have so much fun!!

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween this year we used costumes that were in our "dress up" box. Thanks to Uncle Shawn and his international gifts to the girls, we had a variety to choose from. Bryanna and Abby were China girls and Gracie was a witch, wearing a dress from Dubai. They were all as cute as can be. We went trick-or-treating around the block and thankfully it wasn't too cold. There are alot of kids in our neighborhood so we didn't stay out too long. After the girls picked out their favorite candy the rest was bagged up and sent with daddy to work. We also got a pumpkin pizza from papa murhpy's. We have done that the last few years so we're making it one of our Halloween traditions!!

Carving Pumpkins

This activity I hand over to Derek because I can't stand dealing with the guts of pumpkins. The girls each drew a face on their pumpkin and then they proceeded to empty the guts out and cut out their faces. I happened to have latex gloves for them to wear so they didn't get too messy. We baked the pumpkin seeds but nobody ate them!! The girls were most excited about putting the candle in the pumpkin to see them glow in the dark!!

Monster Cupcakes

I made these for Gracie's Pre-K class Halloween party. It took some time but it was fun to see the end result. I got the recipe off of Familyfun.com.

School Halloween Parties

Bryanna and Gracie had Halloween parties at school. Gracie was a princess and Bryanna a witch. They got lots of sweet treats and had fun playing with school friends. Gracie's class put on a play of 'Where the Wild Things Are and then went on a "costume parade" at the "big" school Abby was happy to tag a long too!
