Happy Halloween

Pete didn't dress up, that is why he isn't in the photos. We went to Ben and Heather's house for their annual Halloween party. Then we went and trick or treated around their neighbourhood. The kids had a great time, the adults froze!

A great time was had by all overall though.

The first hail of the year

It was really soft hail, more of a flaky consistency than ice, but still great fun.

I was busy practicing putting curlers in when we looked outside and discovered the hail, thus the curly hair or curlers. Doesn't she look like a granny.I love this one, he was so freezing. But look at his brother with no coat or shoes on!

Preston Temple

We were privileged to attend the Preston Temple last week end. We flew out on Thursday and came back on Saturday (23rd-25th). I am so, so, so grateful for the temple, and also for those who helped me to get there (you know who you are, thank you, and I love you both for making it possible for me, you may never know how much that meant to me.) And to those who were a comfort and support when I needed it. And of course thanks to Pete for having the kids while I was away, I love you.

This is a dear sister in our ward who was going to the temple for her first time. What a special experience to share with her.And this is all 8 of us. It was a stake temple trip, but these are the sisters from our ward who all traveled together.

Running a Charity Shop?

Pete came into the lounge when we were busy getting one suite in and the old ones out. He just laughed at the sight. We had just gotten the green ones and were getting rid of the others. (not the two cream lazy boys though) And it has all been free! Thank you to everyone who has thrown their old couches our way.

How to shower with a cast on your arm

Not very glamorous, but there it is.

And perhaps a slight resemblance to Hellboy?

Look at our talented grain

You all know the story of the little red hen and the grains of wheat. Where the friends kept on saying they wouldn't help until the bread was made and then they wanted to eat some.

Well Corbin was a fantastic grain of wheat! He is the one on the right. He was great, just what a grain of wheat should be ;-)
