Just for fun, I took some "up close" pictures of something sweet...Sugar! I just think it looks pretty. :)

Candy Houses

Today Clara, Emily, and I went to a Girlscout candy house making event. Clara's best friend Sheyanne and her Mom, Karla, went too. They had a potluck lunch and then the kids get to make candy houses. They used graham crackers, frosting, and candy to make them. We had a nice time. Clara's house ended up crashing though before we left. I think all the weight of the candy was too much for it. :) At least we got some pictures first.

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween. We went trick-or-treating close to home this year. We went to the school for a while because they had games for the kids to play and of course lots of candy and treats. :) The church right around the corner from us had a Trunk-or-Treat so we went there too going from trunk to trunk getting candy. That was nice because we got to visit with some friends that we don't see very often. When we were done trick-or-treating we got pizza and then came home. We were all pretty tired then, so we didn't stay up too late. Here are some pictures of my cute kids. :)

Emily was a Ballerina Bunny Fairy

and Ben was a Pirate Aaargh!

Clara was a motorcyclist and Allison

was a Renaissance Queen :)

Emily was as cute from behind as she was in front.
