Dinner Theater

My family has a tradition of making our own movie theaters at home. This is due to the fact that it is so expensive here to go to the real theater. When we got home from church Abbie was talking about wanting to make a theater. Riley was helping me make dinner at the time, and decided he wanted to make it a dinner theater. He got really excited about the whole thing. He made place mates for everyone and put them where we should sit. Than he made a menu for drinks and went around asking everyone what they wanted to drink. He went all out, and it was so fun watching him come up with the idea and than executing it. I am so grateful for the wonderful children I have been blessed with and what great imaginations they have. It makes my life full of fun and excitement.

Homecoming!!!

Terry has been gone all week and gets home today. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been an long week, but we made it. We had our moments of insanity, but mostly all went well. Thanks to all those who put up with my phone calls just so I could hear another adult voice.

Abbie has been praying all week for daddy to come home safely. Riley has been doing his best to be good so dad would bring him a toy. I am exhausted because I don't sleep well while Terry is gone. I will be taking a nice long nap tomorrow.

One good thing about his trip is that most of our Christmas shopping is done. Terry is such a wonderful husband for going to all the stores we don't have in Walla Walla and getting the stuff on our list. Especially while dealing with a head cold.

Hair Style!

I want your opinion!!!!
I am getting really bored with my hair and want to chop it off. I looked through some hairstyle magazines and came across this hair style that I am considering. I want your help on deciding weather to give it a try or not. I have some reservations because of the layers. Plus, I don't always have time to do my hair, and I am worried it will not look good if I just brush it and go. I really like the style. So what is your opinion, do you think I would look good with this hair cut?

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. Riley decided to be Indiana Jones, and Abbie wanted to be Dora. It started with Riley's kindergarten class going on a parade around to the different classroom at his school.

Than our ward decided to do the trunk-or-treat on Friday night. I guess there were some who wanted it on a different night so the kids could do other trick or treating on Halloween.

On Halloween we headed to down town for the traditional trick or treating to the different businesses on Main St. Usually it is a lot of fun, but this year it was so crowded that Riley just wanted to go home. By the time we got down one side of Main St. he was complaining and whining. I asked him if he just wanted to go home, and he said yes. We went home and went to a couple of neighbors houses and than the trunk-or-treat at the high school. The different clubs decorate a car and the kids can come trick or treating. The entry fee is a couple of cans of food that they donate to the food bank. Riley had so much more fun here. It was nice to see him actually smiling.

All in all it was a successful time. Now they have candy to last them quite awhile. As long as I don't eat it all:)
