Movie Night

11/8/08-On my way home I purchased Kung Foo Panda. I told the kids I would pop them some popcorn and we could all watch the movie. I was inspired by Jon & Kate Plus 8. If they can do it with eight kids we can certainly manage with 2.

Anyway, the kids were really excited and loved eating the popcorn. Ethan doesn't enjoy sitting for very long watching TV, so he got a little antzy, but after a while he just went to sleep. He must have been really tired because Madi was making all kinds of noise and was hyper after the movie and he never moved. My favorite picture is of Madi being a goofball next to Ethan while he's sleeping. As usual, I fell asleep for a little while during the middle of the movie.

My new favorite sound...listening to the kids digging in the popcorn bowl and then hearing them crunch it in their mouths. There was no talking, just eating and the great feeling of us all being together as a family.

Halloween

Halloween, I'm behind as usual! Halloween night was fun. We went to Grandma Sandy's, Grandpa and Grandma Bennett, Papa Joe's with Grandma LaVon there and then to Papa Sev and Grandma Annette's house. Once we got out to the highlands we went trick-or-treating for a little bit. We still have way too much candy and that's after Madi took a lunch sack full to school for the needy. I'm guessing a lot of the rest will end up at work.

Pumpkin Carving

The kids couldn't WAIT to carve the pumpkins. Madi took one look at the inside of the pumpkin and decided that maybe we should have painted them instead. She really didn't want to put her hand in there. Ethan couldn't stop talking about the smell. Next year we may be painting instead!!
