Grandparents

Grandma and Grandpa came out for my birthday and Logan requested that Grandma help make our yard more spooky. She brought the ghosts and bats that used to hang in tree of my childhood home (see them in our tree), Grandma and the kids made these awesome tombstones, and then Grandpa helped put them in our yard. Our yard is certainly spooky now!

Halloween Party

We had our third annual Halloween party about a week before Halloween. It was so nice to have my mom here to help make all the food for the party, set up, help at the party, and then clean up! One of my friends also stayed for the party and it was awesome to have all the help! Here is all the food:

And the 28 kids! We had a blast!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so fun fun around here! We had our ward party a few days before Halloween and of course Ali couldn't resist the face painting:
And Halloween night was one of the nicest we've ever had! It was probably 60 degrees with no wind or rain; so nice! Usually the older kids are off and running from house to house, but this year they were happy to move slow enough for Jake to keep up, which was sweet and fun. Jake loved his first experience with trick or treating. At each house he would do the following in this order: walk up to each door on his own, pet and laugh at any dogs at the house, happily take a treat and stick it right in his mouth (wrapper and all), scream at me for taking the wrapped candy out of his mouth, try to go inside the house, and then be annoyed at me for pulling him back to the sidewalk. But then he would realize there was another house up ahead and happily move along to start the process over again!

My woopie cushion, super man, ninja, and vampress were adorable and so much fun to be with!
After about an hour of trick or treating, we stopped back at home. Jason then took Logan and Ali out for another hour while Jake and I stayed home with Eli who wanted to give out the candy.
Happy Halloween!

The Game of Life

Ali played The Game of Life with her cousins and loved it. She wanted to play at home but we don't have the game, so in true Eldredge Kids fashion she made her own.

A REAL Rainbow

The kids went outside after a rainstorm the other day and I heard shrieks and cheers, "A REAL RAINBOW!" They were more than a bit excited!
