"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

November


Ephraim is really into containers and their lids lately.  It occupies him while I make dinner so I like it!


This was our last nice Saturday, we spent it raking up all the leaves, the weather has turned super cold!




I'm sad I'm not a food photographer, these cranberry/orange biscuits were a lot better than they look!  Thanksgiving was very non-traditional.  We had BBQ pork riblets and baked potatoes and only stuffing because I had a box I got for free :)  Sometimes life just needs to be easy though!

I missed Halloween!

What is October without Halloween?


And, I threw in this little gem of Madelyn sleeping with a stuffed puppy stuffed in her PJ's :)


Ladybug, in case it wasn't obvious...


Indian Princess, not to be confused with Pocahontas


Candy Corn, don't you just want to eat him!

Thaddeus was MIA when I took pictures, I'll have to have him dress up, again, and take a picture.  He was a policeman.

We just went trick or treating around our neighborhood.  We got plenty of candy, in fact I haven't even let them dip into it much because they all have cough's and runny noses and I want them to get better so we can go visit family soon!
