Presents

We had BYU-TV on the other Sunday morning and President Monson was speaking. Tyler was the only one sitting on the couch watching. I walked into the kitchen and this is what he asked me:

Tyler: Mom, do they call him "Present" Monson because he brings presents?

Both boys have been obsessed with making Christmas lists. Justin's list is complete with item numbers and prices. I remember has a kid how much fun it was to look forward to Christmas. And it's true...it takes FOREVER to arrive...unless you're the Mom or Dad. Then it's only 6 WEEKS away! Wasn't it just 6 months away?!? Where did the time go? I need to pace myself.

Halloween Visitor

We had a surprise visitor for Halloween this year. A fun little frog! We hear frogs outside nearly every day, but very rarely find them. Travis was mowing the lawn and mowed right over the little guy before he noticed it in the grass. I am amazed he survived unscathed! The boys picked him up to get a closer look.

Between my pirate and my S.W.A.T. policeman, I felt very safe handing out treats to 135 kids last night!



Happy Halloween!
