Hello?...anyone there?...

It's been FOUR months since I've blogged. I just kinda lost the desire around the holidays...But it's slowly coming back. I started creating one huge post but that got overwhelming and I decided to take it one post at a time. So I'll start where I left off...with the end of October.

Oh how I miss this green grass and blue skies. I'm counting down the days till spring! The boys and I love to be outside playing!

We decided to have a last minute, backyard camp out. We were outside one evening while Dallin was helping Bentley shoot his bow and he said, "Dad, can we go camping?" I was feeling bad because it was obviously too late in the evening to go camping and it was way too late in the year anyway. But to my surprise, Dallin said, "SURE! How about we set up the tent right here in the backyard? We'll build a fire and have hot dogs and smores too!" Bentley was soo excited! You know those moments when you watch your husband be a good dad and it makes you fall in love again? Ya, I had one of those. Dallin and Bentley set up the tent while I ran to the store. We had a fun night around the fire and a cold night in the tent. I won't lie, Jace and I headed in around 3am, but Bentley and Dallin stayed till about 7:30am.

Jace spent most the night texting. Starts early these days.

Ok, so funny story. Bentley had his Preschool Halloween Party where he got to dress up and take a "spooky, creepy or scary treat" That is what the note from Preschool said! There's only 6 kids in his class, so I decided to make these severed fingers I saw off my friend, Trudy's blog. Seemed easy enough. Actually they were a pain in the butt because they were hard to mold and stuck all over my hands. Anyways, Bentley thought they were cool, so it was worth it. When I went to pick him up, they all had these plates with 6 different treats. One from each kid. (All of them were store bought or very CLEAN treats) Then there's the treat Bentley brought sitting on the plate looking like a blob of cat poo. The peanut butter kind of melted into a gooey mess with the strawberry jam squished everywhere. In my defense, I assumed the kids would be eating their treats in class so I didn't think about how they would transfer... I can't imagine what the other mom's were thinking when they saw all these candies and cookies and then my blob of poo. That is honestly what it looked like! I know I would have thought, "WHO made these???" Whatever, I had good intentions. :) I seriously laughed about it all day.

On Halloween night, we went up to Mike and Cam's house so the cousins could go trick or treating together. We had fun, but got wet! It rained on us the whole time!

The boys were Transformers. Jace was Optimus Prime and Bentley was Bumble Bee.
Yes, that was Bentley's idea.

Watch for lots more posts to come...if anyone is still reading!
