So, I've been told I ought to have a blog. So, for those of you who are bored with your life and want to read about mine, I'll be posting stuff. I can't say it will be stimulating, entertaining, motivating, or even worth your time. However, I'm attempting this for now. So, here are a few of my musings of the past week....

We went to a Halloween party the Monday night before Halloween. They said we didn't have to dress up, which was nice, because that's not my thing. Richard was Cookie Monster and Audrey was Tinker Bell . Richard would not wear the headpiece.

We decorated milk cartons and Richard thought that was great fun! I cut holes out of the bottom and then shoved Christmas lights inside. Richard really liked that and kept asking me to turn it on.

Well, Richard agreed to wear the eyes to his Cookie Monster costume on Halloween. We put Audrey in a puppy costume since it was warmer. We just did the ward Trunk-or Treat and figured the kids got enough candy. Then, we could just go home and put the kids to bed. We just didn't feel the need to wander to more houses. Richard did seem to enjoy himself. I had a hard time getting him to go to bed because of the kids that kept coming to the door. I don't think Audrey understood at all what was going on, but she did enjoy the Smarties we gave her.

I had a RS "Fabulous Friday." I don't like how my work looks on crafts and so I just bought the kits for some spice packages that you could throw in sour cream or something for dip. Scott had to work late that night, so the kids came with me. Richard had a great time playing in the nursery and Audrey practiced her escape techniques. A girl about ten-y-o volunteered to watch her so I could participate in the activities, which I appreciated. Audrey is starting to walk much more than she crawls, which is really fun. She takes little steps, but you can tell she's getting much more confident. She has also figured out how to go down stairs! I stay behind her, because I still don't totally trust her, but she's not had any trouble so far. She just is slow and careful.
