Halloween hoorah!


I have to say I really enjoy Halloweeen. I love the challenge of putting together a costume that my kids will just love. Of course they have the choice and I don't think I have every told them no and helped change their minds. So this year Bowdee wanted to be a Warlock Child, Matia an Angel, Treg-Wolverine, Terry a Warlock and me a Witch. So after a month of planning and sewing and searching this is what we ended up with for the kids. I was impressed with ourselves. We had all 3 kids ready and only 10 minutes late for their 8:00 class. I know I couldn't have done it without Terry's help. Thanks babe!

Last night (Thursday) we went trick or treating to the Heritage Center here in A.F. I love taking my kids to this trick or treating in particular because it teaches the kids it is not all about candy. It is remembering the elders who don't get to participate in fun activities like this very often. We substituted our costumes because right after Tia had her basketball game.

Which was fun to watch because Tia is really getting into it. Now she has learned the rules (mostly). And tonight she made her first basket! She is still the most aggressive on the team but good goin' Tia.

Tuesday night was Bowdee's last football game. Yes he played in the snow and they all had a great game although they dropped the ball a little more. I think it was due to the fact it is hard to catch a ball with frozen fingers but that could just be my excuse.

Then we came home and carved pumpkins. I love how my kids are so creative that they can draw their own faces on paper then we transfer them to the pumpkin. I was never that creative. I could copy faces but to think of my own it was always the triagle eyes nose and little mouth. I think they get their creativeness from Terry. Chalk just one more thing up for that man. What a fun week full of activities! Ya I love this time of year!

Football


So Terry and I have not been football fans in the past. I mean ya we will watch a good game here and there especially when the Utes are in the play offs. But other then that our football watching days have been limited to about as many games as I can name on one hand. So since Bowdee has been playing Flag Football he has really became a lover of the game. It doesn't help that my brother Kye is as big lover of the game and encourages this new love of Bowdee's. Every time they see eachother they start talking the talk and this and that about all the games going on. I have to say watching Bowdee play is so much fun for Terry and I. We really get into it and we love to watch him do things he loves. And we have become almost addicted to watching the Utes Football every Saturday for a couple different reasons. One when you have no extra cash it is cheap and something to do. Two because we know that Bowdee loves it and would rather do that than alot of things. Three because we love the company we get to watch it with, which is usually my parents or Kye and Em because they have the stations and big TV's it is just not the same on our 25 incher. Anyway I am just saying we have not done much lately other then watch Football and work on our To Do list. It has been such a slow month. Matia did start Basketball so there is another 2 games a week for us to watch and she is so agressive it is fun to watch her. So anyway I hope all is well and we will just keep on trucken. Hopefully we will be watching a little less football to keep us out and about.
