WOW! The month has come and gone, and well, lets just say that I am having a hard time keeping up with life! Here is a little sampling of what this "Rockin" busy month had in-store for the Stephen Scoresby fam.
We went to a Halloween Party at Uncle E-bays house. It was tons of fun to see all of the cousins and Aunties and Unc's all dressed up! Mikayla didnt attend this party with us, as she is much too big too hang with the family, and decided that her friends party was more important. Grandma and Grandpa Scoresby even joined us. Kristel and Ev did a great job! (We missed our Blake and Aunt Nen's fam though. We miss them!)
-Gotta love Steve's mullet and wife beater shirt. Funny thing happened though, on the way home from the party, we got a flat tire, and he had to change the tire with his wig on. I really did try hard not too laugh
We also made carmel apples this year. I have decided, that it is better too not go cheap when making these wonderful, mouthwatering treats. Kayla, Mace and I had a blast making these. Might I suggest that buying the carmel and dipping chocolate at the Bosch store is the best place too go. Oh and dont forget to wash the wax off of the apples. They were divine, and teachers, and friends LOVED them! I think that we will make this a new tradition.
Carving of the pumpkins-yet another fun tradition at most peoples homes. This year was a little different. All of our kids are growing up and thus, they have become very independant. They like to carve and clean their own. Although it is a wonderful thing, it tends too be very very messy. Especially if your name is Mace! As you can see I put a plastic table cloth on the floor and both kids are ontop of the table cloth with knees and arms in goop! Yes, we had to wash the floor, baseboards, and walls. Mikayla on the otherhand opted too not carve her vegtable, as she hates getting her hands dirty!
Late overs-Yes, we do not do sleep overs at our house (unless it is with cousins). Due to the fact that the kids do not sleep well, and come home cranky. But we do do lateovers. Well here is our latest late over this past weekend.
Mikayla was at a party, Mom and Dad were at a party. Mace even went to a party, but came home at nine. Meg had her own little party with her BFF Olivia. We came home at 10:30 to find this on our couches. Now mind you, this is not the first time that these two girls have fallen asleep at their late overs.
Here is Livy-catching a few Zzzzz's. It took me about 3 minutes to wake her. And here is Megs catching her Zzzzz'z. Good thing the house didnt burn down or that there were not any intruders. They would have slept through the entire thing!
And Lastly-HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This year we let the girls decide what we were going to do for the festivities. Mikayla and Megs decided that we were going to be a family of "Hobo's. It was a riot. All of us but Mace dressed up like homeless people. We celebrated with our friends the Ellis's and Tracy. We built a fire in the fire pit out front, and had taco soup, chili, cornbread, hot cider, hot chocolate and candy for anyone who wanted any. It was so much fun! We of course had fun music playing, and Steve set up a campfire ring for all of our traveling friends and trick or treaters to stop by for some warmth.
I have decided that there is never a dull moment in our lives. And yet, I wouldnt have it any other way.
What a great way too start of the holiday season! Thank you too all of our great friends and to my awesome kids who love too party just as much as their mama! :) (I think Steve likes it too, but he will never admit it!)
