Guess who doesn't do well in Nursery?




ME!!!!

Nursery was a little shorthanded today so the Primary Prez. asked if I would help out.  Can I just express how grateful I am for those wonderful souls who work in the Nursery every week?  I make an effort to thank them every time I drop off and pick my kids up from class, and it has always been entirely heart-felt.   Well now it will be heart and soul-felt.  And mind and body!

This was Bensen's second week of nursery and he does not like it. It doesn't help that it is during nap time! Even if I am in there with him he is always hanging on me and half crying.  Can I really blame him?  I felt the same way!!!








"Okay Juliet-- look frazzled!!"

My conversation with Juliet



Me: do you need to go potty?
Juj: I went stinky
Me: you need to go stinky in the toilet?
Juj: no, I went stinky on the ground.
Me: what? Where??
Juj: I put it in the toilet.
Me: you went stinky on the ground and then put it in the toilet??
Juj: yeah with my little hand.


At this point I proceeded to smell Juliet's hand.  It smelled like soap! (thank goodness!) Brett had recently washed it. 

We are still unsure to the accuracy of her account, and could not pinpoint any spots where poop may have been.  But really, we don't want to know.

More Midnight Mayhem

Instead of staying in bed Juliet decided she would rather floss.

Happy Sad Halloween!

Well, just like every year, I put halloween off a little too long, was unable to fulfill my dreams, and was a little disappointed with our outcome.  Someday my love of Halloween will trump my tendency to procrastinate, but not this year!  The biggest disappointment was our Stake's lack of Cult Classic Culture.  I thought at least 3 people would recognize Bensen and me, but to my utter dismay, not one single soul knew what we were shooting for.  Oh well, I guess next year we will have to think of something even more cryptic and baffling to other trick or treaters.


 Bensen as Captain Hammer and (a mega weird picture of) me as Dr. Horrible
Juliet begged to be a robot, so the day of our Stake Trunk or Treat we spray painted some boxes silver, realized it wasn't working, and dug up an old tutu.  She was a little bummed but got over it.




















We stayed in on actual Halloween, excited to recieve some trick or treaters.  I set up my mad scientist lab in the front window, turned out all the lights, and waited for our first victims!!!!  .............  Not a single trick or treater this year.  So mega sad!  So we painted each others' faces instead.  The kids were happy, I was the only disappointed one of the bunch.






Well, at least we know now for next year!  Stay tuned for our mega awesome trunk that we will be contributing to next years trunk or treat!!

Juliet's Birthday Party

Juliet and her bestie Hattie shared a birthday party this year!  And I made my first ever slideshow movie thing.  It was way too much work, so enjoy it because it may never happen again ha ha.

Pumpkin Patch

Man my kids are so unphotogenic.  I guess that's what I get for wanting to be a photographer.

I love love love going to the pumpkin patch.  Brett humors me!  Unfortunately Lubbock is a bit sparse on the pumpkin patch front, this is actually a huge mud pit dotted with pumpkins.

It was still fun though!
