Getting Ready for Halloween

This is a picture of Mark at Christopher's class party at school. Just when he thought no one was looking, he tried to sneak something out of the basket. Mark is sneaky for those who don't know, but doesn't always get caught in the act. A funny quote by Mark recently was when he was helping me cook dinner one night (he loves to help in the kitchen; a future chef perhaps?) and my eyes were watering from cutting onions. I said, "Ow, my eyes are burning." Mark promptly replied, "That's because you have onions in your eyes, mom!" Here is Christopher's first grade class on Halloween. He is in the front row on the left.

Our big pumpkin carving night. The boys are starting to be more and more specific with what they like and want. Mark's was a pirate pumpkin to go with his costume and Christopher's was a haunted house to go with his!

We have a group of moms that get together for Family Home Evening as all of our husbands are in school or work until late on Monday nights. It has been fun and this lesson was about Nephi and Laban and obtaining the brass plates. Christopher and Mark loved dressing up. Anna was obviously enjoying herself as well.
