This last week was a fun and busy one. On Sunday the kids and I went to a trunk or treat at Rilyn's school. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved dressing up and getting candy. They looked so cute as Jake and Izzy.
Monday and Tuesday the kids were stuck at home all day because we were supposed to get hit by Hurricane Sandy. While we got lots of rain and some strong wind we were very lucky to not get hit hard. The biggest challenge we had to face was boredom because school was cancelled and most of the kids toys are packed for the move already. Rilyn is very inventive and decided that they could pretend to go snorkling one day.
They used straws as snorkles and ran around the house "swimming" and looking at things. Luckily by Halloween things were back to normal. We went to watch Rilyn in her schools costume parade
and then that night we went to our ward trunk or treat.
The kids had lots of fun playing games and getting even more candy. Friday we threw a shower for Cassidy and her baby boy. Casen helped me pick up some balloons while Rilyn was at school. He was totally freaked out by all of the balloons in the car.
He is such a funny kid. And to finish this whirl wind of a week we decided to "run" a turkey trot.
Since Cody was out of town it was me and the kids without my jogging stroller. Sad. Rilyn started the race running and yelling at me to run too. She made it a few blocks and then jumped in the stroller. We made pretty good time and Rilyn jumped out at the very end to finish the race running. I'm happy to report that we did not come in last but we were the only group of a mom with a stroller and 2 kids. Some guy that saw me during the race asked if I counted as 3 and I said NO 5! He looked a little confused and I was on a mission to not come in last so I couldn't stop and explain. Oh and did I mention it was a nice and tosty 40 degrees while we did this race! After the race we went to Home Depot to build something. The kids made these facncy turkey napkin holders which are now sitting on our kitchen table.

How fun! The kids look so cute and I am glad Hurricane Sandy didn't wreak too much havoc for you. When's the big move, you me and Chrissy should get lunch like old times.
