It's the last week of October! Scary, but not because of Halloween. Yeesh, the kids (mostly Maeser) are so excited.
 "Mom, is tomorrow Halloween?"
 "The next day?"
 "Another week?!!"

There is a desperate need for pumpkins here. We have resorted to painting clementines with sharpies.

We're continuing the tradition of homemade donuts instead of trick-or-treating, that we started last year. Maybe we'll perfect the art of making them. We have already perfected the art of eating them.

Dan's Dad popped in for dinner tonight. It really is the highlight of the week for the children. I can't wait until they are here more permanently.

The Sabbath is a delight. 

Conversations with Maeser this week:
"Mom, can you stand on a cloud?"
"Mom, you have to save me a banana. There's only 15 bananas left."
Life is tough when you are four, and you can't understand why mom won't let you eat 4, no 6, no maybe 8 bananas. But not that bad, I found Maeser on the roof of the car this week with Scout bossing him around. Check it out.

Scout is really becoming her own little person. She talks so well, new words every day. The video is her singing her favorite song. It is adorable.

And Dan brought back a Frozen princess dress, bad idea. She hasn't changed clothes in a week.
