Thursday - Chuck E Cheese

Thursday evenings Ethan usually has soccer practice, but this Thursday instead of practicing his coach took his entire team to Chuck E Cheese. They had promised the team they would take them if they managed to score a goal and they finally did. Ethan and Joshy Ikeda were apparently a great duo. Joshy would run the ball down, kick it to Ethan to score.

Of course this was the only game I couldn't attend as we were having our final primary program practice. Oh well, he was really excited and I was glad that he finally got to score. He really loves playing soccer and I know I am probably a little biased but I think he's really good at it!

Wednesday - Fossil Rim

Wednesday we were lucky enough to take a break from Halloween costumes. We headed out to Fossil Rim which is a really neat place where you drive your car amongst the animals. Pretty much like a safari, but any dangerous animals like Rhino's and Cheetahs are caged. They need to cage the ostriches, those birds are fast and mean!

Anyways the kids loved riding up front with us and they got to feed most of the animals but the best was feeding the giraffes. They stuck their long necks right into the car and ate right from our hands. The kids loved it, so did I!A car a head of us.

Layne loved it too!
They have the softest noses!
I was a little shocked when she stuck her head all the way in! Chloe loved it

Tuesday - Ward Fall Festival

Tuesday evening was our ward's Fall Festival. We all had a great time and the kids were pleased with their stashes of candy!
Ethan got a bit hot in his costume so he took the gloves and head gear off! What an easy costume to keep clean!!
I'm surprised we even have a picture of Chloe in her costume as she kept on taking it off!

Monday - Gymnastics Costume Parade!

Ethan goes to Gymnastics at Flips and they got to do a parade and some fun games like the Hokey Pokey in their costumes.

Halloween!

This week was a never ending Halloween party!!! We all had a great time and I know Ethan loved being Buzz Lightyear for the entire week! Chloe, well she just wasn't so keen on the whole costume thing!

Our week started on Sunday evening. Jessi, Kimmi and Sammy came over and helped us carve some pumpkins.Jessi and Ethan worked on Ethan's little pumpkin.
I opted for the electric pumpkin carver!!! Ethan was of course giving me instructions! Notice I'm nice and comfy in my jamies!!
Chloe wanted to be a pumpkin herself!
Pull Kimmi Pull!!
Such concentration..

Sammy getting out all those guts.
Look out....Daddy's got a knife!

The older girls left with Peter for a Bishops Youth Discussion at the Bishops home so Sammy hung out with us and helped Ethan and Chloe get ready for bed!

Best Buddies!

Ethan and Chloe have so much fun together, although they do have their moments!! Ethan is so patient with his sister and Chloe is so funny trying to imitate all the things her brother does! She really loves her big brother....Perfect example, she wanted to wear all her brothers biking stuff!

She may not look like she is having a blast, but she loves it when Ethan races her around the house!
I love this picture of them!

Have you ever met a former black person??
