Just some catch up...

There hasn't been anything astoundingly wonderful to write about the last few days, except for my sister's Halloween party, which was a lot of fun, if not totally sugar-spiked. The kids had a good time, and Ewan managed to keep on his crab hat for about an hour before it got too itchy. He was most excited about bobbing for apples, which he did surprisingly well:

He could talk about nothing but bobbing for apples for at least a week, but I honestly thought he'd freak out when it came time. But he didn't. Oh, me of little faith.

Sarah & Co. came as well as Shannon, Erin and Natalie. We all ended up in Ashley's T.V./game room while James and Bryce played an eternal game of ping pong. Lots of fun was had, and many messes were made.

I am usually a kind of anti-social person. I actually get pretty panicky when it comes time to go to some kind of event or gathering where there will be a lot of people. But lately, it seems I am booked for something all the time, which is good. I feel like a grown-up with a real social life and responsibilities that entail real commitments. It really is good for me. I'm glad I've made such good friends and that I have a calling at church I actually enjoy. Now if I could only prepare my lessons before Sunday in the car, that'd be great...

That's all I have for now. Here are some more pictures from our weekend. (Check out Shannon's blog for a few more.) I hope everyone had a great weekend and here's to a great week!

This is Ewan's pumpkin from Sarah's party. He dropped it on the ground when we got home and it cracked, so we had to carve it the next day. I'm the bestest carver EVER.

After Fynn started standing up in Ewan's old highchair that doesn't have a seatbelt, I pulled this one out of the garage. Look what he can do! Thank goodness Bryce fixed it, because feeding him had become impossible.

The best shot I could get.

Bryce looking a lot like someone who would steal beer...

I was happier to take this picture than they were, apparently.
