Everyone's Doing It!

I have put this off long enough. Everyone I know has a blog and it's about time I started one too! I'm not that great at keeping in touch, so this is a great way to keep everyone posted about what's going on at our house. Then again, no one will really read this, so it's a great way for me to get back into journal writing.

Halloween is coming up and that's all our house is thinking about. I have been working on costumes for our whole family for months. We recently dressed the kids up in their costumes and took them up to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. They got a lot of compliments, which is what I needed after all that work. Despite the compliments, I won't go overboard like this again. Too much work for so little usage! I attached some pictures of the kids (if you can't tell, Alyssa is Cinderella and Dallin is her prince.) I don't have any of the whole family in costume yet, but we are going to get some professional pictures done tomorrow. I hope they turn out great. If they do, I'll be using them for our Christmas cards.

We are also in charge of the ward Halloween party, which is taking up a lot of time. I've had to get really creative to make some carnival games for the party. We don't have any budget at all, so I'm scrounging around the house for things to use. I'm using old milk cartons, soup cans, old fabric scraps, etc. I hope we get a good turn-out and the games don't break after the first use.

That's probably enough for my first blog. I tend to ramble when I type which is why no one is still reading this.

'Til next time!
