Hope you are all doing good. Thought I would just pop in and let you know we are all alive and kicking well. My truck isn't, Page's leg was almost broke. But really life is good. I've had serious issues with my internet lately so I don't do much at all except get on and pay some bills, a few other things (like downloading a new <a href="http://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/2012/06/giveaway-pirate-pals-pack.html">preschool pirate pack </a>from Dawn at <a href="http://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/">Our Little Monkeys</a>). Hopefully in like October we will have internet up and running good again, until then, I may continue my little siesta from blogging, until then.<br />
Anyways here is a fun new picture of our newest babies.<br />

Up to no good!!!<br />
Hope you are having a great Spring!Marlynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998634957485219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881471759379072601.post-42174037356540440802012-03-07T16:19:00.002-08:002012-03-07T16:19:39.671-08:00Living like no one else."Live like no one else, so later you can live like no one else."<br />
Have you heard this before?<br />
Yes it is a Dave Ramsey saying.<br />
It's my motto to finances.<br />
So as you probably know we are only down to owing on our land, which we would have to sell 114 steers to pay it off as of today. Seeing how we only have 30 cows on the place and only about half are at reproducing age, that number is a little disheartening. But really I can't complain, we have a 160 acres that we got at a BARGAIN price, seriously you can get about 5 acres for the price we paid, (ya we are lucky).<br />
Anyways onto the post.<br />
So since we are so debt disgusted right now (thanks to watching others make stupid mistakes). We have decided we are going to super pay our land off and then save to build our house (I'm estimating at about 300k), when should this all be completed...in about 5 years!!!<br />
I'm so EXCITED!!!<br />
I can handle this little POS house I live in (I may actually miss it) for the chance to build my dream house with cash, for that long.<br />
I can handle Koda working the job he works for that long.<br />
I will make do with the vehicles we have for that long.<br />
Especially if we can be living in our custom built house, debt free, on our farm by the time I'm 30.<br />
Now you may call me crazy and that this is an unrealistic venture.<br />
But that's ok, cause it's me who will be smiling in the end. :)<br />
Oh and yes, if I have to extend this timeline out to 10 years, I'm still doing it.<br />
Wish me luck!<br />
<br />

Crazy fun with all the drama you can imagine from a household with three little girls.<br />
They have all started into a fighting/biting each other stage.<br />
I have no idea how to deal with this.<br />
Some exciting news, we have paid off all our extra loans. We now only have the land loan! So happy.<br />
Anyways Melody is fighting me for the computer so I'm going to get off.<br />
Enjoy the pictures of our life lately.<br />

These will affect farm families immensely! Please read this article <a href="http://chrischinn.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/will-my-children-be-allowed-to-work-on-our-farm/">Will My Children Be Allowed to Farm.</a> Watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nYJbJIPTXok">YouTube Video</a>. Please inform the Department of Labor that we want this proposal stopped!!Marlynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998634957485219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881471759379072601.post-13923817774253550852012-02-07T15:32:00.000-08:002012-02-07T15:32:52.594-08:00Lunch TimeSo today has been a rare day.<br />
(besides the planting weather we've had in February....it's odd!)<br />
So today Koda actually was able to come home for lunch!<br />
So I thought I'd so something different for us and have chicken salad sandwiches.<br />
I like them.<br />
Plus I needed to make sure my recipe tastes good for Erica's bridal shower.<br />
Well, it was a total flop!!<br />
The food was great! I loved it.<br />
The other three people in my house...not so much.<br />
Melody is on my side (hey I'm #1 in her eyes right now)<br />
So I made them some chicken quesadilla's.<br />
I ate some too.<br />
Delicious!!!!<br />
It was approved by the other three....go figure....<br />

You should check it out!! He is a crop producer from Indiana. He writes the truth, for he is a farmer!!!<br />
Interesting facts I liked from the article.<br />
2% of the US is involved in production agriculture.<br />
An average American farmer feeds 155 people!!<br />
50 years ago the average farmer fed 25 people!<br />
Farmers are really helping to keep the world go round.<br />
Please share!!<br />

See our life has been busy and lots of fun!!!<br />
Hopefully we get some more moisture before summer hits.<br />

<ul>
<li>Paying off School Loans. I figure I should be able to have these paid for by April 2011. I owe approx 7 steers. -Note on my loans. I am not sorry at all that I have them. I do wish I would've done more at getting scholarships ect., but really I'm glad that I finished college and that I paid for it all. My parents DID NOT pay for it (many people think this, I have no idea why). This is also a part of why I don't feel I should save for my children's future education, I feel they should do it....okay, that's a completely different post...</li>
<li>Paying off Living Scriptures Loan. This should be paid for by May 2011. I owe approx 2 steers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Eat more home cooked lunches. So far I'm failing at this, I really have a hard time cooking a nice lunch when it is just me and the kids. Breakfast and dinner, no problem! Its lunch time or dinner (when Koda is on nights) that really suffer. But each day is a new day, So each day it is a new goal. One day I'll accomplish it!!</li>
<li>Walk/run Vigorously for 15 mins a day. I made this goal (which somedays I accomplish it others I don't, each day is a new day right?), so I made this goal a goal, for I am terrified that if I end up in a situation that I have to pack my children and all our stuff, out of this hole and up into higher country on my back, I want to be able to do it. Plus it's healthier right?</li>
<li>Attending the Temple once a month. I'm off onto the right track with this. Got my recommend renewed the first of January. I plan on accomplishing this goal by attending the temple each month on our ward temple day. I'm going to go whether Koda can come with me or not, and then on the days he can attend with me, all the better!</li>
<li>Regular FHE, Like I said, each day is a new day.</li>
<li>Study the Book of Mormon. Last year I read it cover to cover for the first time (that I know of). I was going to study gospel principles this year, but I am teaching four 10 year old boys about the Book of Mormon this year, so I'm going to follow along with the lesson plans and study. Already onto lesson 3 and I've learned something new! Crazy.</li>
<li>Read Pride and Prejudice. So this is kind of a crazy one, but I have started this book multiple times, never finished it. I love the movie. So this is just a I can do it goal, just because I can. I have the book downloaded on my phone, so I can read it wherever I'm at. I don't know about you, but I get somewhere and I don't have anything to read, that usually becomes the longest 20 min wait ever! Well now I don't have that excuse! And guess what I'm already on Chapter 8. :)</li>
<li>This quilt is quite the project, but that's ok. It's mine and I'm going to make it perfect! I'd like to have the center finished. Well to this date I'm about 1/3rd of the way through step one of sewing all the strips together. Only 46 strips left. </li>
<li>Organize sewing space, we are getting there. I've been slowly de-cluttering my sewing and crafting stuff. Looking at all sorts of ideas for storing said stuff. :) I'm excited!</li>
<li>Organize storage unit and food storage. I have a C-container just behind my house that I use as a storage unit. Right now it is full of wedding gifts, stuff from our childhood, food storage, clutter that others have given us, ect. Well I believe you should have a food storage (I want an ample one!) Oh yes, I have two deep freezes. One is chock-full of meat. The other one is filled with meat and lots of veggies. I feel I need to do better in my canned food area. But in order to do this I need a much more streamlined organized approach to my storage unit. Therefore Step one DECLUTTER!!!! and that means, all the crap that I <u>may</u> use in the future, is going. I've decided I'm going to let it go and bless somebody else who will use it now. If I need help in the future because I can't afford it, I figure my good deed today will, come back in the form of good karma, and I will get the help I need. Seriously HUGE breakthrough for me. Right now I need organized food storage, so that is the goal I'm working towards! (oh <a href="http://www.flylady.com/" target="_blank">Flylady</a> would be so proud of me :D)</li>
<li>Control Journal (another<a href="http://www.flylady.com/" target="_blank"> flylady</a> thing). Pretty much just a more streamlined approach to cleaning. I really recommend getting the daily emails from Flylady. She sends a ton, and I wouldn't read them all, (unless you want too!) but the Daily Missions is the important thing! They really help you to stay ontop of your crazy house, and guess what, only 15 mins a day!!! That is what I like about <a href="http://www.flylady.com/" target="_blank">Flylady</a>, also I'm glad I already had many of the babysteps in place or at least taught to me (thanks mom) even though she didn't know she does them. The missions are just like a little more help...okay enough. </li>
<li>72 hour kits assembled. Pretty self explanatory. Really I have almost everything, I just need to put them together. </li>
</ul>
<div>
I hope all is going well and on course in your goals this year!! </div>

A new year.<br />
A new clean slate to start anew.<br />
Haha I wish some days!<br />
But I am going to be making some goals.<br />
I have quite the list.<br />
Hopefully I can get them done!!!<br />
Last year I succeeded in getting three of the four goals I actually wrote down accomplished.<br />
(That's more then I thought, Go ME!)<br />
Here is what I <a href="http://www.kodaandmarlynn.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-year-upon-us.html" target="_blank">wrote last year</a>.<br />
Here is what I'm striving for this year.<br />
<br />
Finances:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pay off School Loans</li>
<li>Pay off Living Scriptures Loan (don't ask, I'm really ticked about this one!)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Health/Body:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Eat more home cooked/prepared Lunch meals</li>
<li>Walk/run (vigorously for 15 mins a day)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Spiritual</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Temple once a month</li>
<li>Regular FHE</li>
<li>Study Book of Mormon</li>
</ul>
<div>
Personal</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Read Pride and Prejudice</li>
<li>Finish top center of MY quilt</li>
</ul>
<div>
Organization</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Sewing/craft space</li>
<li>Food Storage/storage unit</li>
<li>Control Journal</li>
<li>72 hour kits assembled</li>
</ul>
<div>
Now that I have an idea of what goals I'm going to do, I need to create them into SMART goals, like a professor in college taught me.</div>
</div>
<div>
I can't remember the what the acronym SMART stands for exactly but I do remember that the goals need to have a specific date, purpose, and person to achieve these goals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I guess I'd better get to getting the specifics figured out on my goals to make them SMART!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What your New Years Resolutions?</div>
<br />
<br />

Holy cow...I feel like I should still be pregnant with her!<br />
Seriously.<br />
So I totally thought I blogged about her birth and all.<br />
Guess what...did not....<br />
Hmmm.<br />
Anyways.<br />
Dec 23rd was a birthday for us!<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s5L7oug9jRs/Tvvjs9cvlhI/AAAAAAAABVU/qUnWjLl3_Y4/s1600/1324690428835.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s5L7oug9jRs/Tvvjs9cvlhI/AAAAAAAABVU/qUnWjLl3_Y4/s320/1324690428835.jpg" width="180" /></a>Page turned two and had a grand ole time!<br />
Well actually all day long her and Melody both had fevers (later we found out they had hand, foot, mouth viruis yuck!)<br />
By the time the cake and ice cream time rolled around though, she was happier.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FxhyaH9WXmQ/Tvvjo8vIkNI/AAAAAAAABUM/k7KXWUGxnXM/s1600/1324689906493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FxhyaH9WXmQ/Tvvjo8vIkNI/AAAAAAAABUM/k7KXWUGxnXM/s400/1324689906493.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
We didn't do anything extravagant.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PiM9xKn0x9c/TvvjpcvD6fI/AAAAAAAABUU/HBvH7zR6xdY/s1600/1324689919792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PiM9xKn0x9c/TvvjpcvD6fI/AAAAAAAABUU/HBvH7zR6xdY/s400/1324689919792.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Just had family over for cake and ice cream and to encourage her in opening her presents.<br />
She was of course all about that.<br />
Until present number two and she opened a pony.<br />
She was done!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2XceRC1Yhs/Tvvjvm-RSDI/AAAAAAAABV8/M9U-WSUvbnk/s1600/1324691145520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2XceRC1Yhs/Tvvjvm-RSDI/AAAAAAAABV8/M9U-WSUvbnk/s400/1324691145520.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
It took quite a bit of coaxing to get her to consider even looking at another gift.<br />
I guess she only needed that pony!<br />
Anyways enjoy!<br />

I'm the VT coordinator and for the past three months the Relief Society President and I have been praying, changing, praying, changing, praying....ect, on all the beats. We finally reached a decision and we handed out new beats today!<br />
It was a very powerful meeting.<br />
Simple, but powerful.<br />
Maybe it was only me who was affected, but that's ok if that is the case!<br />
<br />
Now it's onto Christmas time!<br />
We have a party Tuesday night, with everyone bringing a mystery less then $5 dollar gift.<br />

Seems like a good book to read.
I'm always looking for hints on how to cut my grocery budget down.Marlynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998634957485219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881471759379072601.post-5106298487671074312011-12-07T18:41:00.000-08:002011-12-07T18:41:00.326-08:00Birth ControlI'm going to vent.<br />
So I'm sorry.<br />
Bear with me.<br />
<br />
I'm so sick of people <strike>asking </strike>telling me I'm must be done having children for I have three girls, so close together. It's been proven right? we can't have boys.<br />
Geez.<br />
Just so it's out there, yes we will be having more children and yes the next one will probably show up with in the next two years. We know we are suppose to have more children, so we are going to.<br />
<br />
But what do you say to the lady in the fabric store that asks: "so your getting your tube's tied or a vasectomy done right?" (Oh no, I love giving birth, I think I'll do it another 12 or 13 more times)<br />
or "wow....you do know what causes this right?" (no I don't....please give me a detailed explanation)<br />
or "are you crazy?" (no I just smoke a lot of pot)<br />
<br />
Really is it anybodies business but our own when we have children or the spacing of them?<br />
So yes I have have 3 kids, 3 and under, a 19 month and then a 16 month separation. Guess what, it's me who has to deal with it.<br />
<br />
But I find it very interesting all those who tell me all about different types of birth control, I'm about ready to start replying with, "oh don't worry, I go across the border and get my 25 cent insurance policy there. I'm protected."<br />
or maybe "I do a voodoo dance and smoke ceremony before we do anything. I'm protected."<br />
<br />
Once again, isn't it my business what kind of birth control I use or don't use?<br />
<br />
Now this is not to say that I don't enjoy talking about this with women who are not scornful or rude about it. I don't mind at all talking about birth control with a nice person, who doesn't belittle me.<br />

It's quite cold.. I want to head South.<br />
We all had the stomach flu this week. It has not been fun.<br />
I think we are finally getting over it. Thank Heavens!!<br />
<br />
For preschool we did the <a href="http://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/2011/08/owl-tot-pack.html" target="_blank">Owl Pack</a> from <a href="http://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/2011/08/owl-tot-pack.html" target="_blank">Our Little Monkeys</a>.<br />
The girls loved putting together the 10 part puzzle the very most.<br />
It was great to teach the numbers 1-10.<br />
Of course I didn't get any pictures of them working with the pack.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We also put up the Christmas Tree and all the decorations. Which of course means the Elves are here!!<br />
Many of you have probably heard about the Elf on the Shelf.<br />
Well I think the tradition I grew up with is similar? maybe?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/384886_586323951169_122803355_31991109_510734367_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/384886_586323951169_122803355_31991109_510734367_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Our elves (yes there are many) show up and every night, after the Christmas tree is decorated, to watch you in your daily doings making sure you're being nice not naughty. Then every night they go and report back to Santa and change to a new location in the house. We are up to three elves, they don't have names yet, (the girls are still a little to young to understand naming them) and I believe I have 12 elves total that will come visit us this year (that is if I don't get anymore, hehe).<br />
This is a great fun thing for the young'uns. I loved it has a child and has a teenager, to be honest I was a bit disappointed when they quite showing up at my mom's house as I became a young adult. The magic was gone.<br />
<br />
To be dead honest, the years that I left home, got married, and before I had toddlers, kinda stunk during Christmas time. The magic and wonder and amazement just wasn't there. It's coming back into my house and I LOVE IT!!!! I hope my children will keep the spirit and happiness of Christmas as long as I did, for I want it!<br />

I also worked on Millie girls Christmas stocking. Turning out way cute! I'm thinking maybe I should make one of these for all my girls. We will see. I did have a minor freak out moment with it though, I thought the light blue thread and turned lime green! Yes I was very worried, I'm thinking now it is the lighting in my house, cause it looks more blue and correct in better light. PHEW!!<br />

Well I'm going to end it here. I've got to still get my week planned, menu planned, shopping trip planned. So when I'm awoken at 6 in the morning tomorrow I can hit the ground running. I love Sundays, the day of rest.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a great week and a wonderful Sunday!<br />

Yep I admit it, I have a problem.<br />
Well in order to rectify this problem and to keep you all up on life here in our household, I'm going to try and do a weekly post update on everything.<br />
I've just not been feeling the computer lately.<br />
Really just have no desire to even turn it on, so it stays off.<br />
But I don't want to keep all my dedicated readers to get discouraged by me.<br />
And I need to keep a family journal so when the end of the year comes, I have an easy reference to head to for the family album.<br />
Anyways.<br />
<br />
<b>*Life this week*</b><br />
Thanksgiving!<br />
My favorite holiday ever!!!<br />
Great yummy food!<br />
This was a weird year though, I've never not seen my family on Thanksgiving.<br />
Well they all deserted me and my brood for North Dakota, for my sister's and brother in laws reception.<br />
That's ok though, it was a good reason.<br />
I guess I have to grow up some time and strike out on my own someday right?<br />
I also had another first.<br />
Black Friday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Very entertaining....very....<br />
And yes I did score what I was after.<br />
:)<br />
What else have we been doing?<br />
Selling calves, hauling steers to the butcher, 5 glorious days of Koda having days off, craft fairs, and the state Farm Bureau convention.<br />
Yep its been a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
<b>*Girls*</b><br />
Well Melody is quite the girl.<br />
She wants to crawl, but can only do the superman posture, hasn't figured out the ladybug posture yet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So to get to something she wants she does a back scoot.<br />
I hope it doesn't wear all her hair off her head!<br />
But it is so cute!!<br />
Random note--None of my girls have been big rollers.<br />
Daisy did it one time and then started crawling.<br />
Page and Melody did/do it a little bit, but not very much.<br />
<br />

Page is Daisy's little shadow still.<br />
They are seriously the dynamic duo.<br />
or<br />
They are fighting like banshee's.<br />
Someday's it is exhausting!<br />
Page's hand is doing very welll, and is healing just like it is suppose too.<br />
<br />

Daisy is talking more and more in sentences.<br />
It's so fun to hear.<br />
She knows most of the letter sounds, but their names she refuses to divulge.<br />
And the ABC's song....haha...not a chance.<br />
She also is counting everything in sight, (which Page copycats).<br />
OH and in case you didn't know, She's three!<br />
<br />
<b>*Sewing Projects*</b><br />

So in true loving fashion I sewed them up a snuggle quilt.<br />
I toyed with the idea of doing two smaller snuggle quilts.<br />
But then I remembered....<br />
-They were young<br />
-Newlyweds<br />
-Didn't have children yet<br />
....therefore, 2 quilts was just going to turn into 1.<br />
<br />
See for an ole lady like me, with three children, I would definitely take the two quilts and put the husband on the couch and me on the recliner.<br />
I know what happens when the weather is cold outside and there is only one quilt in the house.<br />
;)<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to T & T.<br />
They like camo.<br />
They like hunting.<br />
They like green.<br />
They like orange.<br />
So here is their awesome quilt!!<br />

<br />
OH and yes there is elk on the back.<br />
Did I get a picture of that.<br />
hahaha no way.<br />
<br />
This is also the first quilt I've ever had someone else quilt.<br />
I thought I would feel terrible and guilty about it since I didn't do it all.<br />
But with sewing all the girls dresses too (7 total!)<br />
I sent it out.<br />
And guess what????<br />

Well T & T are now freshly back from their honeymoon.<br />

Tt sorting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She knows how to do this very well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she thinks she should trick me up and act like she doesn't and always puts the big T on the little t spot and visa versa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here in the picture I think she is telling me she needs the camera, not me.</div>

Here is Daisy's first actual drawing!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you can't tell it's a mermaid and a fish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The straight lines at the bottom are her fin and then the lines on top are her hair. </div>

In other news, the girls have discovered the joy of coloring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they now think they should color all over EVERYTHING!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never had this problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I suppose that is because Daisy never wanted to color until recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was to busy jumping off of everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I want to know....what's the best thing to take crayon off?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and yes they help clean up the mess....they think its fun.....</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a VERY recent development.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How exciting!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I helped Page with her tracing, But she does great too!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Daisy also did the tracing pages great! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loved doing them and would write, wipe, write, wipe, and on and on.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also did pumpkin color matching. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm working with Page to learn her colors.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's pretty easy, especially with older sister giving her the answer. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also made a pumpkin craft.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In other words, we drew some circles, cut them out, glued them down, cut the stems, glued them down and wrote P is for Pumpkins.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lot of work for mom. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But they enjoyed it!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Daisy also did all of her own circles and cut most of them out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Truly I'm amazed, for a month ago, no way.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also had lots of fun with Do-A-Dot pages.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They really enjoy making the letters.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also like to just have free form dot painting.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go figure.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also got out the cupcake felt activity bag that we got from a swap hosted here.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Didn't they do really good at making their own cupcakes? Especially with no help from me!!</div>

We went grocery shopping & Daisy's dance class.<br />
And then the main event trick-or-treating!!<br />
We visited Grandma L in the care center.<br />

Nama at work, Grandma S at her house.<br />
Came home, unloaded the groceries, made some scones, and headed to our wards trunk-or-treat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Koda and I had a wonderful long conversation about everything!<br />
Seriously one of the best nights ever!!!<br />
Next morning I woke up cleaned the house, did the laundry, and finished the flower girl dress I was making for my SIL's wedding!<br />
<br />
I know I'm late and everyone is onto gratitude thoughts, but<br />
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!<br />
