Halloween and such

My friend Mandie Quittner, one of my ministering sister miracles, moved on Halloween. I helped her with some packing and cleaning.  I am grateful for what I learned about listening to the spirit from my experiences with her.

Pumpkin carving the day before Halloween!

Maris and Emma had great fun being Mal and Uma from Descendants, dyed hair and all!

Emma wore a pirate costume to gymnastics, facial hair included!

Once again November brought us gorgeous sunrises! One morning I was watching one on a run, then came home and got all the kids to come out and see.  So they were running around outside in the beautiful pink light at 7:15am haha. 

These next two were when it was at it's pinkest!! The eastern sky,

and the western.

the east again a few minutes later,

and the southern sky.

Maris and Owen's Native American and Eqyptian costumes for school on Halloween.

More pumpkin carving.Kate's dragon! and the spiral eyes I carved for Emma.

All 5 kids on Halloween!  Owen was a ninja, Whitney was a robber who stole 2020 (hence the TP, masks, and a money bag that said vacations and sports, haha so creative!) and Katelyn was a yellow crayon that she made herself out of cardboard, so cool!

Fun times.

And next thing we knew it was Thanksgiving!  

We had Jonathan over. The food was delicious.

We are so blessed.  Eric said he was grateful for 2020 and the kids were like "what??!?!" but it was sweet, he said it was kind of nice when we were shut down in quarantine, he was working from home and it was just us.  All day every day.  And it was pretty good.  We are so grateful to be together.
