Halloween 2009
Sandy wrote this about our Halloween Family Home Evening--We had a FHE together with the littles and they wore their Halloween costumes since we’ll be in Texas for Halloween. Spencer was a DRAGON. The costume was so cute! Preston was a tiger, and was also supremely darling.
Jaimee came in a home sewn Alice in Wonderland outfit and Mindi proclaimed the she hates sewing and will never buy a sewing machine (she borrowed mine).
When I said, “Well, here’s Alice in Wonderland,” Jaimee said, “It’s really me Grandma. I’m just wearing a costume. “ Brandon was supposed to be a BYU football player but after he put it on at home, the costume was too bulky to fit in the car seat and he had to take it off. Then he was sick of all the on a off so he didn’t wear it at the party.
After eating, we let everyone show a talent. Spencer said a dinosaur name for every letter in the alphabet! It was amazing. Beth would say “A” and Spencer said, “Allosaurus”. Then, “B”, and “Brachiosaurus”. He went through the whole alphabet without a pause and it was adorable.
Preston roared like a tiger, Jaimee did a dance, Brandon made an animal noise and all were duly admired.
Grandma Joy and Grandpa Dick were there and they are doing well. I thought you’d like to know that Spencer has a girlfriend at preschool. Her name (must be whispered) is Brooklyn. Spencer’s teacher is “Miss Michelle”. If you ask Spencer if she is nice he will say. “Of course.”
That is his favorite answer to most questions, except for food questions.
Craig: “Spencer, do you like that soup?”
Spencer: “No.”
Beth: “That’s not very polite.”
Craig: “Preston, do you like that soup?”
Preston: “Sure!” (His favorite answer.)
On Wednesday night of Halloween week we went to Texas to be with Chris and Lisa. When we got there and had a hamburger dinner and played games with the kids.
On Thursday we went to the Houston Temple and Space Museum. Mom and I watched the kids while Chris and Lisa went to a session of the Temple--we played around the Temple grounds chasing snails and afterwards went to McDonalds). After the Temple we went to the Houston Space Museum. Chris and Lisa seemed to enjoy it and the kids really enjoyed the big slide and playground there.
The next day I went to drop off the kids at school. In the afternoon me, Allysa, Lisa, and Emma all ate school lunch with Matthew. In the evening we went out to a restaurant to celebrate Chris's birthday.
Saturday we spent the days making donuts and playing games.
It's funny to to listen to Allysa get her subjects and objects missed up. She says things like, "Him hit me!"
Emma is starting to say words. She even came up to me, saying "Grandpa".
Matthew is getting his words and arithmetic down great. He is reading and spelling a lot of words. If you need someone to count to a hundred by "2"s, "5"s, etc. he's your man...
