Plowin' Right Through November!!

Wow. Just wow. November has been insanely busy and just about everything that could've happened did! The garage ceiling caved in, the bedroom ceiling sagged dangerously, the Primary Program, first snow brought out all the idiots, and so much more! Here's a few pictures from our crazy month so far:

I came home, opened the garage, saw this:

Ceiling is down.

 Closed the garage door, called my landlord, went through the front door and cracked open a diet Pepsi. Or five.

Ceiling gone.

That very day men came over and cleaned up the mess. Not only were they incredibly thorough, (and nice to look at) but they vacuumed off the Christmas boxes and uncovered one of Cooper's toys, cleaned it and handed it to him. He said with awe, "You saved Christmas AND found my toy! You make miracles come true!" The nice restoration guy replied with a wink, "Yes, we do!"

Amidst the chaos, my sweet children did fabulous in the Primary Program. When they were singing the parts of the family and came to mother, Cooper looked at me, pointed and mouthed, "You."

Ah, sibling love.

Now onward to Christmas, which is approaching way to fast!

Boo at the Zoo and Jack o' Lanterns!

We finished up our Halloween celebration with Boo at the Zoo and carving pumpkins. The weather was really nice for Boo at the Zoo......nice enough for all southeastern Idaho to attend! It was packed! Amelia and Cooper had a great time though, and we saw more animals that night then we do when we usually go to the zoo. I think it had something to with the temperature being in the 60s rather than the 90s.......here are some pics. They are a little hazy because of the back lights and sun setting:

We also carved our pumpkins. It always makes me laugh how much Cooper does NOT want to pull out the innards of the pumpkin. If you look at the his picture, he's barely holding the top with all the guts hanging out. 

 Amelia, on the other hand, has no trouble diving right in!

Cooper wanted six eyes and two scary mouths.

Amelia opted for cute with eyelashes. They both did a great job!

We're sad to see Halloween go, but that means we have Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up! Can't wait!
