Halloween Decor

I made these spooky, dang cute, little lanters yesterday and today. We put the flameless-electric tea lights in them tonight for family home evening and sang 'the five little pumpkins' song. A HUGE hit! Aren't they just the cutest little things? I totally stole this idea from 'our best bites' blog. I don't do a ton of home-maid crafts, but this one was super easy, and I LOVE how they turned out. Ellie has been carrying the little orange one around all day, putting the flame-less tea light in and out, and acting like it was her baby.

Cupcakes!

Last weekend I attempted the Andes Mint Chocolate cupcakes and they turned out http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifdelicious. Well...this weekend it was the Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes...and let me tell you...they taste just like pumpkin pie. Mmmm Mmmm Good. If your wondering what is in the bottom of that cupcake - it's a golden oreo.




As Devan was leaving for the game he said "Hey, take a picture of me in all my byu stuff." He was excited...this is a great opportunity for him. I think he likes his game pass that he wears around his neck the best...so cute :)

Funny Afton

The other night we were on our way home from somewhere with all of our kids. It was fairly late and they had started construction on the freeway. Afton was very intrigued that they were just starting work this late in the evening, and never knew they worked on the roads all night long. She thought about this for half a second and then asked, "so they stay up all night, and sleep during the day? That means there nocturnal. A nocturnal human, I've never heard of such a thing, that is hilarious!" At which point she began hysterically laughing, as did all of us.
