Halloween “what the heck?”

Tanner says “what the heck?” ALL OF THE TIME. I know he hears it from me-but it’s Isaac too. The variety of situations he responds with that is a mix of funny, embarrassing, and sometimes cute...so I guess...what the heck? 

We had a very busy and fun week! St. Louis is too far for a day trip...but we did it anyway. We were on the rode by 6 got to the zoo just after 9 I dropped them off and headed back to the temple. When I was done we traded and I did the zoo with the kids while Isaac went to the temple. Oh one cool thing was that I ran into a girl who was in our ward the last two years here at the temple. That was fun. Anyway Saturday was “boo at the zoo” oh boy! But there were crafts and activities and we had fun. 
When Isaac got back we headed for Six flags. Clear across town—makes me appreciate that we can get anywhere in Kirksville in 10 min! After an hour or so Grama’s plane was landing so we headed to the airport (she was going to fly into Kirksville but when we were going to be there anyway we had her cancel and it was awesome-a super short trip for her so it was like we gained a 1/2 a day) Her tickets were originally for the primary program but when it got moved we decided to just leave them because the kids had school off Monday. We decorated a little...

Cashed in on some Grama snuggles 

Even roped her into playing UNO (rim in the middle of the floor is a nice touch) and watched a little Netflix 

Monday we had big plans for a furniture store in Macon. Total flop! They have other stuff too but I thought I was shopping at one of those bad reoccurring  attempted business yard sales. Blech it was awful and we left empty handed (thank goodness) Luckily the Burger King had a play place, so we hit that up then came back to Kirksville. It was kindof anticlimactic but sure enjoyed the fact that Grama was here so we went with it. Tuesday we took the boys to school then just kindof got ready to take Grama back to the airport. We picked Colt up and headed that way. The boys insisted on waiting until the plane was in the air. So we sat and extra 30 min outside the fence. As the plane taxied away Colt said “I’m going to climb this fence and go with her.” Tan said “nooooo I got him mom” and grabbed the back of his shirt. It was pretty cute. 

Wednesday was BUSY! 5 minutes before we walked out the door Cannon told me he wanted to wear a Halloween shirt. The day before he refused to wear a red shirt for red ribbon week so I just figured he wasn’t into the whole dress up all week long. But I grabbed a black shirt a q tip and some bleach and this is what he got. Not great but literally 5 min...and sometimes I wonder why I even give in on his no notice nonsense-I’m creating more and more of a monster.  Oh well. Colts school they had to do pajamas. I think it would be fun if they got to dress up but I also understand why they don’t let them. Santa jams it was. 

Tan and I went down to Colts “party” but Colt morphed right into a clingy mamas boy—and he was NOT THRILLED about the mummy toilet paper game. Then it was home grab a quick lunch then back down to Cannons school where we took most of the games. Below Cann is with his best bud Isaac. A red head named Isaac...should I worry?!?! 😂 they’ve been fast best friends all year! 

When we got home I was scrambling to finish “pup packs” on the boys costumes (they turned out cute but the ONLY pic that I got of them was when Cannon was trying to get his brothers to make a Y) anyway why I did that the boys painted pumpkins...then started carving them on their own. Which was fine as soon as I kicked them outside to the picnic table. 

Anyway here they are Zuma, Rocky, and Cosmo the cougar! 











Colt and his loot out of order but whatever...

And hey BYU football is pretty up and down this year but we all know Cosmo can dance so Cann was work’n the that too. (Oh and we painted his face cuz we were going to the church and the no masks rule. But...we did sneak it on real quick when the Missionaries wanted a picture with Cosmo. That was actually Cannons favorite thing-they made his night! 



After the trunk or treat we went to the community thing where the kids went down the big jump house slide over and over and over-And hey we wore one out...then the others wanted to fake it, Cann couldn’t keep from laughing. 



In post Halloween fun we had the Pettit’s over thurs and had a good time then today the two younger boys and I went to a lunch time play date at the Potters, it was fun. Tanner started limping yesterday and while I was sure he would sleep it off-it was worse today. So we’ll see on that one. Oh and here’s the boys school pics. 

I think that’s about it, well that and other noral stuff, we played basketball one day-grabbed the Tilton kids one day. Just the usual.
