The end of Halloween

We had a great Halloween Day. The day before Sophia had a little costume parade at her preschool. All the kids were so cute. Here's my zombies after preschool with a few of Sophia's fun new treats.
Halloween day we went to Doug's work where we wore our 2nd costumes of the holiday. My friend Miki and her husband did this and I thought it was hilarious so I copied her. Thanks again Miki! Lilly was still a bag of Money and you can't really see Doug's "Prize Patrol" name tag but he represented!We then went to the good 'ole trunk or treat where Lilly enjoyed some yummy chocolate
and then came home and watched Halloween and Halloween H2O. Both pretty stupid and intense movies.

Saturday while Doug was at the PowWow at BYU Sophia and I raked up our leaves. Our pile had looked like this for awhile so we decided it was time to rake them up. Sophia then had a fun time spreading them out again before I had a chance to get them all to the garden (it only took about 10 wheelbarrow loads and I can't believe I wasn't faster!)Today we woke up to snow and had a great time playing in it! Sophia was dying to get out there and I caught her playing in it with no pants or shoes on and made her at least put her snowsuit and some glovies on. We built this snowman and I kept asking her what we should make the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. out of and she kept saying "snow!" so that's what we did. She was so excited to make the snowman and 30 seconds later it looked like this. I'm so glad I worked so hard to build it for her. Yes that's her cute little bum ramming the snowman with her bicycle. We also had a fun time catching snowflakes in our mouths and I've been trying to explain to her all day that just because it snowed it doesn't mean it's Christmas (despite the radio stations trying to do some convincing as well with all the Christmas music they're playing!) I finally convinced her to come back in and she was literally out there again within 30 seconds. At least she put shoes on this time...

Looks like she had a great time out in the snow today! We should have had you come up here...we had a good 5-6 inches. I wish it were less...I despise shoveling snow.

CRAZY SNOW- what are you doing? We are still loving our warmth. I loved the costumes and think it's great Sophs wore the care bear. The silly eyes made us laugh so hard- those were awesome!
LOVE YOU!
