Tea Party

Just walked in on a promise made this morning and kept at bedtime. Despite a headache, he donned the few-sizes-too-small crown and poured tea. You can see how tickled Sariah is to have such a dad.

This picture tells you how busy yesterday was. It started out cleaning the church building in anticipation of Elder Holland's visit. Then, finishing and delivering a gourd basket order. Then back home for pumpkin carving and costume finishing touches. All the while, James working on building a shed in the backyard before the bad weather hits. Once when James stepped in the back door he said, "Did you know Hyrum has toothpicks in his mouth?" I was carving a pumpkin three feet away from where he was playing on the floor and I hadn't even noticed!
The kids ended up happy with their pumpkins and their costumes.

The fairy godmother holding the cutest pumpkin ever!

Dumbledore and his pumpkin.

One thing we have found that makes trick-or-treating a little more meaningful is going to those people who may not otherwise get any trick-or-treaters but who joy in the little ones. Such a night may not fill their buckets, but we hope in the long run, it will fill their lives.
