And November is off and going.

I made a ton of carmel rolls for Leo to take to work during turn around.  

 New hand-me-down dress that I actually love!!! Yay!

 Efraim washing dishes.  I should let him do that again this morning.  I've yet to touch breakfast dishes and it's almost 11.  Ugh.  (Watching Doc Martin and blogging is such a better use of time, right?)

 Leo and I tried to get some of our library put together.  Waiting on the house has actually been really stressful.  But I love working with Leo and it's nice just to have time together too.

 I wallpapered Elena and Isabel's room.

 And some GORGEOUS flooring was installed.

 This was when the shelves were put in.  I love their room.  I think it's my favorite in the house.  The view is lovely--open space.

Amazing the difference a coat of paint makes.

 They have little shopping carts at our local grocery store.  I do not like them.  But Efraim and Jubal love them.  This is Efraim when he was tired of pushing the one he insisted on taking it in the first place.

 Efraim loves these slippers and wears them all the time.  So cute!!!

Nicolas's Drawings

My kids watched Avatar all through October while I studied, and I love Lando's drawings!  He gave it to one of the missionaries who had a long discussion about Avatar with him when they came for  dinner.

And he made me the sweetest note.  I love that kid.

Halloween

Jubal drew his pumpkin face himself, and then I helped him carve it.  He said triangles are his favorite shape, so all his pumpkin face is made with triangles.  So cute!



We had a warm day and I jumped on the chance to carve our pumpkins out in the sun.  The next day it turned ridiculously cold and everything froze forever.





This was Isabel's opera singer.  And Elena's fox below.

 

And Lando's that he did entirely himself!




We borrowed awesome Viking outfits from Kayli so I got quite the horde.  d






I was going to go to the kids' Halloween parade, but Jubal came home sick at noon, so my friend Michelle snapped some pictures for me.







Efraim dressed up as a little Incan boy.  But he was with Kayli the week of Halloween, sniff, so I didn't actually see him on Halloween but Kayli sent me so many cute pictures of him.  I'm sure he had fun.

See, he had a better time at Kayli's then he does at home.  Him and Navy are adorable!


Isabel was a Prom Queen.  I used a dress I bought for Ana that she never wore.  Handy. And Isabel was so happy with it.

Elena painted this one at YW's.  She was Marie Antoinette and wore the her 18th century Rococo dress to school with an awesome red sliced neckline, which she won first place for!!!

This was Sebastian's pumpkin.



I love glowing pumpkins!  Best part of Halloween besides the costumes.

Even our van dressed up for Halloween.  :/

Beautiful sunset that night at the trunk-o-treat.  Leo took the kids trick-o-treating and I stayed home and studied--my NClex test was the next day.
