A Week With Dad

Andy had this last week off, so we packed as much fun in as we could.  On Monday Nathan had his 4 month well check up, so I made Andy come a long to be the bad guy.  After 9 years and four kids I figured it was time he got to hold down the baby while he got shots.  It was hard on him, but he was a good sport.  Nathan weighed in at 16 lbs. 6 oz. and is 25 inches long.  He is growing so quickly!  Bradley, Daniel and Eliza came to the appointment so they could get their flu vaccines.  After that we picked up a couple more pumpkins for family night and dropped the kids off to school.


Andy went back to the school a little later to have lunch with Bradley.  Bradley was super excited to see Andy and Eliza.


For FHE we had the Elders over for dinner. After dinner we decorated brownie haunted houses.  I told the boys to pick an Elder and get started since there were two brownie houses.  Bradley immediately said, "I get the skinny one!"  We all started laughing and asked which one the skinny one was.  They are both the same size so we thought it was funny!  They were good sports about it.

Eliza supervised both houses.
 


The finish products!  They were very proud of the haunted brownie houses.


Margaret snuggled with Nathan while we got everything ready for the pumpkin carving portion of the evening.  We invited our neighbors over to carve pumpkins.

Yu helped Daniel with his pumpkin.



Eliza drew the face on her own pumpkin.  I thought she did a great job so I had to get a picture.  Then I helped her cut it out.

Finally finished!


Daniel was very pleased with the way his pumpkin turned out.


Bradley with his!  I think he and Dad picked big enough pumpkins don't you!?


It was fun to see them all with candles in side.
