Caramel Apples

I decided to make chocolate turtles from our Walgreen's 1/2 price Halloween caramels, and my stash of 20 lbs. of fine Georgia pecans I am trying to eat up. I didn't quite make the caramel right, it was too runny for the turtles, but perfect for Miss L to make a caramel apple, which is a perfect project for her age. It tasted DEVINE. Good thing I have another bag tucked away another project next month.

Temple with Tots

We go up to the LDS temple and trade toddlers and babies so moms can go to the temple every month. It was gorgeous weather on Wednesday, so the tots and I ventured out for a walk.

On a side note, I had them all lined up on a bench for picture, when the sprinkler system system turned on with all five kids in tote. Classic.

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat...lil' G's favorite phrase of the evening. He loved carrying around his candy and getting it in his bag.








We went to a pumpkin patch a few days ago. Miss L painted the pumpkin and then we carved it yesterday me and her.

My Boys

My boys. I love em, to death. I could have five more and be content with life. One is leaving me for the weekend to present a poster in Louisiana. I miss him already. Lil' G looked addicted to TV, sometimes I wish...especially during piano lessons, but o'contrar.

How Much is that Doggy in the window?

We are puppy sitting this week. I have decided from the last 24 hours that I will not get a dog anytime soon. And they don't take off their shoes when they come inside. They are like taking care of another kid, and I have my hands full with those.

Sleeping Babes

Miss L must sleep in style...I laughed when I found her like this.



Lil' G was just to cuddly not to take a picture of. I am afraid he is getting to be much more of a toddler than a baby. But he still loves to cuddle with me. Good thing.


Today was a nice break. Gary worked 14 hour night shifts OB all last week and all day Saturday. I was about done with it all. Sunday was so nice to have him here.

Go Astros

My friend who works for the police department gave Gary and I tickets to the Astros a couple weeks ago...and volunteered to watch our kids. We had a great time and ate way too many chili cheese fries. They lost miserably though.
