Who likes Little Debbie Snack Cakes?

We've always loved Little Debbie cakes (especially the kids), but now we love them even more. Matt is now a production supervisor for McKee Foods- the company that makes Little Debbie treats! It is a great job, with a great company, great benefits, and a large boost in salary. We have been so blessed for Matt to get this position. So the next time you reach for some tasty treats at the store, don't feel guilty...your supporting our family. Now you have a great reason to eat all the Little Debbies you want.

Zoinks...Its the Scooby Gang

We had a great Halloween as the gang from Scooby-Doo. Clark was Scooby, Eve was Daphane, Dean was Fred, Matt was Shaggy, and I was Velma.

We went to our Ward's Trunk or Treat party on Wednesday night and out for more trick or treating on Halloween. Some friends of ours, who live in the neighborhood we went to, offered us their wagon to pull the little guys around in. They enjoyed riding when their legs got tired and Eve was still going strong. Everyone got so much candy that I think we'll still have some at Christmas.

Homemade Spiderman

Clark was sad the other morning because he wanted to be Spiderman but he didn't have a mask. I had some pieces of red fleece so we whipped up a homemade Spiderman Mask during Dean's nap. Dean woke up and saw Clark's mask. He really wanted one too. So out came some more red fleece and the sewing machine.....

We ended up with two homemade Spidermans (or possibly bank robbers) who had a ton of fun shooting imaginary webs all over Eve and running around the house and yard all weekend.

(Eve may be looking for a new place to live)

Fall Giveaways!

My friend Natalie is having a "Fall Giveaway Soiree" on her blog. She'll be having 3 giveaways a week for 6 weeks. She has some great sponsors and is giving away fantastic stuff, so check her out and tell your friends!

BOO!

We made these cute ghosts to put on our porch for Halloween. The original plan was to only make 2, but Clark insisted that every family member have a ghost. So we ended up with 3 on the porch and 2 in the foyer. They were easy to make and the kids really like them. It doesn't look like it, but Dean likes them too. He likes to kiss them and tell them hi and bye when we pull out of the driveway.

Choo-choo Dean

Dean loves trains. We found a small sheet of Thomas the Train wall stickers at the Dollar Store and got them to put on the wall near Dean's crib. Clark helped me make sure we stuck them high enough so Dean couldn't reach them. This is what Clark found when he checked on Dean during his nap.....

I guess the stickers need to go a little higher.

Legos

All of our kids love Legos. They built this tower out of their Lego guys one night after dinner and wanted to show it off. All of the people are balanced on one lego horse on the bottom!

Indiana Clark

I caught Clark getting some practice for his career as a stuntman on our neighbors weeping willow tree. Hanging sticks and a ditch. What boy can resist that?

Speed Racers

Clark & Dean like to ride their "bikes" (a tricycle and a rad pink big wheel) around the driveway. They had a fantastic time taking turns coasting down the driveway, so we decided to get some action footage.

Dean really was having a lot of fun, until I got the camera out to catch him in action. He's a nut.

Clark: Professional Laundry Kid

Clark wanted to help me with the laundry, and he wanted to do it all by himself. I was doubtful, but he proved me wrong. He used his little boy skills to get all of the wet clothes out of the washer and into the dryer.

I thought he was a goner a few times, but he made it!

He did a fanastic job! I need to ask him if he wants to scrub the bathtub.
