Pre- Halloween Fun

The weekend before Halloween was pretty busy with different parties and activities.  It didn't help that the kids were getting over colds.  On Friday was the annual Sheriff's Halloween party.  It is pretty cute they have trick or treating in the offices, games, pumpkins and food.  The officers that we in charge of the event dressed like the Cast of Wizard of Oz.  One guy was wearing a cardboard box paint like the yellow brick road.  I wish I had taken a picture now.  Saturday the girls went to a friend's annual Halloween party.  I think is so cool this sister throws a Halloween party for each of her kids' friends.  She throws four parties on one day.  While the girls were at the party, I was attending are stake's family history expo.  I had been ask to help others with their research.  The first part was great because we got to hear from the former director of the family history library.  He now in charge of special projects.  There was a quote I loved that was in his presentation "Genealogy is expanding your charts.  Family History is expanding your hearts"  I love genealogy.  I spent three hours helping other with their questions.  Then it was time for Zayne's second birthday party (Zayne is Matt's cousin's grandson)  It was a construction theme.  It was so cute she had hard hats for all of the kids.  The girls had fun running around after Stockton and Aspen (Matt's cousin's kids)  I thought for a moment we might have to frisk the girls on the way out as they loved his toys.  Livi loved the hugging Elmo doll. And Emme loved the ball pit.  If we had room in our toy room I might consider getting one but I don't know where I would put it.  
  Sunday was the Primary Program at church.  It was Emme's first and since we haven't been in church much the last couple months it was going to be an interesting one.  She was at her silliest and gave her teachers a workout.  She didn't know many of the songs so the pretended she did.  She danced and twirled.  We spent the whole time just laughing at the things she was doing.  She wasn't being naught just her silly self.
