A-Z Program

Caden finished his first session of A-Z and had such a blast! He loves preschool. On Thurs. they had a program and I was surprised at how well Caden knew all the songs they sang. The video I posted I just love because you can hear him singing above everyone else! (pause music on bottom of blog) How cute is that?! He has such a great personality and loves to have fun.

Lesson Learned

What's this you may ask? Nothing but my handsome husband and his nicely shaved legs! Yes, that's right! Clint told his accounts receivable department if they met a certain goal he would shave his legs. Well the bet was made a year ago (at the time it was right before his triathlon, so he thought it would be no big deal) and somehow they pulled off the goal right before the year was up. (Who gives someone a whole year to win a bet anyways??? Apparently Clint does!) Luckily the hair is slowly growing back and hopefully he has learned his lesson about making outrageous deals!

Crazy Boy = Crazy Hair

Caden had a crazy hair day at preschool a couple weeks back. I cut his hair a couple days before this, so there wasn't much to do with it except color it. Caden chose green and wanted it only on the top. When we first sprayed it in he didn't like it and wanted it washed out right away. I reassured him that it looked cool and he wouldn't be the only one with crazy hair. After a few minutes his attitude magically transformed and he loved it!

Keeps on going and going and going...

Halloween this year was a never ending party! Lexi had a Fall Festival in school on Friday which she said was such a blast. They made spider hats and pumpkin pillows, played Halloween bingo decorated cookies and did many more Fall activities. She came home with her backpack full of stuff. Caden also had a Halloween Carnival at his school on Friday. Both Clint and I got to go and it was so much fun. They had all sorts of carnival games and Caden was loaded with candy by the time we left.

On Friday night we had our annual ward chili cook-off/Halloween party. I did make chili and I'm happy to say that I got 2nd place. Woohoo! My prize was a wooden spoon painted silver and mounted on a plaque that says "2009 Chiller Award". The bronze was the "Chill" and the gold was the "Chilliest". The kids had fun playing more carnival games and going around from classroom to classroom trick-or-treating. They had all the rooms decorated to the nines. It was a lot of fun! And once again the kids came home with way too much candy!

On Saturday some friends from our ward threw a Monster Party. We went and the kids had fun hanging out with their friends and playing more games! They even had a fishing pond where they were giving away live gold fish. Somehow I convinced the kids that we didn't need one because we don't have a fish tank! Thank goodness for that! =)

That evening we came back to my parents house and let the kids go Trick-Or-Treating (not for lack of candy reasons! That's for sure!) They also love to pass out candy to the kids that come around, so they spent a good amount of time doing that. To finish off the night we stopped by Grandpa and Grandma Albright's to let them see the kids in their costumes. We were all exhausted by the end of the night.
