My chaotic life raising six kids
Aidan was selected to read his saint report at this mornings All Saints Day mass. He did such a good job! He looked so cute in his saint costume. Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Ron were also there. We were all so proud of him. His report was on Saint James and here is what it said:
“Saint James was a fisherman. His brother was Saint John the Apostle. Jesus asked him to be a fisher of men. He said, “Yes!”
Our six Trick-or-Treaters:
Jared – Superman
Talia – Hippie
Kayli – Belle
Aidan – Bionicle
Riley – Power Ranger
Falyn – Fairy Princess
The kids had such a great time last night. I only took Falyn to a few houses to show off how cute she was to the neighbors. She then stayed home and helped me pass out candy before falling asleep around 7 pm. Dan took the rest of the kids out with some of the other neighborhood kids. They came back around 8:00 pm and dropped the boys off. The girls then went back out with Dan till around 9:00 pm. We ended up with over 5 filled pumpkin buckets worth of candy!
Here’s a picture of the kids’ pumpkins.
From left to right, Kayli’s singing pumpking, Talia’s bat pumpkin, Jared’s scary pumpkin, Aidan’s – well I’m not too sure what it is, it started off being a bat, then he just kept carving more out of it, and Riley’s scary pumpkin. Talia, Kayli and Aidan carved their pumpkins all by themself. (I did help with the scooping.) Jared and Riley designed their pumpkins and I helped them carve them. We were all very happy with how nicely they looked all lit up.
