October Fun

in case you have been missing these boys.............

I thought I would submit a few pictures for your enjoyment. To keep ourselves busy, this month we have been doing the following:

My two adorable helpers

Who helped me grate 18 bags (approx 2 cups each) of zucchini for spaghetti sauces, breads, soups, etc. We were an AWESOME assembly line.


Daddy built them a gigantic fort in which they enjoyed some of General Conference, goldfish, games, books, and even a nap.


We eventually got around to carving pumpkins. Keegan named his "Scary Head." Every time Kayden saw it he would say "OOOH!" in a scary voice and make the sign for 'scared'. It never failed to make me chuckle.



The very dashing Captain Kayden, who was our resident pirate for Halloween; my favorite part? The moustache.



The G* cousins on Halloween night; Keegan (ninja), Grandma & Kayden (Captain Hook and Smee, the first mate), Katarina (the most adorable tiger ever) with Aunt Virginia.



Daddy carved a pumpkin showing our Beaver pride (isn't he talented?)


All in all, it was a great month, with my birthday thrown in there (sadly, I have no pictures from it), and lots of illnesses. The boys started off the month with a stomach flu (I managed to survive without joining them in the puking), and ended the month with terrible colds/sinus infections/asthma attacks and antibiotics.
We now are just awaiting the end of the month, which should come fast enough with the multitude of dr appointments I have to pass the time!
By the way, the baby is grand, still kicking away (at my ribs mostly). The doc checked me at my last appointment and I was fully effaced, the baby had dropped to 'zero station'. But....I wasn't dilated at all, which is the whole reason I have c-sections. I just don't dilate - so I will be staying in this rather uncomfortable position for the next 3 weeks!
