Momsville


Today i was driving down 100 E in American Fork and i was minding my own business when all of a sudden this teeny bopper pulls right behind me and is riding my tail. Let me first just say i was going 5 over the speed limit so it wasn't like i was driving granny style. But all I kept think was she better get off my rear. Then to top it all off she decides to pass me on a no passing street going 20 over the speed limit. And what do I say out loud "Hey you, you better slow down you're going to kill someone. Crazy teenagers, who do they think they are?" So it occurs to me a split second later that that is something a mom would say. You might be thinking to yourself, uh Kim you are a mom. And i fully realize this but occasionally i forget so today was a rude awakening. I'm officially a MOM.

Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!

Jinkys, this Halloween sure flew by fast. One minute your buying a big bag a candy(and eat half of it your self) and the next you are dressing up like a member of the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency. For some reason I'm a little obsessed with having our family dress as a theme for Halloween. Previous years have been super hero's, the harry potter clan and this year was Scooby-Doo. Michael was Shaggy, i was Daphne, Averi was Velma and Sienna was the cutest Scooby you ever saw. Although Averi kept saying that she was more of a Scrappy-Doo then a Scooby-Doo. In my opinion Averi was a pretty spot on Velma.
This year was made even more fun for Averi by the fact that she got to dress up and receive candy so many different times. The first was for school. They had a little program complete with songs and a costume parade. Unfortunately Averi was more inclined to "investigate" then to sing in her program. That night was a sort of work party with yummy soups, pumpkin carving and falling in love. Yes Averi has found her first boyfriend and his name is JJ. He is the sweetest little boy, they held hands during Charlie Brown and the Great pumpkin and pulled quite the dramatic scene when we had to literally pull them apart to go home. All she could talk about on the way home was how much she loves JJ, but then she finally fell asleep.


The next event was the classic ward Halloween party, which was not so classic sadly. It lack...well it lacked everything pretty much, because by the time we got there they were practically taking down the tables and chairs so all we got was a small brownie. And then there was Halloween day we carved pumpkins again(because we can't get enough of that carving in) and ate some more yummy soup.
Then Brit and I took Averi trick-or-treating around her neighborhood. She got some good loot, but it wasn't good enough so we headed on up to old Vista Dr. where Michael and John took her around and made another good haul.
Needless to say we are going to be eat Halloween candy until Christmas. It was a great holiday spent with family and friends and i hope that they just keep getting better every year.
