The last warmish day of '08

Nov. 6, 2008
These are pictures from later on in the day from the missy prissy post! It really was a beautiful day! We had a great day and lived it up outside while we waited for Steve to get home from work!

The afternoon outside started with Gordon taking out a few pieces of sidewalk chalk. I was cooking dinner when he called in to ask me how to spell "Happy Halloween" ...
(the kids LOVE halloween...what could be better than dressing up and getting candy from EVERYONE! They also LOVE the "naughty" halloween song...you know it..."trick or treat, smell my feet..." thanks for teaching them that one Hayden...we are still having to quelch the singing daily at mealtimes...Otter can sing it with the best of them!)
...well I called out the letters and he did a great job writing them...just he wrote them a perfect mirror image of themselves...He does this all the time...I used to worry that maybe he was dyslexic but he can do it perfectly both ways...i even tried to write out a bunch of words backwards and some forwards and he read all of them the right way...wierd huh?

well, here's the rest of the day!

Gordon is an official Monkey Bars Pro...he is really good...we only have about 10 bars but he can do it all by himself! Have any of you tried doing the monkey bars lately...I about dislocated my shoulder...it's harder than it was when you weighed 40 lbs--believe me!

You gotta love putting a sandy bottle cap in your mouth...it's so much more fun when Mom's says "yuck!"

Oscar loves to "write" he always spells everything "S-E-O"...that's what he just wrote for Happy Halloween...can't you tell?

Oh little miss...with the afternoon hair...looks all jumbled after 2 naps and a day outside!

I love the way Oscar wears his cowboy hats...pulled all the way down so that it bows out his ears and any indent naturally in the top is gone...just a big hat full of Oscar!

Gordon kept trying to hide in our outdoor fire pit/fire place..he is one sneaky little BYU fan!

Dad finally arrived and we got to enjoy the rest of the night together...though as the sun crept towards the horizon the day "cooled" rather quickly...time for dinner and B-E-D!!
