2. I baked rolls....and they turned out! I think it is the second time that I have made rolls...the first time was a disaster, so I'm glad they turned out this time! Maybe it is because I had a great teacher...thanks Emily!!!

Getting ready for Halloween...


Well, we decided it was time to get out the halloween costumes and figure out what the kids are going to be this year. I have 3 or 4 costumes that fit Graham, nothing that fits Cameron, and 1 costume that might fit Owen, but he starts kicking and screaming every time I try to put it on him, so we may never know! Graham thought the whole thing was fantastic...he loved everything I put on him! So, who knows what he will end up being. Cameron decided he wanted to be Luke with a black jedi robe, so I tried to sew a Jedi robe. I had a pattern for a boxing robe which I thought would work, and it probably would have if it wasn't for a size 10-12, but after a lot of adjusting, it kinda fits..... just don't look too close! So, now we are ready for Halloween, or at least Cameron and Graham are!...




Then today after conference, we put up the few Halloween decorations that we have. Cameron thought it was pretty cool even though he really wishes we had the giant blow up decorations that go on your lawn like our neigbors do! He wants everyone to be scared when they come to our house..... we hung some little ghost lights in our front window, and he thought that might do the trick!
