Survived another halloween

 Fiora decided to throw a party for Halloween with her friends. She planned, shopped for, and put together the whole thing with her friend Kimee, and I just provided transportation and cleaned the house for guests. It was a big success and she had a lot of fun. She was a vampire this year.

 Savanna decided to be Miranda Sings, and had to explain who that is to quite a few adults (teen youtube star), but her peers thought she pulled it off great! She bought these red pants and ironed on the Miranda motto.

 The Barretts wanted to have a Halloween costume party, so October 31st I made them all breakfast and we played games and voted on the best costume. I even dressed up, no one voted for me though! Krystal, dracula's bride, Kelsy, viking princess, and Weston, Link from Zelda, won the most votes!
 

 

 

Costume winner, Link

 Weston had to wear an Egyptian headress and Minot for school and I donned them later because he wouldn't. In fact he loved his Link costume so much he put it back on on Sunday!

Dad trying to not be in agony

My dad's still suffering with severe back pain. He had an MRI scan this week and they found lesions on his bones in his lower spine, so he needs to have a bone scan done and a lot of prayers. Continue to pray for dad!
Other things that happened in October, we celebrated some birthdays with family members--my mom, Katy Sue, and on the Schauers side Sandy Snow. The kids had fun at Cornbelly's with Karli and Grant, and Weston did a great job on a talk in the primary program. Savanna continues to creatively exercise her nail art talent. Mom played for me to sing at a Relief Society social her son "Thanksgiving Hosanna" and it turned out great! She writes the greatest music, and I love to share it. I was called to be choir director and personal progress advisor in my ward, and have some crunch time things to pull together for both (YW in Excellence in 3 weeks, Christmas program in 7 weeks.) Grateful for all our healtha nd safety and love so we can do the many things we are called to do.
