Please excuse the fact that Zak looks half asleep in this picture. lol. He's like me...he has a hard time taking a picture with his eyes open. It's a curse that comes from my mom. We always have to take pictures over and over again so everybody's eyes are open. Tonight we shaved his head so he can be an old man for Halloween. It's kind of hard to tell in this picture but the sides are quite a bit longer than the top. He's going to wear suspenders and old man glasses. It's hilarious!! Last night I played bunko with a bunch of my friends. We dressed up in costumes and had cafe rio burritos for dinner (YUM!). This is a picture of my friend Jenna...she's a fat tourist. I dressed up 80's style with big hair and acid washed jeans. I wish I would have gotten a picture! We had lots of fun and I actually won 10 bucks! Surprise!

A picture of Tiff and Jenn looking cute!

I spent today in Orem christmas shopping and hanging out with Jessica. Carlee is super hard to buy for this year. All she wants is a cell phone, but that isn't going to happen until later this year when Emery Telcom gets their phones. I was hoping that would happen before Christmas, but it looks like it will happen at the beginning of the year.

Last night we carved our pumpkins. Jared didn't get home until 7 from work and Zak was dancing around asking "when's dad getting home" over and over again. He was so excited! Carlee went for a simple Boo design and Zak wanted something more elaborate. He didn't want me to help carve his pumpkin. He kept saying "I want dad to do it. I'm afraid you'll mess it up". lol. Luckily, I did just fine! After the pumpkins were carved we made pumpkin seeds. I didn't eat any because I had an upset stomach, but Jared and the kids pigged out. Here's a few pictures of the kids scooping out the pumpkin guts.

In Orangeville the 6th graders get to do the haunted house at the Halloween Carnival. Yesterday we started working on our part of the house. We are in charge of the "kitchen". We are planing on having someone stick there head through a hole in a table and put a pot on top. When the kids walk by the chef will take the pot off and the kid in the table will scare them. We are also going to have body parts laying around and someone with a chef had and apron holding a bloody saw. Carlee and her friends are super excited. We actually had about 15 kids sign up to be in our area. It should be a lot of fun! I will post some pictures when it's finished.
