This is too funny not to share! The kids asked to exercise tonight, so I gave them some random stuff and turned on my kettlebell workout video. They spent more than 15 minutes following the host -- it was a riot. This video is way too long for casual viewers, but if you watch it, make sure you get to the end (the best part).

From Sunday
Hey gang -- we haven't been terribly exciting the past few days, but I'll work on some more pictures and videos. Until then, I'll share my sermon from Sunday. Click here to read the lessons, then click here to listen to the sermon (or click here to read it). Happy Wednesday!!

Happy Veterans Day
The kids were very excited about celebrating Veterans Day today, especially because they held a special parade at school yesterday! All the children dressed in red, white, and blue and paraded around the parking lot wearing special hats and carrying posters. One of our priests, a former Air Force chaplain, carried the flag. Here are the kids having a great time!
After the parade, the kids gathered on the sidewalk to eat red, white, and blue popsicles and cookies.
Tonight, we celebrated with cheeseburgers (an American celebration!). When we sit down to dinner, the kids always vie for the chance to say the blessing. When Brayden asked to say the blessing tonight, this is what he did:
Thank you to all our men and women in uniform!

Slumber Party
The other morning, Nicole woke me up in a bit of a panic because when she woke up, she noticed that Layna's door was open (the kids sleep with them shut) and Layna wasn't in her room. Nicole did a quick sweep of the upstairs and couldn't find her. One place she hadn't checked, however, was Brayden's room ...low and behold, there she was! Apparently, Layna woke during the night and decided to crawl into bed with Brayden -- how cute is that?! I thought you'd like to see how we found them:

Trick-or-Treating (for real)
Finally, pictures from actual Halloween! As you can see, Layna stuck with her princess costume, but Brayden decided to flip from being a magician to a king! (good choice!) They made an excellent pair!
Something you can't see in these pictures are Layna's shoes. They are high heels with pick feathers on top of the toes -- she called them "my heels" and insisted on wearing them around the neighborhood. Although they look hilarious, they sounded even funnier! I took this video so you could hear her clip-clopping up the sidewalk in them:
I wish I had recorded some of what she was saying as she was walking from house to house, like, "Look! I'm walking in my heels without falling!" or, "I can walk in my heels the whole time!" She's such a riot!
When we got home, the kids enjoyed a pumpkin cupcake that we made earlier in the day (thanks to Gigi for the great mix and toppers!) -- click here for the mix from Williams-Sonoma (yum!).
Then it was time to celebrate the spoils of a great night!
