Halloween etc.

Well here are some of the last pictures from the wood family visit. We were all so happy to get to visit with the kids and especially happy to meet little Allison.

On Sunday night before the Woods left, grandpa blew up some helium balloons and let the kids play. They had a great night. We miss you guys already and can't wait to see you this summer.

Grandpa learned how to play wii :)
The next weekend Peter and I took the girls out to the Corn maze with the Cleggs. It was fun. Violet was bossing us around the whole time, she is such a little toddler!

Violet has fallen asleep in some funny positions this week. the other night she was having a hard time going to sleep so we left her in our room and when we went to check on her she had rearranged all the pillows so she had like 5 of them strategically placed. what a little diva.

Then the next night she fell asleep right away but she was totally straight as a board. what a funny kid.

This last Friday and Saturday I was able to go to Spokane and Pullman to be with Bill and Michele as they went to the Spokane temple to be sealed. It was a really nice weekend, I got to sleep on John's couch (which was surprisingly comfortable) and spend some time with my Siblings while Peter held down the fort at home with the girls. The sealing was beautiful and I am really thankful to have been able to be there.
The Spokane temple is a mini temple and our large family was a little overwhelming in such a small space but it was really fun to all be together.

After the temple we all went to Olive Garden in down town spokane for lunch.

On Sunday we took the girls trick or treating with Wylie. It was so much fun and the kids are really starting to get the hang of trick or treating. They got quite a bit of candy too!

Violet the witch clutching her candy in the car. We got to stop at both grandparents house for a visit. G and G Corier only got like 10 trick or treaters and G and G Wright got like 4 ( I think most people are going to the neighborhoods with sidewalks and streetlights) I was talking to my friend about this and she said we used to go hard core trick or treating (our neighborhood has large lots, long wooded driveways) todays trick or treaters don't know how much work we used to put into getting that candy!

Violet making her last stop of the evening at grandma's. Aunt Diana decorated the porch for them while we were in spokane, it looked so cute.

Doesn't Claire look adorable as Minnie Mouse? Diana got the costume on her last trip to disney land.

Trigger wanted to be Minnie Mouse as well!

I hope everyone had a great halloween. The girls and I were planning to head to Idaho this weekend for a wedding but we are all sick with a chest cold so we are staying home instead.
