Happy Halloween...a little bit late!

I know its January, but what can I say? Life got real busy, real fast, and blogging was not one of my priorities. So better late than never......HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I love the faces the boys make while getting the pumpkin guts out!

I thought Halloween was supposed to be an easy holiday. Just get dressed up and go get candy right? Then I became a mother... and now have school parties...

Thankfully Riley is now a 3rd grader, so just drop off the goodies in the morning.

Joseph and his teacher.

Boyd and one of his best buds at school.

The Kindergartens went back to the Retirement/Nursing home this year. This was Boyd's 3rd time going, and he knew exactly what to do. Keep a smile on your face, say Trick-or-treat, say Thank- you, and keep going around and around and around the room until all the Grandpas and Grandmas are out of candy. His bag was overfilling with candy, while the rest of his class got a half of and and called it quits.

One of my favorite parts of Halloween is Trunk-or-treating at the Church.
Its even better when the cousins and Grandpa and Grandma Clouse come too!

HAPPY 1st HALLOWEEN McCOY!!!

I love Raising my Boys:

"You are home to him. When he learns to walk, he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back, then wobble away a little farther and then come back. When he tries something new, he will look for your proud smile. When he learns to read, he will repeat the same book to you twenty times in a row, because you're the only one who will listen that many times. When he plays his sport, he will search for your face in the stands. When he is sick, he will call you. When he really messes up, he will call you. When he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying, he will come to you; because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self-conscious. Even when he grows up and has a new woman in his life and gets a new home, you are still his mother; home base, the ever constant, like the sun. Know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place."

"Example is an important characteristic of a boy’s life." President Spencer W. Kimball

"Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down"

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware. The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered around the house, the piles of laundry lying around to be tackled, will disappear all too soon. And, you will to your surprise, miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your home."

"Motherhood is about raising & celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be, and that if you're lucky he just might be the teacher that turns you into the person you're supposed to be." - Joan Ryan

"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read...You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with." -Dickens
