Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween we dressed up as a witch, a ninja and a pumpkin.

We got to go somewhere special with Grams and Gramps for a spooky, Halloween dinner!

We also got to go to our favorite heritage center to celebrate!  This is us on the train.

This is one of my very favorite things to do on Halloween!

Jocee at super speed!!!

Mommy and daddy took us through the corn maze too.

A word to the wise: Don't taste the corn or you might break a tooth!

The rest is history as far as I can see!

Until next year!

The Bubble

Give a kid a giant bubble,

be the coolest mom on the block!

A friend of mine saw this idea online.  You take a package of painters' drop plastic, fold it in half and tape the edges leaving a hole for the fan and a hole to climb in and out of.

Really easy; hours of fun!

Our little home school activity ended up attracting the whole neighborhood; we loved it!

The other day I asked Zanden if he wished he went to school with his friends.  He promptly replied, "No mom!  I have WAY more fun than they do!"  Guess we're doing something right!

The Temple is Finished!

The temple is complete!  We enjoyed taking our children through it and watching their little testimonies grow.  We were able to teach them about the special ordinances we do in the temple and they loved the way they felt.  I asked each of them what they enjoyed most about the temple, this is what they said:

Zanden, "I liked the 12 oxen that hold up the baptismal font"

Alauna, "Rainbows!"

Jocelyn, "The cookies at the end"

... well 2/3 isn't bad!

It's always more fun when you share it with friends!  Have you shared your testimony with a friend lately?

Love, The Packer Family
