Griffin packing for Florida

Tomorrow we leave for Florida! 2 whole weeks as a family with no work, nice weather, Disneyworld, Universal Studios, the new Harry Potter world, and the beaches. I can't wait! I have a new swimsuit, that I actually think I look fabulous in, and can't wait to go have some fun in the sun with my cute family. The kids are excited too. They each have their own bag packed for the plane and are probably not going to be able to focus much at school tomorrow. Griffin doesn't really know we are going yet (after all, he is only 1), but he has definitely enjoyed the packing part. For over an hour on Saturday he put his clothes in one suitcase, and then another. It was so cute!

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween. The kids all had a blast! Faith let me make her a fabulous tutu for her witch costume, Gavin was a Ninja, Brayden went old school and was Dracula, Landon was Spiderman (of course) and Griffin was Superbaby!
Doug had to fly out on Halloween, so he missed the actual trick or treating, but he was able to rearrange his flight to leave later and he volunteered to help at Gavin's class party while I went to help at Brayden's. Doug was also able to come to the kids school parade that morning, which was great. Brayden and Gavin were very excited to see us and show off their costumes. It was really fun to see all the kids in the ward dressed up too (especially since we didn't have a ward Halloween Party).
The kids and I went Trick or Treating for 3 1/2 hours and had a lot of fun together. Faith was going to go with her friends, but decided to invite her friend to come with us, which was really nice. We met up with more of our friends and finished the night trick or treating with them. Griffin was so cute. It was his first time trick or treating and he LOVED it. He loved getting things in his bucket, and he fell in love with licorice and dum dums.
Did I mention I love Halloween (tell me you didn't know that already).
