Halloween Fun!

I love that it's finally starting to feel like fall. The Texas summers here are so hot and long that by the time fall hits we are ready for some cooler weather. We had a great weekend. The kids dressed up as their favorite book character on Friday for school. Savannah was a witch and Payton a Pirate. When Halloween falls on a Sunday, you feel like you celebrate Halloween the whole weekend. The kids enjoyed going to our ward trunk-or-treat on Saturday. Savannah used her witch costume and Payton decided to be Darth Vader from Star Wars. Payton is really big into Star Wars these days. The kids had a great weekend and the weather turned out to be beautiful in the low 80’s.

The kids are doing really well in school. I have had to work extra hard with Payton to get him caught up to where he needs to be. I know that everything he has been through has set him back a bit. Payton has such a desire to learn and works so hard. I don’t remember working this hard with Savannah. I think that things come a little easier for her.

I feel extremely blessed that our family is in good health and that we are all doing well. We have had another rough year. It has been a reminder to slow down and enjoy life and every little precious moment.
