Halloween '09

So this week has been extremely busy for me! Besides getting ready for Halloween, I let Annie have a "friend" party for her 6th Birthday. We had a costume party on Friday even though her Birthday is today. My Birthday was on Wednesday and I wanted to post about that day and maybe I still will, however, my computer has been running really slow lately and I don't have much patience to wait for the pictures:) Enough writing, here are some pictures from Halloween.Spider decoration for Annie's party!
Cragun's 1st Costume Party!
Annie waiting for her guests to arrive!

And, Caprie!

I'll post more of her Birthday pictures later,

but here are the actual Halloween night pictures.

My cowgirls and their little frog:)

Here we are at Trunk-or-Treat.

Not pictured: Janey, A.J. and Griffin.

(duh, we didn't even get a picture of everyone together in their costumes)
Wes had to work at the motel so I made him at least wear a cape.

He was thrilled:)

Awww, but Dad is our Superman!!

And Cragun is our Frog Prince!!

Annie's Drive Inn

Almost every time Wes and I work outside, Annie likes to stay inside while Caprie plays with us. Annie has always loved to play waitress so the past couple times we have been outside she sets up her restaurant:) We love it because we can always get a refill of ice water!

Here she is ready to take our order.

Here is a close-up of the signs. One of them says, "The McNeill Inn for Food-OPEN". The other two are pictures of Halloween decorations.

She even had free samples of candy corn. However, she informed me I could only take one at a time. LOL. Last time this cup said, "TIPS".

Annie's Drive Inn is complete with Halloween decorations and a very elaborate menu including anything from the fridge or cupboard:)

There is also outdoor seating where you can sit and enjoy your mixture of Ritz crackers and potato chips!

Sharing Time

Yesterday in Sharing Time, Sis. Bradshaw (Janet), was asking the kids about Priesthood Blessings. I can 't remember her exact words but she asked, ''What happens when your Dad gives you a blessing?" Annie raised her hand and when Janet called on her she said, "He cries!". Man, it sounds kinda funny right now but I wanted to make sure I wrote this down somewhere. It was so sweet! I even teared up a bit:) I want Wes to know how grateful we are that he is worthy to hold the priesthood. He is such a good example to all of us and we love him so much!! I could go on but then this might turn into Testimony meeting. LOL!!!

Can't keep her busy!!

Caprie is such a busy-body. She is always finding things to get into. From the fridge to the bathroom, she is always making a mess. My mother often reminds me how much she acts like her Aunt Olivia!! Uh-Oh!!!

We still love her though:)

This is her INSIDE her toy box...

after she scattered books and clothes all over her room!

She is so cute that sometimes all I can do is laugh.

Bad parenting, I know!

Until she comes to me with scissors and locks of hair in her hand!!
Yes, twice in two days she has given herself a haircut.
It's not too terrible.
You can see most of it cut out of this little pig-tail.
Awww, my little beautician!! (Did I spell that right??)

Fall Fun

We drove up the canyon to see the leaves changing and decided to pick some leaves for Annie to take to school tomorrow. We made fall bouquets with the leaves and grass we gathered.

We are definately not florists:) But it was fun!!
