Halloween

What cute little people.  Eric chose to be Spiderman again (the third year in a row).  The costume has definitely been well used Thanks Mom :)  Wendy was a ballerina, princess, fairy (although her wings only lasted for about 5 minutes).  She was excited to have her hair done, wear lipstick and fingernail polish.  Zachary was Harry Potter.  His friend from primary was Hermione and they were excited to see one another.  Hyrum was a lion (another well used costume).  

The kids have been counting down.  They loved to change the Candy Countdown blocks, thanks Larae.  We went to Trunk or Treat at the church on Wednesday and then tonight we went for a short while.  It was a great Halloween fun.

Making do without Water

 Saturday evening I had a luxurious bath.  Kyle came in to wash his hands and discovered there was no water pressure.  Upon researching the cause he found a swamp in our front yard and water coming out from under the garage.  He quickly turned off the water and we were without water until Tuesday afternoon.  We did save the water in the tub for flushing toilets, and we had our water storage, so the only thing that was really missed were showers.  Kyle also bought paper products so we did not have to do dishes.
When they came to fix the problem it ended up that the pvc pipe in the yard had completely cut in half where it joined the copper pipe going into the house.  It was a muddy fix and Wendy had to put her boots on and get involved, Hyrum followed her example for a short while, but was not as excited about getting dirty.  I was grateful to have water for a bath after their playing in the mud :)

Kyle's Birthday

HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY!!!

 Kyle had a birthday at home, although it did fall on a Monday.  The weekend before our house started having some issues, see the post about no water for more details.  I had a field trip with Wendy so Kyle stayed home in the morning to wait for the plumbers and insurance people.  When we got home he decided that it was his birthday he might as well take the entire day off.  We enjoyed having him at home.  When the kids got home from school we opened gifts, the one pictured below is my favorite.  Everytime the kids asked him what he wanted for his birthday he replied with spanking them, so he got a padded spanker.  We then went to dinner at a buffet, Kyle could have his sushi fix.  At home we sang Happy Birthday, and had small slivers of his cake.  We were all already quite full.  Happy Birthday Kyle!

October Park Trip

We had a great time at the park during the kids Fall break, at the beginning of October.  As a mother it is always a treat when your kids play well with one another or with other kids at the park for an extended period of time.  This was such a time :)

Wendy's Fieldtrip

 Wendy went on a field trip to the Fire Station.  She saw firemen, and fire trucks.  Her favorite part was going into the fire truck.  It was fun to see her interact with all the kids in her class.  She is such a petite little cutie.  Hyrum was also able to tag along and enjoyed it.

Puddle Fun!

We had a nice rain storm and then the kids found the puddles.  They had a great time getting wet, muddy, and splashing each other with their bikes.  They also had a great time cleaning off in the shower that evening.

It's a Girl!

All the Flamm's are thrilled to welcome another

Girl!!

Zachary said it needed to be a girl for Wendy, and Wendy was sure from the beginning that it was a girl.  We are excited to have another little angel join our family.
