It turns out that Butterflies don't really fly

Today after Mckinley's Halloween party at preschool, Mckinley didn't want to come in the house at all. She spent most of the day out playing in her new castle that Grandpa made her out of a washer box, and flying off of things...you know, the way a butterfly does. Well, at some point she decided she could fly off of her toy car and fell on the ground on her arm. She came running up to the house crying that she had broken her arm. After looking it over and I must confess, a bit of yelling at her, (my sympathy stores are a little low after she has already had 2 broken arms at 4 years old.) we gave her some Tylenol and took her to the instacare. She fell asleep while we were waiting for her to get x-rays and while she was having the x-rays taken, she was in so much pain that I was sure it must be broken. However, the Dr. wasn't able to see an obvious break, but because the pain is in her elbow, sometimes fractures can be hard to see. So the Dr. sent the x-rays to a radiologist and we wont know until tomorrow if it's broken or not. Until then, this little butterfly has a broken wing:(

Mckinley's preschool Halloween party

Mckinley had a Halloween party at preschool today. She has been so excited about it and when we woke her up this morning to tell her that she could put her costume on, she just smiled really big and closed her eyes and fell back asleep. She dressed up as a butterfly and everything had to be just the way she wanted it. This is what we ended up with. We were a little late getting her to school, and as soon as she walked in, all the other kids were so excited to see her and her costume. Preschoolers are so cute. She had so much fun. We got a picture of all the kids coming out after their party, and as soon as she saw that her dad was taking a picture she stopped and held up her treat bag. How did she know we wanted a picture of her treat bag? haha!

Halloween Fun!

We have had a fun filled month getting ready for Halloween. Now that it's almost here I have decided to post a few of the things we have done.
We made this Halloween gingerbread house for a family home evening. There is even a pumpkin patch with worms and a few rows of corn in it. (a lot more productive than my garden this year.)

We also went to the Staheli farm corn maze in St. George. We had so much fun last year that we couldn't wait to go again this year. We weren't disappointed. It was just as much fun as last year, and there were even some new attractions this year like a redneck trampoline which was a bunch of mattresses piled really high and lined with hay bales, and pig races. We got lost in the maze and it was very "corny" but oh so much fun too. haha! Mckinley could not wait to get done with the corn maze because she wanted to go back to the farm and get a popcorn ball. (that was her favorite part about last year.) My favorite part this time was a tie between the pig races where my favorite pig kept winning, and being goosed in the corn maze whenever my husband could get away with it. Quite a toss up.

Cute Pictures!

These were some pictures we took quite a while ago and I am just now getting around to posting them. Don't I have a cute family? We were looking at leaves up the canyon and I was so happy that I remembered the camera to get these cute pictures.
Totally not related, but today we went to the SUU Homecoming parade and one of the sexy SUU dancers kept winking at David while they were dancing. He got so self conscious, he hid his face and turned bright red. "She keeps winking at me, Love!" he said. I could not stop laughing because it reminded me of when we were dating and he was always so shy about me flirting with him. I love him.
