I can't believe another Thanksgiving is come and gone. It seems like we just ended summer. We had a nice Thanksgiving. The kids were all healthy and somewhat happy. Even Matthew was good considering he only had maybe a 10 minute nap all day. I did not stuff myself as usual but still don't understand why the scale still went up. I think scales should be outlawed. Today was a boring day for the kids all their friends weren't home so me and the three oldest went to see Bolt. It was a very cute show and they enjoyed it. Emma is not my movie watcher and half way through the show she was ready to go home. Matthew stayed home with Ryan and slept the entire time we were gone. I have been trying to get all the Christmas decorations put up. But Matthew moves them before I get them in place. I decided to not put everything up, I'll leave a few of the more breakable things in boxes maybe in a few years they will be a little less at risk. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Today we headed out for the zoo. Packed a lunch and the kids dressed in their Halloween costumes for what is called Boo at the Zoo. When we started to get closer to the Zoo and cars were parked all along the road should have told us go home, go home. It was crazy people everywhere. There were so many people at the zoo, in fact I think all of Salt Lake was there. The crazy thing was people were standing in line to get candy for 10 minutes. When you got to the front you got a butterscotch. Hello! I want Chocolate. Our kids luckly did not care about the candy. So, we just went and around and looked at the animals. Which most of them were hiding due to their were so many people.

Then we took our first ride on Legecy Highway, very pretty and not a crazy as I-15. Rushed home made a batch of cookies and got dressed to go to Ryan's family Halloween party. Wow! I love fake eyelashes. The kids never go to bed for a babysitter. Church is going to be a beast.

We spent the weekend up at Bear Lake. It was beautiful this weekend compared to the 6 inches of snow we had last weekend. Grandma has redone the cabin and bought new couches for the cabin. So we went up to bring the old couches home. I now have a couch in the basment for any visitors to come and stay. The kids got along really well. Until the ride home. Megan decided to sit in the second row, due to the fact she keeps getting car sick. Well she did alright until the end of Logan. Then she got bored and she did everything she could to make the rest of us crazy. Mind you Matthew was trying to sleep. I think Ryan was driving faster just to get home to get her out of the car. Now they are finally in bed for what seems like such a short time. Because as soon as I am sound asleep I am sure to have one cry or climb in bed.
