Halloween Treats

  We decided to try to get a little more festive this year for Halloween.  I told the girls we would do "Halloween treats" each week.

Week 1
  Sugar Cookies, Heather, Hanna and Justice came a little later to join us with this treat!

 The girls decided that the cookies tasted gross with candy on them lol

 Week 2
  Dirt cups

Week 3

  Bats

Week 4

  Slime

 

 Week 4

   Ghost S'mores, this one was actually pretty funny and delicious all at the same time.  I literally set the timer of the oven for 1 minutes which as you can see was waaaay to long!  But the burnt marshmallow came right off and they were amazing!!!

October Book Report

  For this months book report Kabree made a clay penguin.  Keagan decided she was being left out of all the fun so she made a clay rainbow like the back of the clay box :).  Kabree is LOVING these creative book reports!!!

Wild Adventure Corn Maze

  As always Zachs work gives us free tickets the the Wild Adventure Corn Maze.  This year we were thinking of bagging it because I had hurt my leg a couple days before and was still limping but the girls LOVE it and it's one of their favorite traditions every October so we decided to go and only do the medium maze.  The girls loved it and had fun as always.  This year Keagan got the courage to do the zipline and loved it!!

O.N. Tour

  Heather invited us to tour ON Semiconductor, Grandpa and Grandma joined in too.  The girls loved seeing where Heather works and what they do!  Kabree said "it was pretty amazing!"  Honestly, it is pretty cool what they do and the tour was fun.  I won't lie I was dying by the end though (I had hurt my thigh muscle and all the stairs killed me, which I found out from the Doctor the next day was the worst thing I could have done).  The kids loved that they got to make rockets, eat "green" ON cookies, got new water bottles (they have used them everyday since) and cool ON lanyards.  Keagan did say that the suits they wear give her nightmares so she would not try them on.  She did stand behind the cardboard cut out though ;).  After the tour we all met up at Tastee Treat for dinner and ice cream.

Black Eye, Round Two

  Believe it or not I got a call from the school 10 days out from Kabree breaking her nose to tell me there was an incident at the school.  Apparently, Kabee was playing soccer and she tripped over a kindergartner, the little boy fell on her and hit her top eye bone with the back of his head.  The office said it looked awful and they were worried a little bit.  But she wasn't crying or complaining at all.  That's our Kabree she is the toughest kid I know!!  We decided to let her stay at school but after school she said it had hurt all day and her eye was pretty bad already; swollen and dark.  We decided to walk down to the Walkers and have Brad take a look at it!  He checked her nose and her eye bone and said her nose cartilage was still swollen but considering everything she looked good.
  The next morning Kabree's eye was half way swollen shut and BLACK!!!  She did not want to go to school but we eventually we convinced her.  We have decided we might need to bubble wrap this girl for the next year!!

This is the picture I got from the school right after it happened

 These are 3 hours later right after school

 This was the next day, she was embarrassed to show how her eye couldn't open all the way.

This is a few days in, the swelling went down but her eye stayed purple and black for over a week!

Magic Tree House

  Kabree has to do 2 book reports a month based on certain topics.  This month was your favorite author.  Kabree's favorite books are The Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne.  For one of her book reports she took an AR test and for the other one she decided she wanted to make a tree house.  She had great ideas and got to work; she did have to have some help with the cutting of the popsicle sticks and  the hot glue gun but it turned out great!

Broken Bones

  Who ever said boys aren't for the faint of heart never met our Kabree!!!  This kid is so tuff and active that she is beating us all with stitches and broken bones.  So you would think that gymnastics or playing goalie in soccer is where Kabree would break her nose, nope in our own backyard!
  The kids were playing dodge ball on the trampoline and Kabree came down with the ball hard and hit her nose right into someones forehead.  They hit so hard that the other kid had a bruise and a bump where her nose hit them.  Her nose swelled up and wouldn't stop bleeding so Zach took her in. I was on the way to Utah with my siblings and parents for a funeral and Zach was getting ready to go sing in his Quartet for the Saturday session of Stake Conference.  Luckily our babysitters were able to run over 20 minutes early so Zach could run Kab to the doctor.  She lucked out because it was a up and down break and not a right to left break so hopefully, fingers crossed her nose will heal with no bumps and will heal straight.  So far things look great!
  The hardest thing for Kabree was no outside recess, no soccer and no gymnastics, or exercise for 7 days!!!  She did try to find a loop hole, the one day her teacher left for lunch so she asked another teacher if she could go outside for recess and they let her and she ran the track!!!  But after I talked with the office, everyone was aware and kept little Miss inside the rest of the week!
  Kabree didn't want people to know she had broke her nose except for her close friends so when people would look at her and ask her why her nose was green colored she would just look at them and tell them they were weird lol.  By the end of the first week her eyes and face were all pretty crazy colored so she had to confess she broke her nose by then ;)
  Kab was such a trooper and would only say her nose was sore but never complained about pain, having to ice her face or not being able to do her normal activities.  We sure love this tuff nut of ours and are grateful she has healed so well!
