Rex started school again this week. He was so excited to see all of his old buddies again. He is now gone four days a week during the afternoon. The best part is that we have a school bus that comes right up to our home to pick up and drop off Rex each day. It can't get any better than that!




I went into Old Navy yesterday to buy myself a sweatshirt and somehow came out with these two costumes. While walking to the back of the store Rex saw this red dragon costume and went bananas over it. He doesn't even really care about dragons but he really digs the costume for some reason. Then Ella saw the monkey costume and immediately started saying Curious George over and over. I tried to show her the cute butterfly costume but she kept telling me "no." I had planned on picking out their costumes this year, maybe something that went together but as you can see Rex and Ella had their own agenda. I suppose there will be other Halloween years in which Ella will want to be a princess or a butterfly just not this year. I guess this is what we are going with since they are super happy with what they picked out. Rex is constantly asking us to help him put his costume on.....who needs Halloween when you can wear the costume everyday?


We went to a ward activity last night that was centered around apples. The kids played a bunch of games and were awarded prizes just for their effort. We all made our own caramel apples that were oh-so good. Ella had a worm painted on her face and was very proud of it, but she believed that it was a snake and not a worm.
