Another Great Weekend

I guess our weekend kind of started on Thursday night. My mom watched Boston while Zariph and I went to the temple. It was great going back, it had been too long. Then we went for dinner to Santa Monica pizza and shared a calzone. It was very good!

Friday...Well, let me start with last Friday, Zariph asked if we had plans yet for this weekend. I said we didn't. He said for me to line up a babysitter and he was planning a date. It was determined that it would be a late date, so we decided to invite Teliece to come watch Boston for us and spend the night. I was glad she was able to, so that Boston could still go to bed at his normal time in his own bed. So, then this last Friday we started our date with dinner at PF Changs.

So yummy! I love their crisp honey shrimp. Then we walked from there to our next event - which I still didn't know what it was. Everywhere we were walking by I was like, "Is it at the Energy Solutions Arena?" "Is it at the Planetarium?" I really didn't know what we were doing, until we walked past the Gateway and I saw The Depot and on their sign outside it said They Might Be Giants was playing there that night. What a great surprise! It was a fun night. They played their entire Flood CD, with a few new songs mixed in here and there. Hearing those songs reminded me of when I was first dating Zariph back in high school. It was a nice little reminiscing date. Zariph planned a great surprise!

Here is our lovely view from the second floor. The little balcony in front of us was reserved seating, so most of the night we watched the drummer or the big screen overhead that was filming the whole stage.

Here is a little video clip for you to enjoy.

Halloween Weekend

We have had a great Halloween weekend.

Friday night we went down to Lagoon for Frightmares. Zariph wanted to go out and do something "Halloween-y", because we hadn't done anything on the "scary" side of Halloween, yet. So, I looked for some discounts and found some tickets on KSL for pretty cheap. She was selling a set of four so we invited Teliece to come with us. It was cold, but fun.

He didn't cry at all on the rides this time!

Saturday we went over to my mom's house in the early evening. We had chili and hung out.

Boston's trying to steal some candy. BTW, I taught him the sign for candy in preperation for this holiday. He picked it up within one day and loves to make the sign whenever I say candy.

Glenda and Dorothy

Then we went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. Boston loved picking out his candy from neighbors selection and putting it in his Spiderman bowl. He got the hang of that pretty fast!

He was excited. I think he knows what this was all about, at least better than last year.

Playing with Kimmy

There are FOUR new posts today...So keep scrolling.

On Wednesday, we went outside to play again, so that I could rake all the leaves off the patio. While we were outside, Kimmy came over to play with us. We played for about a half hour outside, then it was too cold so we went inside. (By the way, I was able to rake most of the leaves into a pile, I just need to go out again today and get it all cleaned up.)

Kimmy showed Boston how to dig in the leaves.

The phones for you.

I think the flash was too bright, she closed her eyes in all the pictures I took of her with Boston's Mickey ears.

She kept telling me the cow was broken...(the letters are magnetic, and come apart)

Boston to the rescue...He found the head and put it on for her.

Trick-or-Treat

The lightsaber from Dollartree, Zariph will buy all things Star Wars for Boston.

Boston loves climbing up on this stool. It's right by the window so he can stand on it and look out.

First Snow

Tuesday was our first snow of the year. I really wanted to go out with Boston and play, but we didn't go until after naptime, so most of the snow was already melted. Here are some pictures from our adventure: I thought I was bundeling Boston up, too much and that we'd be taking some things off when we got outside. Luckily, I had bundeled him up that much, it was SOOO COLD!

See? There's some snow in this picture...

Carving Pumpkins

Monday night for FHE, we carved pumpkins (we got free pumpkins last Saturday at J & J, including a hay ride). It's been many years since I've carved a pumpkin, I thought we could just use a knife, but Zariph wanted templates, so I went out hunting for something. I found a kit at JoAnn's for two knives and 10 templates to choose from, it was $9.99, but was 60% off! Score! Here are some photos from our fun evening:

I stripped Boston down because I thought he would get messy. He actually didn't care that much to get his hands in it, he just watched us.

Can you guess what Zariph's pumpkin will be?

Can you guess what my pumpkin will be?

Ta-Da!

The finished projects...A dragon and Frankenstein and his wife dancing in front of the full moon.
