Karys' first taste of frozen blueberries.  She loved them!  Then they got really mushy and messy . . . ;)

This is what you would see if you would drive past our house.  I can't believe it!  We decided to put it up on the market and see what happens.  I know that God will sell it if He has a better house our there for us.  We love love LOVE our house but it is starting to feel a little small, especially the kitchen and eating area.  The sign went up while I was gone today and I came back to a facebook message from our sweet neighbor across the street that said "a horrible sign was put up in your front yard, please tell me it isn't true!"  I walked over there right away to give her a hug and talk to her for a little bit.  After that, I walked back across the street to find our next door neighbor, Mike, standing in his driveway with his hands up in the air saying, "Sara!!!"  Our mail lady even knocked on the door and told us we weren't allowed to move!  Our neighbors makes it really really hard to think about moving.  We love our neighbors!  Samuel is also having a little bit of a hard time with the whole idea of our house being for sale.  When he first saw the sign and I started to explain it to him, his bottom lip quivered and he looked at me and said, "you're joking, Mom!"  It has helped to continue making it clear to him that everything in our house will go with us when we move - his toys, bed, etc etc.

Happy Halloween!!  We went to Trunk or Treat at our Church on Wednesday night.  The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast!  The crowds were crazy though!!  An estimated 2000 people were there.  It was nuts.  The kids did really good waiting in the lines though and we had good conversation with friends while we slowly moved from trunk to trunk.  The forecast for Halloween night was super cold and rainy so I think a lot of people took advantage of the beautiful weather and decided to do their trick-or-treating early!
Hope is a princess robot (totally her awesome idea!), Samuel was a pirate, and Aliyah was a "purple Cinderella"

Today, I took the kids to Daryl's work in the afternoon to go trick or treating at all of the cubicles.  I love that his work does this - especially because it was really rainy this year!  A warm and dry place to go trick or treating is awesome!  And then this evening we stayed home and gave away all the candy we didn't want our kids to eat!  A win-win situation. :)
