Multiple Nelsons

We had dinner with the Sister Missionaries from our church tonight.  The kids were crazy before, during and after dinner knowing they were going trick-or-treating tonight.  We started about 30 minutes later than I wanted but at least the kids went.  Lasted only 5-8 houses and got just enough candy. Letterland Character Parade @ School "Jacolena" and one of her friends, Lauren.  Lauren is also in "Jacolena's" special needs dance class and also has a twin brother! Happy to be done with the Parade. At the beginning of the parade. Waitin' for the parade to start.  It was pretty chaotic for the Kindergarteners trying to figure out where and when to start.   Opps, Sideways.  This was at soccer last week.  Couldn't resist to get a picture.

 Falling asleep like this... don't you think it would be uncomfortable? Mr. "Cool Man" put this hat on by himself, backwards. :) NC State Fair First off was the History part of the Fair. This year at the State Fair we went somewhere different - The NC Forestry Exhibit.  HUGE hit with the kids.  The helicopters, sawmill, airplane, free stuff (erasers, posters, rulers, stickers, games) and learning about the outdoors part.  Worth it.   Then we met up with Troy's brothers at the PBS/UNC Kid's tent.  Usually we spend at least an hour there but for some reason the kids didn't last as long there.  Maybe they are just getting older or maybe it was because Troy's brother's had just met up with us. NOTE: Troy's brothers are in town for a "Bro's Weekend".  They went to a Seattle Seahawks/Carolina Panther's Game. After that we headed over the National Guard are so the kids could...

At the end of a Not-so-good day, this is what the kids starting doing. They put together this puzzle after family scripture reading.  You would never know with this picture, that these three kids all got frowny faces for their behavior today.  But, These are the moments I have to remember and cherish.     And having your two year old out a glowstick in his pajamas. 😄

Getting out the costumes for the Church Trunk or Treat.  Jare Bear has had this best friend, Tucker P. since last school year.  The Twins finally have best friends! (Jackie's is a friend in her current class, Olivia) I never thought it would ever happen. :) He misses his friend now that they are at different schools but we still can have play dates at the park.

 When I downloaded my Ipad pictures I had 355 pictures!  Most of them were black (from the kids not opening up the flap) or from the kids taking THESE types of pictures.   Fall Soccer Season   Another Saturday morning filled with Soccer games.  Crazy A actually touched/kicked the ball a 2 Saturdays ago!!  Missa playing goalie.  She loves playing goalie so I am not sure what is the issue in the picture.  LDS General Conference Weekend  Aunt Sherbie came to visit us a few weeks ago around LDS General Conference weekend.  There were MANY shopping trips and this was just one of the ones I actually went on with two of my kids.  You think she could walk in 5" inch heals with a 2" raise? Not me! Sunday Morning of 2 weekends ago, I decided to scrap my idea of what I wanted to do on Sunday morning before LDS General Conference.  Instead I spent the morning doing manicures on the k...
