So I haven't felt like blogging lately. I'm not sure why, I seem to have a general blah-ness about life lately. I think it's because it's sooooo slow at work I'm bored all day and that just makes life seem so bleak. I know that's just silly, I work so I can live, not the other way around, but you know what I mean. So, this is my attempt to shake off 'life' and just enjoy it instead!
Halloween at the Whickers was great - and chaotic! Nathan's oldest brother's wife, Angie, and her kids were in from Hawaii. They came down from Flag with Nathan's parents for Halloween weekend. It was so fun to watch the kids play - Katherine at 9 months, Luke at 17ish months, and Kyle at 4 years. They were all mimicking each other, Katherine getting into everything and learning how to speed crawl (seriously) and Luke and Kyle reverting back to crawling, to the great dismay of Angie. Luke and Katherine seemed to have a secret language worked out by the end of their visit.
Angie, Nathan and I carved pumpkins... all of them. I actually got away pretty easy with only doing most of one, as I had to go feed the baby - HA!
We all went trick or treating, except for David who stayed behind to pass out candy and keep an eye on dinner. It was hilarious as Luke would run into each house as soon as the front door was opened - Forget the candy, I'm coming in! We'd have to go retrieve him each time.
We had Katherine in a stroller with a baby-sized basket. We got a few pictures and were then along for the adventure. Everyone looked great and fun was had by all.
Angie, Sandy and I made a home made apple pie - okay we bought pre-made crust but I still count that as home made. It was fun and turned out a bit too nutmegy but otherwise delicious!
This was a big weekend for Katherine because she was able to meet her Great Grandma and Grandpa for the first time! Sandy's Mom had walking pneumonia forever so we couldn't take the baby to see her, even though they live in Phoenix. She finally kicked it and got to meet her Great Granddaughter! I wasn't there, had to work, but I hear it was a great time and she was showered in love.
We went to the fair on Sunday. It was hilarious, we blew through a ridiculous amount of money on food, entry tickets, parking and 3 rides for the kiddos in no time at all! Oh well, we had a good time so it was worth it. No I'm not pregnant, but geeze I sure do look like it in this picture!
After all our guests were gone Katherine very graciously offered to help me with the laundry. What a doll.

So fun! You guys looked very cute. And how great of Katherine to help with the laundry! I love that girl. :)
I love the prison costumes- my mom found a black and white onesie that said "Sleep thief" on it...too cute! My favorite picture has got to be the one where she (and a cousin, I am assuming) have their little faces sticking out of the cut out. HAHAAAA!! Sounds like you had a great time with family. Are we still on for Friday??
