Therapy?

This is Kenzie's jack-o'-lantern... should I be concerned?

Scooping Guts

For family night last night we continued the tradition of carving pumpkins before the teenagers smash them in the road. We usually only have one pumpkin smashed each year, and Sydni's jack-o-lantern is up this year. We'll see if the local hooligans follow the schedule.

Flying Beverage

I've had a couple of requests for the "Beverage Story" alluded to in my last post, so I'll fill you all in. They had a pinata set up in a corner of the cultural hall of our church, and had pushed all of the tables back away from it. The kids were supposed to stand "in the corner" and swing at the pinata. When Kenzie got up to take a whack at it, she managed to turn herself around so that she was standing in front of a table swinging at the pinata. Those sitting at the table were at the opposite side, so I'm sure they felt safe. But one of them had left a full cup of orange punch sitting in the middle of the table. When Mackenzie pulled the stick back to swing, she hit the glass and sent it flying onto those seated at the table. Luckily, they were good sports about it.

What Up My Peeps?

The famous rap group of Mack Daddy, Queen LaTiffa, Lil' "E", and B. Diddy were seen Saturday night at our Ward Halloween Party. Although they declined numerous requests to perform, they enjoyed watching Kenzie whack a pinata while sending a beverage flying, Emma and Maddy clean up on Ho-Ho's at the cakewalk, and my neice Brigitta discover a gift for darts.

Size Matters

I just finished putting away all of the newborn clothes that Britton has grown out of and "restocking" his dressing table with bigger clothes. He's just growing so fast! Can anybody tell me how to slow that down? Of course, he's getting longer alot faster than he's getting wider, so he's definately a Leavitt child.

We're cleaning out the garage today so that Syd can have a party in there tonight. It's the only room in the house that's big enough to hold fifteen 12 & 13 year-olds. We'll haul out a t.v., dvd player, and couch and hope that I can figure out how to hook everything back up again. Post-it notes will definately be used!

Kenzie, Emma, and Maddy are off track for the next three weeks, so we are trying to stay entertained here. They were excited when I told them I started a family blog, but then disappointed when there were no pictures of them yet. Syd hates having her picture anywhere, but as a member of this family, she's getting one posted too. I will have to sneak one of Don, though.

I'm going to give this a try. I've got to be honest - I'm not sure what to write about at the moment, so I'll just put on some pictures for now and work on the posts later.
