Look at those sweet brown eyes, he was just a sweet little warm lump all day. It could have been frustrating, but I think because he was my little #4 I just enjoyed holding him and taking a day off to just be with him.

Holding Jake
He's such a darling boy but so sad when he's sick. The day he was sick he just wanted to be held. I didn't accomplish anything on the day's task list, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning up after the other kids, or really parenting the other kids, yet I was busy all day holding Jake.

Happy Halloween
It was another fun year of trick-or-treating and all sorts of fun-having! These little cuties sure had a lot of fun!
They were quite the little crew. We went trick-or-treating with our friends The Whitehead family. We loved going house-to-house and seeing all our friends while candy-gathering.
Madeline was, obviously, a scary, feathery witch. She did such a great job playing the part.
Hailey was a sweet little fairy.She is so adorable. 
Lindsey was a scary pirate! We've been pretty candy-free for 2 days now thanks to a ward activity where kids could bring their extra candy to donate to primaries in Africa for children who've never had candy.
Jacob is such a fun little boy! He smiles and laughs a lot, he dances and makes silly voices. He loves to wrestle. He's also really tender still and snuggly! I love my little man. He says lots of words, including "shoes".
The other day I was busy cleaning something, or making something, or helping someone and I just kept hearing Jake say "shoe-ss, shoe-ss, shoe-ss". I could feel him nudging me. He was just in a shirt and diaper but he wanted his shoes on. So I stopped whatever I was doing and helped the sweet little guy. He was one happy boy running around with his "shoe-ss" on.
Haircut anyone?
Apparently we have a budding little hair stylist. Maybe more of a hair cuttist than a hair stylist. Hailey has cut her hair multiple times but never seems to learn the lesson. This time I had a busy day and couldn't take her in to get it cleaned up until late afternoon but I should have because it made me a little grumpy all day. I called her my little 70's orphan. The 70's can only come back in doses and please don't let the mullet return - "business in front, party in back" never again.
