In the meantime...Awesome Autumn Activities

Today I am watching contractions and the clock, to see if they will develop into enough of a pattern to warrant a trip to the hospital. I was about to say I didn't think so, but then, I just had another contraction.

Who knows?

IN THE MEANTIME...we have been busy making preparations for baby and other crafty endeavors. I am so glad that Shanda has been here this week. One of the reasons is that Barry had 74 hours for the week when he got home from work late last night. It has been great to have a sister to help with the kids and keep me company!

Since Barry hasn't had a chance to get to the storage unit to get any of our Halloween/Autumn decorations, I bought and made this little pumpkin display.

These are the Halloween invitations we came up with for Shanda's Halloween party she is throwing back in Colorado when she leaves us. We finished assembling those last night.

This was actually our activity a few weeks ago for family home evening. We made caramel apples and had intended to deliver some to friends, but instead have been enjoying them ourselves.

Ah the sweetness of Autumn! (Just keep bringing that thermometer down!)

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
