Fun

Its crazy how fast time goes.  Since my last post we had Halloween and Thanksgiving.  All of Sept. I was without my camera because I accidentally left it at Mikes sister's house (it's a forty five min to an hour drive one way) and finally got it back the beginning of Oct.  The first sat. of Oct. I was able to take Ben & Kristen to Calloways (the Local Nursery) and they got to each get a small pumpking and decorated it along with planting some grass and a small picture area.  They loved being able to have their own pumpkins and Ben kept saying "My pumpkin."  The Sunday before Halloween we carved just one of the the pumpkins since the second had rotted before we got to use it but the kids still had fun helping even though it was just a little bit.  Then on Halloween Ben and I went Trick or Treating.  Kristen got to stay home due to being too sick to go out.  Ben was willing to share his candy though.  We went to about two dozen houses and Ben had fun saying Trick or Treat.  He went as Bob the builder.  Thanks to stuff I already had, I only spent about five dollars for the shirt and yellow paint.  Kristen would have been Ladybug. 
November came and things weren't as hectic.  Ben has started into this thing where he likes to take a candle, Sing happy birthday (ie Happy .... to You...) and blow out the candle even though it's not lit.  He loves even more when they are lit though and will ask for the candle to be lit several times.   Thanksgiving was good.  Lots of good food, company, etc.  I wish we could have been in Utah with my Family though. 
Among all this, I'm pregnant(about 5 -5 1/2 months).  I can't post pictures because Mike's tower is no longer working right now.  It will cost anywhere from $100 - $350 to have it looked at and fixed.  Mike thinks it might be the power box due to the fact the every thing that you have to have pluged into the tower still had power but the tower wouldn't turn on.  But amid all the wrong a quote keeps coming back to me from our Stake Conference.  I forget what the talk was about but what stuck with me from his talk was "If I can't ask 'Why Me' on all my success', then I can't say 'Why Me' on all my troubles and trials."
