Apparently my frumpy mom costume was quite frightening and made the kids cry. Success.
I guess Mr. Incredible isn't so tough, after all.
We visited This is the Place Heritage Park during their "Little Haunts Days," where the kids could dress up in their costumes and trick-or-treat througout the pioneer village.

How did I get to be the luckiest Grandma in the world? Jack is the cutest, smartest, most tender, little Jack in the whole wide world! I love that boy...and his Momma!
I must admit your costume scared me, too! What a fun fall with so many activities. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful memories with us. Can't wait for even more.
Haha, you are a funny girl. I can think of a few other scenarios that might make Jack cry...rather than it being brought on by any frumpiness whatsoever. You are my beautiful, put-together sister/friend and I love you and that little boy. Way to blog. :)
Totally cool 2nd grader. Sports enthusiast. Book lover. Math whiz.

"It is impossible to avoid pain; you must walk through it or it will wait for you around every corner. And it is impossible to numb pain; you must experience it fully to come cleanly out the other side."
"A woman with a mother heart has a testimony of the restored gospel, and she teaches the principles of the gospel without equivocation. She is keeping sacred covenants made in holy temples. Her talents and skills are shared unselfishly. She gains as much education as her circumstances will allow, improving her mind and spirit with the desire to teach what she learns to the generations who follow her."
