The nude chef strikes again!

Well this time he actually did have clothes on, but Isaac thought he would expand his culinary skills into using real food. The other day my friend and her little girl were over. She and I were sitting in the living room just talking away while the kids were playing in the other room. All the sudden we noticed that things had been very quiet. Just then, Austin came around the corner holding a half gone yogurt and had what looked like an egg shell stuck to his foot. I ran in the kitchen to find Isaac standing over the biggest mess I think I've ever seen. He had taken all of the remaining eggs that were in the carton (probably at least 1/2 dozen or so) and cracked them(or crapped as he calls it) all over the huge griddle that he managed to get out and onto the floor. He must have put them in the pitcher first and mixed in milk, raisins and yogurt before dumping it on the griddle. I wished that I would have taken a picture of the disaster-it was everywhere-and for the record, eggs are VERY hard to clean up! Needless to say, he spent sometime in his room-mainly for punishment but also so he wouldn't see me laughing at his little mind. He said, "I was just making some eggs". Oh boy, you never know what he is going to come up with!!

Apple Dumplings with Bumpa and Granny




A few weeks ago Jonathan's parents came to visit for one last trip before they head off on their mission to Scotland. They were a ton of help since I've been so sick and the kids had SUCH a fun time. Bumpa Brett made his famous apple dumplings fresh from the apples off of their tree in Idaho-yumm!~ It was so fun to have them and Isaac asks about every day since they left if Granny and Bumpa are coming. Luckily we will be there for Thanksgiving which will be a happy/sad time since they leave the Monday after.

The Incredible Manwarings



This year for Halloween we decided to all dress up like the "Incredibles" since our family had just the perfect "make-up" (Mr. Incredible, Elasti-girl, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack). We all loved it! We went to our ward's Halloween chili cook-off/carnival/trunk-or-treat. We got way, way too much candy!! I have no idea what we will do with it all! We were so grateful that one of the awesome residents that works with Jonathan offered to cover for him for a few hours so that he could come spend some of Halloween with us-we just wouldn't have been complete with out the most incredible of all!! We were all so glad he was with us!! Hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween!!
