Halloween night Rory had to work, so the kids, Connor's friend Chet, and I went trick or treating around Wellington and up to "Snob Hill." The kids made a killing on the candy and we were home and ready for bed by 9:00 since it was a school night. Kadee was Wonder Woman, Kinlee was a pop star, Matthew was a Halo guy, and Connor was a guy riding an ostrich. 
Last week I had a training in SLC, so I didn't get to do my weekly blog post. Friday Rory and Connor headed to Colorado to go hunting, so of course the kids and I decided to have some fun of our own. Friday Kadence got to go with the Student Council to BYU for a conference. She really enjoyed it and was so excited to hear Hank Smith (one of our favorite motivational speakers) speak. She said she learned a lot about being an example and being kind to everyone she meets. She has matured so much this year it's crazy.
Saturday we went to see the new Trolls movie and then had a tea party complete with cookies, apple juice, and grandma Reed's china. This week has been hard without Rory being around to help me with the kids. I am so far behind on laundry it's crazy, but we have made it to all our activities and even managed to make it to my choir practice, get homework done, and do a service project. Last night we got together with some other police wives in the area and tied ribbons for the WVC officer who was killed this past week. They want ribbons for everyone to wear at his funeral, so we felt it was the least we could do for his sacrifice. It's a scary world we live in. I pray everyday I can teach my kids to be good people and to be contributing members of society. I'm grateful for the wonderful people in our lives who are examples to them and so far I'm pretty proud of how they are turning out.
