Yay, Halloween is over and the candyfest begins. We had a great night, every one had fun and it wasn't very cold. Kenna liked giving out the candy as much as trick-or-treating. Katie was a die-hard. She just wanted to keep going and going. Here are my cuties. Katie was a Muskateer.
Kenna was a princess, of course. This is Chase, fitting as he is a clown.

Connor is either a dementor or an elf from Lord of the Rings, depending on how he felt.

Happy Halloween!

Dancing with Daddy

Almost every night, our little Diva has to dance with her Daddy. They put on quite a show and believe me, she loves every bit of attention and we must clap or else. I think it's funny

that no one taught her the hand movements or poses, but she does very well. You would think she watches Dancing with the Stars, but she doesn't. She did watch Strictly Ballroom with Cerese and I though. Maybe she picked up a few tips. I guess some things you are just born
with. Mike may not be to happy with me when he sees this, but luckily he doesn't look at my blog much. I think it is a great thing and someday a memory for them both. Many nights, she will put on one of her princess dresses and a veil. Side note, I made her shirt and pants. Mike thinks that pants are hideous, but I think they have personality. What's your vote?

I haven't posted for away, because honestly my life is pretty boring and I don't have much to tell. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Boring with children usually means everyone is healthy and doing well. So here is a normal day for us. Wake up at 6:00 and make breakfast. Connor is out the door by 6:50. Katie and Chase get up around 7:15-7:30. Chase leaves for school at 8:20 and Kate at 8:35. Then I take Kenna and go to the gym for an hour. After we get home and shower, I usually try to run any errands before Katie gets home at 12:00 or I try to do something with Kenna. When Kate gets home, we have lunch and read stories. In the afternoon (all the time, it feels like) I try to do cleaning and yard work or whatever comes up. I try to be home and not busy when the boys come home, because that is the best time to talk to them. One of the few times they will talk. Con is home at 2:30 and Chase at 3:30. Then I finish any tasks and cook dinner. We do homework after dinner. I read to the kids, have scriptures and try to get them in bed by eight-thirty. There you have it, a most exciting day in the Wallace household. It seems like I am always busy, but never get anything done. I don't know how moms that work do it. When there is free time, I like to read, sew, work in my yard, and do projects, right now I'm trying to get all the wallpaper off so I can repaint Katelyn's room,
