Write everything down!

I have learned two

very important

lessons in my life.

I don't remember

the first one, but

the second one is

write everything 

down.

Grandmummy's Boo Bash...

Colby guessed the exact number of candy corns in the jar, 900! Grey guessed 901.

Marvelous mummies! 

Cash and Grey won the best mummy wrap. 

Colby was helping Cash learn a song.

I love the leaf owls and leaf triceratops that Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm made! 

Grahm helped make breadsticks 

to go with our Halloween chili. 

Cash made mummy dogs and they were so good!

Chris gave the boys wire brain teaser puzzles several years ago. They get the puzzles out often and try to solve them. It was sweet how they were trying to help each other.

Of course we had a traditional treasure hunt. The boys took turns hiding mummies. After they found them Grey and Grahm played Poke the Mummy to find clues and Cash and Colby popped balloon mummies to find their clues. Grandpa always comes up with the best clues and they solved the riddles to get a little prize.

Lots of helpers to decorate our mummy cake! 

Grey's favorite green lips! 

We watched Sleeping Beauty, I don't think the boys had seen it. They liked the movie and fell fast asleep after it was over.

The next morning Grandpa made Swedish pancakes. It was something his Nana made and he made them often when Chris and Mark were younger. Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm thought they were delicious!

We played unwrap the mummy and Halloween charades. Grahm surprised me, he was so good at acting out clues. 

One more game with Gramps before it's time to go home.

Cute mummy bags to go!

After Cash, Colby, Colby, and Grey arrived we were sitting around the table about to play Halloween bingo. I felt inspired to tell them how much we loved them. I don't remember everything I said but it was a few very sweet moments. I do remember telling them that the day each one of them were born was another dream come true for us and among the very happiest days of our lives. I told them they can count on us for advice and they can call or visit us if they need someone to talk to. I also told them that we pray for them and want them to have happy lives. I looked over at Cash and he had tears in his eyes. I will lock the memories of our time together in my heart forever.

A few days later the boys and Jack were all ready for a fun night of trick or treating!
