1. Jake is home! Jake left Friday morning to go visit his high school friends in Colorado for the weekend. He tries to do it once a year. This year he decided to go this weekend since the BYU/CSU game was on Saturday. He had a good, safe trip- but the boys and I missed him very much. It's nice to have him home. Even though I'm home most of the day without him, it really is nice to look forward to his company in the evening, and certainly I realize all the more JUST HOW MUCH he helps on the weekends.

2. "Tick or Treat'n". This is what Josh said as he went house to house instead of "Trick or treat" I guess because all day long I'd been asking him if he was excited to go trick or treat'n!

3. Relief Society. Because I was released from young women's I went to Relief Society for the first time in a very long time on Sunday. I have to admit it felt a little strange at first- but the sisters are very kind and it wasn't long before I felt the Spirit and once again part of this great sisterhood.

4. Treats??? We didn't have as many trick or treaters as I'd expected, and of course Dekker and Josh got quite the stash of goods- and so now we have lots of treats around. I'm not quite sure if I should be thankful for these constant temptations- but they sure do taste good!

5. Aunt Trish. She came to help/keep me and the boys company Halloween night, and also came over early on Sunday to help prepare the Sunday meal. Always a good friend and sweetheart!
