This is a video of the kids playing the other day. Just to note, Mackenzie was the one who started it!

A second date in November!
That's right, Morian and I were able to go out on a second date this month! Holy smokes! And we tried something new- instead of having a family member baby-sit, we actually got a Young Woman from our ward to come over and baby-sit, which means of course, that we had to pay her.
So, a while back, I got this groupon for a place called Planet Play. We got 2 buffet meal tickets, 2 attractions (like mini golf, mini bowling, go-karts, etc), and 2 $15 game cards (to be used on arcade games or more attractions, if so desired). So we went and ate dinner and then played some games. We ran into an old Young Men's leader of Morian's (small world) who he hadn't seen since right before Devin was born. The only major bummer was we didn't realize what time the place closed, so when we went to get dessert, all the food was pretty much put away already. (And sorry for the poor-quality photos. I forgot the camera so we just used the camera on my phone which is way slow!)
We tried a couple throws at mini-bowling. I'm definitely better at regular bowling!
A date...finally!
Since Mackenzie was born (over a year ago!) Morian and I haven't had too many opportunities to go out together, just the two of us. We finally made it out earlier this month to dinner and bowling (gotta love gift cards!) We ate at Olive Garden (Love it!) and then went bowling. We played 2 games (Morian=M, Kirsta=C) and as you can see, I won both (as usual)!
Man, 1 pin short of a turkey! It's frustrating how often I get that!
Big Helper
So the other day (okay really, it was like almost a month ago!) I was getting ready to feed Mackenzie some lunch when Devin sat down in my chair, grabbed the fork, and proceeded to feed his little sister. How cute!

Halloween- Part 3
Halloween was on a Monday this year. Devin goes to pre-school on Mondays. In class they were doing some Halloween activities/crafts or whatever and they were allowed to come in costume if they wanted. So Devin wore his wolf suit to school. We were a little nervous he would get too hot in it (it is super thick and warm) and he did! But he did have the hood up like the entire time!
Since Devin was in the wolf suit, Morian wanted to put Kenzie in the giraffe costume that Devin wore 2 years ago when he was about Kenzie's age. She made a pretty cute giraffe! After we dropped Devin off on the bus, we went and ran a few errands, keeping Kenzie dressed up as the giraffe.
Halloween- Part 2
This year, I changed my mind about costumes for the kids about a million times! Well okay, maybe it was only like 3 times, but it certainly seemed like a lot! First, they were gonna be Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. I had even convinced Morian to dress up as the hunter and I would be the granny. But I was having a hard time finding good wolf costumes. Plus, Devin doesn't even know that story. So I thought it might be fun to do something he knows and I came up with Peter Pan and TinkerBell. I was coming up with some great costumes ideas. But then Devin got into a huge Harry Potter kick and was watching all the movies all the time. This was right around his birthday. So I thought it would be fun for him to dress up as Harry Potter. Again, I was getting so good ideas and trying to come up with something that Kenzie could dress up as to go along with Harry...and then suddenly, Devin wasn't watching the movies anymore and it seemed like he had forgotten all about Harry. And that is when I introduced the wolf costume to him, to see how it would fit. My sister had gotten a wolf and Riding Hood costumes for me that I was hoping the kids could wear next year. But once Devin had that wolf suit on, it practically became his best friend. No joke, he sleeps with it at night! So we were right back where we started...and without further ado, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf!
Halloween- Part 1
Devin and I went up to my mom's ward Halloween Party this year on October 25. My sister, Kayley with her husband (Paul) and son (Glenn), as well as my brother, Ethan with his wife (Lena), son (Jasper), daughter (Freya), and mother-in-law (Galina) also came. They had a chili cook-off dinner and then a few games for the kids to play.
Here are a bunch of pictures of Devin, Glenn, and Jasper. They were so cute! And it's so fun to have them so close in age (there is 11 months between Devin and Glenn and then 17 months between Devin and Jasper), especially as they get older.
